We don't really have a better place for libkleo. kdepimlibs is only for libraries that had an API review and that have a stable API and ABI, and libkleo has neither. KMyMoney is our first external user, so the situation is not ideal anymore. I'd recommend packagers to depend on kdepim on the moment, or manually split out libkleo from kdepim. If libkleo changes, then an update of the KMyMoney package is needed as well, because of the lack of API/ABI guarantee. > Is it possible to move libkleo into the public libraries, kdepimlibs? I'd prefer to see it in kdepimlibs as well. I'd like to hear from Marc Mutz, the maintainer, if he is willing to keep the API and ABI stable. Other than that, we need to do an API review, but the first point is more important. The timeframe for all that is too short for KDE 4.4, unfortunately. > I see in the kdepimlibs/PLAN that kleo is listed as done: The file is incorrect, I've updated it now. Regards, Thomas
