Wrong, keeping ifdef's brings long-term testing and maintainance costs, as you basically get two branches in one code base, which means that testing for each of those branches is cut down, and some new code has to be written for two scenarios. That's why we try to reduce these cases to an absolute minimum. What are your *specific* problems with the soprano dependency? Meta-comment: I find this issue cropping up rather late in the development cycle (we're past beta2, next up is RC1). Maybe we should make the introduction of new dependencies part of the freeze for the next cycle? -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org | GPG Key ID: 9119 0EF9 _______________________________________________ release-team mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team
