When you say msvc libs you're talking about kdelibs compiled with msvc, right? If we only support mingw shipments as you suggest, I don't see that danger. I see no advantage for shipping msvc too - beside to developers. And these libs we need to hide well under cryptic names :) Greetings, Stephan _______________________________________________ release-team mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team
