LOL. Well, it was discussed between the kwebkitpart maintainer (Dawit) and the konqueror maintainer (me). If this was still the cvs or svn days, I would have imported kwebkitpart into the konqueror subdir, and it would be done already. With git I see value in keep the repo separate, hence the discussion here. But I'm not sure which big debate you want around this -- it's the practical solution from a technical point of view, to prevent lots of ugly "ifdef KDE_VERSION..." when adding new integration stuff to all of kdelibs/kparts, khtml, kwebkitpart and konqueror. By releasing it all together, we don't have to always add ifdefs and fallbacks for older versions of kdelibs. -- David Faure, [email protected], http://www.davidfaure.fr Sponsored by Nokia to work on KDE, incl.
