It's a prereq for the KDE transition. That doesn't mean it's delaying it, given that it will still take some time to get the KDE transition together. Subversion itself now has its RC bugs fixed, and only waits on perl (... again) to be built on all archs. I'm still fine with removing pysvn and rapidsvn if libpng does hold up KDE, but it still looks to me like subversion has a shot at getting in first. > There's so much in the pile that temporarily removing a few leaf packages to > let the block in is not a bad idea though. That's certainly true, it's just a question of being sure we've identified the right leaf packages such that they actually help the process. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
