I have found that I'm now going through the KDE changelogs less looking for what is new and helpful, and more for what is removed and broken. One of my major apps, Kaddressbook, has had much of the functionality that I depend on removed for KDE 4.4.
Dotan, would it help if we made the KDE SC 4.3.5 kaddressbook built vs KDE 4.4.x available while the features temporarily lost during the Akonadi port are restored? It should be possible.
That would be about the greatest thing Suse ever did!
Heh, well I don't know about that but I see now how much these features mean to you. So try the kdepim4 packages from home:wstephenson:branches:KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop specifically the kaddressbook package, which contains the akonadi based kaddressbook and the old one, _renamed_to_koldaddressbook_. I have built it locally and it runs, so the OBS should have built through in an hour or so. Be aware though, I don't like swimming against the current like this so I am not going to a) keep this up to date going forward or fix bugs in the old kaddressbook b) port Amarok 1.x to Qt 4 [1] c) port Kicker + KDesktop similarly ;). In return I hope you will ensure bugs are filed at bugs.kde.org vs kaddressbook and clearly marked as Regressions for all the features not yet restored to the Akonadi kaddressbook, so KDAB, who have assured me that the Akonadi ports in KDE 4.5 will be ready for production use, and the community kdepim developers, do not write off features as won't-be-missed. The only regressions reported by you so far vs current kaddressbook are the missing fields at bko#222678 (see http://bit.ly/ayiL1u), there must be others.
