Why is kdesdk one of the blocking packages? Does it depend on cupsys directly, unlike the other KDE packages? Every KDE package is listed as breaking if cupsys moves to Sarge only because they all depend on kdelibs. Note that when Qt was updated, only kdelibs and kdeartwork needed a rebuild, from what I can recall (I may be wrong here...). So unless I'm missing something, it isn't necessary for kdesdk (or most other KDE packages) to move into Sarge along with kdelibs/Qt etc. That said, a rebuild of both Qt and kdelibs would take a while. Just think of m68k... Qt is uploaded, then kdelibs is uploaded. Qt is picked up on m68k after a day, starts to build. kdelibs is picked up a day or two later, fails since Qt isn't done, sits there for 4 days until the new Qt for m68k hits Incoming, then starts to build again after another day... so I think 7 days is optimistic, even if everything is set Priority: High. > > One possible fudge would be simply to downgrade #255539 (and this > > bug, #256690) and ensure that the current kdelibs and Qt (and > > kdeartwork) make Sarge at the same time.

I guess someone needs to get the hints set up on cupsys and all the other packages. Once that's done, we can downgrade the RC bugs on kdelibs and Qt. Cheers, Christopher Martin
