Well, the startup-related code is more or less rewritten (rearranged rather), so I guess I'd have to keep separate paths for both cases. On the other hand the kdelibs part of the part is quite small, so I could try supporting kdelibs-3.5.3+kdebase-3.5.2 (which should be the more sensible case anyway). > But even if it's not possible, I'm not objecting to this being committed. One of the TWG people is supposed to approve it, not just "not object", that doesn't count :). And is that including the splash changes? > Just warn the packagers that they should make kdebase-3.5.3 depend on > kdelibs-3.5.3 and vice-versa [if kdebase is installed]. -- Lubos Lunak KDE developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SuSE CR, s.r.o. e-mail: l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org Drahobejlova 27 tel: +420 2 9654 2373 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 2 9654 2374 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/
