I have now given the order to archive:
khipu
kije
tikzkit
pikasso
kdev-css
kdev-embedded
kdev-executebrowser
kdev-krazy2
kdev-mercurial
kdev-ruby
kdev-upload
kdev-verapp
kdev-xdebug
samba-mounter
polkit-kde-kcmodules-1
libqgit2
kalternatives
cervisia
Based on the discussion I have excluded kirogi and kexi (and related
projects). Also excluded kde-nomodeset since Neon still ships it.
Cheers
Nico
