Unless someone has serious objections, I would like to propose to move the
following to kdenonbeta:
- kdelibs/ksmartcard - it's quite incomplete and I have no intentions of
working on it any time soon. I don't think Fernando does either.
- kdeutils/kcardtools - needs ksmartcard
- kdegraphics/kpdf - This isn't my code, but it's horribly crashy and not
getting any better. It plain doesn't work at all on Linux/PPC and after an
hour of trying to fix crashes it still was crashing all over the place. I
have been told that this is the case on other platforms too. I don't think
it's release worthy for 3.2. This is unfortunate since Ghostview is so slow.
I also removed the ssl I/O device from KSSL tonight. It's not ready for 3.2
and Qt provides such a thing now with Qt Solutions. Hopefully we can
convince them to make a GPLed version for X11 the way they did with QXEmbed.
Otherwise we should attempt to provide a compatible API with theirs.
On the topic of SSL, I would like to find a new maintainer for it. It's
almost feature complete (just client certificates and certificate generation
need work), and there are very few bugs.
