Summary

Preparing for Beta and Feature Freeze 4 March 2008:

• KDE 4.0.2 would be tagged on Feb 27 and be released on Mar 05
• Because this is mostly a bugfix release it should pass rel-eng
• some non-functional KDE 3 packages were EOL'd
• for other packages bugs are already filed

Package list for the live images:

• konversation pulls in kdebase3 which is likely not needed
• with ktorrent-3.0.0 another app is ported to KDE 4

Call for KDE 3.5.9 testing:

• KDE 3.5.9 is in fedora-updates-testing for some days now
• it could be pushed to stable next week if no breakage reports appear
• because of KDE 4 being in Rawhide this is the only testing ground and needs to be advertised before pushing it to stable
• proposals for the advertise: blogs, fedora-list, fedora-test-list, kde-redhat-lists

KDE 4 packages "branding":

• we should brand the fedora packages with "Fedora Packages"
• this would be done by a patch for kdelibs by LukasTinkl
