KDE 4 SIG Interview

[ Thanks to Nobody for this
link. ]

What more work is there to be done before you’re
content with the shape of things for Fedora 9?

Sebastian Vahl: (I will mainly speak for the
live images here:) The live images for the KDE spin should be in a
pretty good shape. With the inclusion of KDE 4.0, the package list
had to be reworked. The main problem here was to include the KDE
4.0 desktop and also some packages from KDE 3.5 which aren’t ported
yet. This has increased the size and so some packages from KDE 3.5
had to go (I think some people will miss amarok but until it’s
ported it seems like there is not enough space on the live images).
But, if someone is missing an application on the live images: I’m
always open to suggestions.

Rex Dieter: KDE 4.0 still has a lot of rough
edges, which will require some work and feedback with upstream to
iron out. Packaging polish will need to get better over time
too…”
