Hmm.. a binary that are in both version should only be installed once. |
| 8 |
Ie. you install the libraries for kde-2 and kde-3 but only kdm for |
| 9 |
kde-3. |

When would you want to do this. If an app works fine in the latest |
| 17 |
KDE-release then just compile it against that release. |

This is solved by always keep kde-libs 2 and 3 installed. |

Just to clearify, this is just about KDE, the GNOME developers are |
| 30 |
making sure that you can install GNOME 1 and GNOME 2 in the same prefix, |
| 31 |
ie. They name the library-files different and they add the headers in a |
| 32 |
version-dependent way. KDE should fix this too. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Also, we have determined already that /opt is for binary packages only. |
| 35 |
Therefor putting KDE there is not an option. |

Now I'm off to bed. |
