yeah I was part of that discussion too, and I also agree. We have this rule 
about trunk always being compilable, and though we all do make mistakes from 
time to time and should be forgiven for that the curret rush towards release 
means kexi bugs are not cought in a timely manner (i have it disabled to 
save compile ime). One week is way too much.

So it's not a final thing, but a way to move on towards 2.0

Oh, and without it sounding too harsh, I must say that KPlato often suffers 
from build errors too. So often that I have disabled it from my own build 
too. I will suggest that people stay around irc to hear and catch these 
things. Ok I should have mailed the commiter, so shoot me. Persoally I try 
to time my bigger commits with a period of time where i know i'm reachable. 
I have even gone on irc and asked someone else to confirm that they can 
build before leaving.

Again, these things happen and should be forgiven, but we should at the same 
time try to lessen the impact.

happy new year
Casper
