Heya,

Could you please reconsider that decision and check whether it's not more 
worthwhile making kdiff3 part of KDE Applications? It will save you (as the 
maintainer) and others (distribution packagers) a major headache.

You'll be responsible for releasing kdiff3 now and in the future if you choose 
to do your own release schedule. Let me just say: It's not something which is 
particular entertaining in the long-term. Your KDiff3 involvement will get 
less eventually, and then someone else needs to take over releasing it -- if 
it's part of the KDE Apps cycle it'll be done automatically, no matter what.

KDiff3 is not the type of application which needs its own release cycle, IMO, 
it's too small & "undynamic" [1] for that.

Regards,
Kevin


[1] "Undynamic" in a sense that we're likely not going to see drastic UI 
changes on weekly basis which need to get out to users ASAP. At least for 
kdiff3 I'd rather have a conservative approach in that regard, since it's a 
complex tool by definition.
