KDE Future on Slackware

“There has been a hot discussion on KDE’s packager mailing list
about KDE’s new policy of splitting up the big packages into
several small packages as you can see as in KDE’s FTP site. In the
past, KDE only break them into several packages, depending on the
category, such as kdeadmin, kdemultimedia, kdepim, etc.

What’s the impact? Well, for Slackware’s KDE maintainer point of
view, this breaks almost every SlackBuild script that they have
created in the past, since now they have to rework it again from
the scratch and that would requires a lot of time and efforts to
create the best SlackBuild script in order to compile KDE into
Slackware’s native packages.
