I would very much like to see KDEPIM with 4.6 as it will receive wider=20
testing then, but I also value the feedback of the people who say its not=20
yet stable enough and has too many open bug reports. I also worry about=20
the load Nepomuk/Akonadi might put on my ThinkPad T42. I still find that=20
Nepomuk/Virtuoso based desktop search tends to put quite some workload=20
onto it.

I didn't yet test KDEPIM 4.6. I was about to download the KDEPIM test=20
livecd I saw mentioned in a thread here, but then I put my attention on=20
some else which was important to me again.

What about doing a KDEPIM release with KDE 4.6 but clearly mark it as beta=
=20
and asking distributors that want to ship KDE 4.6 in their next version to=
=20
package these in their development branches, so more people can easily=20
adopt and test KDEPIM and working together with the packaging teams and=20
upstream on the issues that come up - in my case for example with the=20
excellent Debian KDE/Qt team and packages from experimental or qt-
kde.debian.net experimental-snapshots. I am willing to report bugs=20
upstream and provide informations asked of me. Distributors could still=20
fail back to 4.4.8 if they want to release before KDEPIM 4.6 is stable=20
enough for them. For endusers that compile KDE themselves you can over=20
that they use the stable 4.4.8 when they do depend on a stable KDEPIM.=20
Just be honest and let them decide for themselves which version to use.

Having packages would make it quite easy to downgrade if its get too=20
annoying - preferably after doing good bug reports - and upgrade again at=20
a later date.

Another way for me for testing would be a virtual machine image with=20
persistent write support. But for me it poses the difficulty that I still=20
use POP3 and have all mails - *lots of them* - local. I didn't migrate to=20
IMAP yet, as creating filtering for easily 50+ folders and a spam filter=20
setup with CRM114 on the server is quite some work and I usually only use=20
my laptop to read mails.

What could work, at least trying to use KMail 2 with POP that leaves mail=20
of the server, I duplicing ~/Mail into the virtual machine to see how=20
migration turns out. But my ~/Mail is huge.

Or really finally compile KDEPIM myself and switch forward and backwards=20
with some environment variables. I now have a bigger harddisk so I should=20
be able to make enough room for a compilation, but still wonder how long=20
it would take with a Pentium M 1.8 GHz and 2 GB of RAM.

I hope to take time to have a look at it during the holidays.
