Howdy, The recent build problems in our kdesupport package dependencies needs to be addressed.
I think we need to treat kdesupport libs just like any other external dependency. Something like the following guidelines: No KDE code (in trunk) changes should be necessary until: - a real release of the kdesupport package has been made AN - that release has been packaged by the "major" distros AND - an announcement about the needed upgrade is made in advance AND - people have had time (30 days?) to upgrade to the new packages For example: libfoo v1.0 is released. kde-packagers are notified to please provide packages for their distros. kde-devel and kde-code-devel are notified that within 30 days their builds will fail unless they have libfoo v1.0 installed -- that the distros have been notified and we hope packages will start appearing soon. People wanting to develop against libfoo v1.0 will need to do so in a work branch. I need to get out of the habit of building kdesupport all the time -- we should be relying on distro packages where possible.
