I had to do many changes to the buildsystem of every kdeedu app in 4.6 to let them build both monolithic and split. If you need to continue with a monolithic build, (and preferably if fedora is not the *only* distro that needs it), I'm willing to forward-port the changes to the master branch. However, IMHO, KDE shouldn't officially release both sets of tarballs. That would be a mess. When someone has a build problem, we'd have to ask not only what version number he has but also if he has monolithic or split. If you need to build $somekdemodule monolithic, you should put the split tarball contents back together yourself. -- Nicolas _______________________________________________ release-team mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team
