Yes, i think the original email comes from a bit of misunderstanding on how we work. We are not a top-down organization. There is hardly an "official" anything in KDE. We have dolphin but we also have krusader, sure one ships with KDE Gear and the other doesn't but that's more a release schedule decision than one being more official than the other. We have gwenview and koko, both shipping in KDE Gear. And more and more examples. So unless the people working on kdesrc-build want people to stop using that and no one else steps up to work on it kdesrc-build will be as "official" as it is today, 0% official and 100% official at the same time.

I don't think reviewing or not of kde-builder should have any effect on kdesrc-build. I think also we should be slightly wary of changing a long-running 20y old tool written by long time kde people who are still around with a brand new tool written by a brand new contributor. I wonder if it will have the same shelf life as the ruby version that was done some years ago and abandoned. /Sune

What is the point of rewriting a tool originally written in a stable language that guarantees long-term backwards compatibility (since the originally planned incompatible "Perl 6" was renamed, as it should) and with a syntax close to C/C++ (i.e., what KDE software is mostly written in), rewriting it in a programming language that releases completely backwards- incompatible major versions every few years and whose syntax depends on whitespace (!)? Do we not have enough pointless porting busywork for the incompatible Qt major releases yet, so now we need the same for KDE Builder? Kevin Kofler
