Personally, I'm in favour of split tarballs. But as there seems to be so much opposition to this approach [1], I could take return to old ways with everything except kdebindings. Could you please keep that ugly beast split in 4.7 and on onwards? Btw, a decision (whatever it is) needs to be made quickly and some real work *must be put* to implement it in case you decide to go back to those monolithic tarballs. With so much uncertainty in the air, nobody valuing his/her own time will package any betas or RCs until there is no way back when 4.7final is released. [1] Do you really want to go back in time when Xorg/XFree86 was monolithic? Xorg 6.9.0 died pretty fast and there was a good reason for it. -- Modestas Vainius <[email protected]>
