ZeroConf stuff missing in KDE 3.4 packages?

2005-04-05 Thread Sebastian Ley
Hello, I just tried out the new KDE 3.4 packages from Alioth. Except for a filename clash between kmail and kdebase-data which needed manual intervention (manually upgrade kdebase-data beforehand), installation went smoothly. Thanks for the good work! However I noticed that the ZeroConf stuff
