Agreed. |

I'm not going there. Suffice it to say I'm no longer an amarok user. |

It's automagic from here. I just run kde. What it does, I don't know. I |
| 33 |
just don't want it to break! (And upgrade implications will get worse |
| 34 |
with kde 4.5 in August, as kmail will be depending on it then, and users |
| 35 |
tend to get rather cross when their mail store gets hosed! With 4.4, it's |
| 36 |
mainly the address book.) |

What I was suggesting, between the lines, is to coordinate with the kde |
| 45 |
project. They may want to create their own upgrade document, which might |
| 46 |
be listed in the news release or in a separate one (testing for both mysql |
| 47 |
and kde). Hopefully they reply to this thread with whatever their |
| 48 |
concerns there might be. |
