Right, you were talking about development (with includes) installations. 
That answers a question I asked previously at least (when I mentioned -dev 
packages etc).

Ok, cool. I'm just wondering what restrictions are being imposed. We can 
have multiple layers of KDEDIRS env var, right? If you're restricting 
KDEFrameworksConfig.cmake to only two levels, that could have more 
consequences.

Do you mean 'isn't' and 'does require...'? Yes, it's like a backwards 
policy. We would need to evaluate the effort of maintaining it, and more 
importantly Brad and David would have to agree and want it, because they 
would need to review all incoming patches for backwards policy compliance.

I'll bring it to the CMake list.

Thanks,

Steve.
