You're welcome!  Unfortunately we're blocked by upstream's new code
generation dependency: libkode has no license and is not
redistributable...so I contacted them and hope for a quick resolution.

Honestly, I'm not confident that I'll be able to find the time and
energy to prepare an upload of kdsoap-ws-discovery-client to NEW.  Do we
have any new team members who are looking for somewhere to make an
initial contribution?  If so, please let them know about this
opportunity to be part of the solution for a significantly visible
feature :)

IMHO starting the one month long salvage process when I did makes sense
because there's no reason why one person has to do all three tasks
(KDSoap, kdsoap-ws-discovery-client, kio-extras).  An ideal scenario
will be that the maintainer of KDSoap will want to maintain the package
on our team (and the new client); The worst scenario would be
running out of time for a salvage, or doing a last-minute quick-salvage
that borders on a hijack.

Thank you for letting me know about kdsoap-ws-discovery-client.

Regards,
Nicholas
