I had a look on that package, but as i don't know about current kde3 practices, i'd rather not step forward to upload. > knoda is a database frontend for KDE.

This library, though limited and in need of a little finishing, might attract people using it. If you do care for it (and the archive) you may want to give it a try as a package and, after some time, see if it's getting used, evtly. asking for its removal and then use it privately in your other package. greetings, martin -- Use dselect for user-friendly package management
