Hi everyone,

I just want to say a big 'thank you' to everyone who has taken up my offer of 
testing the Kontact ebuild.  My apologies if I haven't replied to thank you 
in person!  There was a lot more interest than I imagined ;-)

Here's the current situation on the ebuild, as I understand it.

The ebuild itself appears to install Kontact just fine (after a couple of 
typos in the DEPEND were fixed ;-), and Kontact appears to work very well 
too.  I've had one report of a possible gcc-3.3-related problem to do with 
the pilot-link dependency, one report that the OpenGPG plugins may not work 
(although they do on my machine), and one report that Kolab may not like 
glibc-2.3.1-r4.  Other than that, things seem to be good with the ebuild 
itself.

After talking with pauldv from the KDE, we've agreed that this ebuild can go 
into Portage - but it will remain masked for the time being.  This version of 
Kontact overwrites parts of the original KDE install, and this is against our 
ebuild policy.  pauldv has volunteered to look into what it would take to 
create an accompanying kdenetwork ebuild that could be used to help Kontact 
be more compliant.

On the Kolab front, Erik Gjertsen has emailed me with details of a Kolab 
client ebuild, which I'm hoping to get to look at over the weekend.  There's 
no news yet of a Kolab server ebuild.

Best regards,
Stu
