It would be a big help if it would be at least announced when qt-copy or Qt has to be updated. As it is now somebody just notices that something doesn't work anymore, and to make sure everything gets rebuilt correctly does a complete fresh build of Qt, which takes a lot of time and might cause everything else to be rebuilt too. That's also the reason why Bill stopped doing nightly builds of kdelibs, and apparently also the reason why the build on curie.tu-wien is still broken. On the practical side, it would help a lot if I would have access to a box which can use a compile cluster. > > I also can remember some posts or blogs like "the new kubuntu is an ideal > > KDE4 development platform since it comes with Qt 4.something and cmake > > 2.4.3" and the same for SUSE 10.2.

We need to get KDE4 out 2007 and making it harder to develop for it doesn't help in this regard.
