Not using enable-final roughly doubles build time on its on. Also, the release team has already agreed that not compiling static libraries is fine as well so it will be ok. None of the other kde packages (or qt afaik) compile static libraries either due to the massive time/space increase. http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2004/11/msg00145.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2004/11/msg00148.html Chris
