Hi, as found out by discussion on irc, a good solution for everyone relying on the default GHNS storage as provided by KDE is to just not hard-code any value for ProvidersUrl, but leave it out and let KNewStuff default to what is built into the KNewStuff library as current value.
So: --- 8< --- ProvidersUrl=http://{download,autoconfig}.kde.org/ocs/providers.xml --- 8< --- -> --- 8< --- --- 8< --- Cheers Friedrich
