Yup!  But to be used with care =85 :-)  I find it quite scary that anyone w=
ho
has access can modify anything anywhere in KDE software, but I think
there is some monitoring of what we commit.

Yes, that [1] is a desirable goal, if I can just get kdesrc-build to go =85=
 ;-)  That
Zarboz guy must have hit it at a lucky time.

It turns out that one at least needs some MacPorts patches to overcome KDE
portability problems and so it might make sense to put some of them upstrea=
m.
OTOH I can think of at least one case where MacPorts just decides to do thi=
ngs
differently to KDE and, if that is a patch, it should *not* go upstream.

Perhaps these things will "all come out in the wash", as my accountant
likes to say, when we have closer links to KDE CI, testing and releases.

Cheers, Ian W.
