"KDEBUILD is no longer in use by any developers, as such paludis will |
| 24 |
be removing support for it" is factually more accurate. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Council doesn't care if you leave KDEBUILD support in your PM- |
| 27 |
considering you've been claiming leaving it in PMS was needed for |
| 28 |
users (and that one must always think of the users), the wording |
| 29 |
implying blaim on the council is rather unnecessary. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Jam it in your NEWS/RELEASE notes if you want to slant it, basically. |

This seems like this news item should be hitting gentoo-kde's overlay |
| 47 |
on a sidenote- yes, the news item is about paludis, but the folk |
| 48 |
affected are the ones who daftly used KDEBUILD eapis out of that |
| 49 |
overlay. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Either this, or a seperate NEWS item added to that overlay stating |
| 52 |
"KDEBUILD is dead, remove those merged pkgs" would be wise. |
