I've done this over the weekend [1] and I would like to share my impressions. First of all I should have stuck to using MSVC 2010 for this build (because it was known to work) but I thought newer is better, right? So I picked MSVC2013. I ended up needing to do a lot of small patches mostly removing stuff that was added because previous versions of MSVC were lacking some functions which were added in 2013. I took me two days to build KMyMoney and now I need to collect my patches to be able to publish them (will be doing this in the following days as I'll have time). Then after I had everything running properly I needed to create the package. I used the NullSoftPackager from emerge that I created last time. Got some gray hair while trying to blacklist files to reduce the size of the installer and still keeping everything working but in the end, after another day, here it is [2]. Multiply the above experience 3 times (the number of supported compilers) and n times (the number of applications released) and one could begin to understand the difficulty of creating a KDE Windows release. That's why in frameworks I would like if we would focus on the availability of the frameworks (added the upcoming PIM frameworks) and from then on release each application on it's own.
