Yeah, it looks like b) is prefered. So let's plan with this option. In case nobody is interested in (or have time for) doing a settings migrating tool for the stuff that is not migrated by the apps [1], we always can setup a page (and also maybe a README in the packages?) with some hints for migrating the stuff and have some pointer when people yells: WHERE IS MY EMAIL? We have several cases: - User of KDE 3 going to KDE 4 when it enters in unstable. (base case) - Current user of KDE 4.2 who have already migrated settings. (nothing to do in our side, they have already migrated themselves) - And the hard one: user of KDE 3 using some KDE 4 stuff. They have .kde and .kde4 with data in both. Ana [1] For what I have understood in this thread, everything should be migrated, and when it is not possible, being ignored. And when it is not correclty migrated it is a bug to report to upstream. -- http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-kde-talk
