Actually I think that quite a lot of people are building both branch and 
trunk.
Even after the release since it makes backporting easier or in the case of 
KDEPIM to actually work on 4.5.branch and forward port fixes to trunk.

Almost certainly not all modules though, most likely only the module they are 
working on and probably kdelibs (for debug symbols).
E.g. I build all of kdebase in trunk but only kdebase-runtime in branches.

Interesting that it somehow ended up in that tag. Should probably be removed 
now that it is no longer developed in kdesupport.

I checked my CMakeCache on my branch build and it seems to use the one that 
was installed by distribution packages. For trunk I am working with the 
upstream development version, i.e. a git clone of the respective repository.

That output looks like the version found does match the requirement and it 
even says "Found Phonon". You sure this is an error during the CMake run?

From the output it looks like this is your 4.4. build which checks the version 
and it also seems to be satisfied with what it found.
