After having seen the following: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user-0010/msg03670.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde-0011/msg00003.html http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2000/1127/6614278a.html
and of course the posts from Ivan detailing progress on getting KDE packaged, the thought occurred to me that it might be helpful to have a compile farm for building KDE. Reduce the design, compile, test time by a factor of 10 maybe. Is that realistic? Would it be beneficial? Someone out there benefiting from kde must have a load of workstations they could configure to allow a developer to do compiles on. Maybe even have 1 dedicated machine that could install then run the packaged KDE system & export the X display over the internet to the developers workstation, so the developer doesn't have to even dl the results across the net. (Maybe use vnc? http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ ) I also recall reading that compiling sun's star office takes 10, or 10's of hours. Maybe the farm could be used for a number of projects.
