The kde configuration system (including the --enable-final) is used in |
17 |
many kde applications that are not in kde-base. While --enable-final will |
18 |
not work in all of those applications, the amount of applications in |
19 |
which it would work is probably substantial. I agree with Carsten on his |
20 |
reluctance to add the description for all these packages. It is not the |
21 |
work required (scripting makes it doable), but the fact that it does not |
22 |
make much sense. |
