Re: towards KDE 4.5? (mail to -release, filling the needed info)

 Fabo, do you know when is Qt 4.7 being released? :) I have not idea about
 approx dates and we need them if we are about to tell our plans to the
 release team. Actually, it might be a good idea to handle this separately?

We could expect Qt 4.7.0 being released on 1st week of September .

Cheers,

Fathi

 The plan is: shipping into the next stable release with KDE 4.5.x where
 x is hopefully at least =2 with Qt 4.7.

2 will still be too buggy (it always is). I would estimate 1 at the end of 
August (sooner than 1 month), 2 at the end of September, 3 at the end of 
October. We should stress to RT than KDE point releases won't have any effect 
on the rest of the archive, not even shlibs bump of anything (example 4.4.4 - 
4.4.5 which went flawlessly). They have nothing to worry about.

 The 4.5.0 release is in 2 days and we are far from having packages ready,
 so as Modestas pointed, we could ship then wherever we have something
 ok for general public at qt-kde.d.n and later upload 4.5.1 directly to the
 archive.
 4.5.1 is supposed to be released in the 2nd week of September.

As I said above, I expect it to be released way sooner. Quoting dirk:

Unfortunately it seems
that lots of fixes are being backported at the moment, so we have to delay
the rest to an early 4.5.1 release it seems.

 About KDE 4.5, gkiagia, Modestas: what have you found so far? As I have
 understood it, we should have not problems with the soname bumps/additions/
 removals (if any) out of KDE (SC).

Nop, there will definitely be removals and soname bumps out of KDE SC (some 
workspace libs, libkonq5, kdegraphics libs). A couple of packages will need to 
be binNMUed. That's definitely digikam (maybe new upstream release even), 
kphotoalbum, ktorrent, konq-plugins, kmess, kdiff3, probably a few more.

 Finally, it is kdepim. The official planning currently says they will
 skip 4.5.0 and release with 4.5.1 and well, the changes will be big.
 Should we keep 4.4.x anyway?

My vote goes to kdepim 4.4.x stack. kdepim-akonadi will be too fresh and 
untested for stable Debian release.

Also, I know we have one new package neeeded, grantlee, but it is already in 
the archive (thanks to bricks!).
