Typically a new point release of KDE only includes bug fixes, so this
shouldn't be a big issue. Once the ia64 issue is resolved which you
mention is fixed in the other email hopefully KDE will be able to
migrate to sarge. Its about time KDE 2.2 disappeared from testing. If
no other major issues crop up KDE 3.1.3 should be ready for sarge in
about 2 weeks.

Yea thats the one! Thanks 8)
I was going to report that bug upstream after I finished with the rest
of the debs, so I could gather any other gcc issues, but it looks like
you beat me to it. :)

Great. 8) As I understand it 3.4 also will get the pch speedup. Do you
know if this will help with the way Debian builds packages, or does it
require special setup?
