Hi Sune,
Do you know of anything > KDE 4.8.4 waiting to be officially pushed to
the debian repository once wheezy is stable?
Reason I ask is that it can be assumed that people are *assuming* that
there isn't, so are going ahead and building their own with a mash up of
ubuntu's bzr repo and whats useful in debian's git (not much really afaics).
As I see wheezy is pretty close, it may be a surprise to some to see a
push to debians git repo with all 4.10 based commits after release.
So if you could answer the above question and perhaps expand on your
plans for KDE (4.10) that would be great. Thanks.
J.
