I believe we are supposed to build the rest of KDE (git) against the 4.7 
branch of kdelibs now, since master is stale and frozen? Has that changed 
again?

Currently, half of workspace fails to configure because CMake can't find 
kactivities. Apparently, the needed cmake stuff is only in the separate 
repository (unless someone fixed that in kdelibs within the past two days, I 
couldn't try since).

So in order to make workspace build, we seem to need the separate kactivites 
now - which collides with the version kdelibs installs.

Could someone please clarify how we're supposed to handle this situation, if 
distros packaging KDE from git should also package kactivities (in which case 
kdelibs need fixing to not install the lib), or if we should ignore the 
separate repo and continue to use the one from kdelibs (in which case kdelibs 
needs fixing to provide the cmake stuff)?

Thanks,
