Not all those features are merged in yet, see e.g. my Plasma PackageKit GSoC work. > note that some of the more actively changing and developed code in kdelibs > have moved to separate git repositories already to make this issue moot > for them (kactivities, nepomuk) That is also a nightmare to packagers. Especially kactivities is a big problem because kde-workspace 4.7 (not 4.8!) is now reported to rely on a new kactivities which is not in kdelibs 4.7. That makes no sense whatsoever. Kevin Kofler
