Summary

knetworkmanager:

• An initial build of knetworkmanager with NetworkManager-0.7 support was built and then withdrawn (untagged) from Rawhide
• It is still rough and missing many features. We have to evaluate it before F9 gets frozen

PolicyKit integration:

• We should make sure to integrate PolicyKit in KDE 4 before F9 gets frozen.

missing former KDE 3 packages (kmid, kaudiocreator, ksig, konq-plugins):

• SebastianVahl has packaged the svn versions of kmid and kaudiocreator (SPECS available at KDE4Status )
• kaudiocreator is always crashing at startup. kmid should be usable but is untested at the moment.
• ksig and konq-plugins are not yet packaged
• We should consider if we don't ship a kdemultimedia3 package instead (only if this is really needed)
• RexDieter will package at least arts in a (compat-)kdemultimedia3 package

compiz-kde:

• compiz-kde has unresolved dependencies (libkdecorations.so) for some time now because kde-window-decorator isn't ported to kwin4 yet
• The kde-desktop-effects.sh script inside compiz-kde should be adjusted to also provide a quick switch to kwin's desktop effects.
• At least the namings should be adjusted

Last preparations before Feature Freeze:

• generally speaking KDE 4 should be in a good shape
• If possible we should package more KDE 4 applications
• koffice2 should also be considered
