28 I don't think this is a good idea.
29 On RedHat distribution you got this foolish system (of course binary
30 packages).
31 You don't know which application is in the normal kde distribution or just a
32 plain application like whatever.
33
34 If you see kde as one complete desktop enviroment, then you let kde as is
35 (compiling all applications in one package the same time), there aren't a lot
36 of patches for kde in the last few months, so we can live with it as is.
