However I still don't see anything for s390 being built and the graph indicates nothing is (notice its continuous downward sloping). Needless to say arm and s390 have yet to even build the old buggy kdebase, which was uploaded nearly a month ago. > >kde 3.1.5 releases next week and KDE 3.2 RC1 the week after that.

Pretty much all of KDE 3.1.4 was done by Oct 18. The exceptions were kdebase and kdemultimedia. kdebase due to it having numerous packaging bugs many of which were fixed (of course kdm now has a new one). kdemultimedia because it had many compiler errors. The last time I tried building kdemultimedia it still had some problems with xine (that was about 2 weeks ago). I'll go ahead and upload kdebase and kdemultimedia 3.1.4 to make everyone happy, but I don't see it taking (the initial) 6 weeks to get kde 3.2 working. The reason kde 3.1.4 took until Oct 18 to go into sid (iirc) was due to breakage in the archive. If we have breakage in the archive this close to sarge release it likely won't release. > Please, please don't do it. If you want to upload KDE 3.2 to "experimental" > and see how it goes.

I haven't heard of very many complaints. The only part of KDE still at 2.x that I know of is kdemultimedia, which was due to its source breakage from 3.1.2 onward, yes we are having to patch around it for it to even work now. But as I mentioned above I will upload new kdebase/kdemultimedia that fixes their problems before putting 3.2 into the archive. Chris
