It would be better if he(Balcaen John) add packager mailing list to CC. Since 
I'm mainly a packager, I'm following this thread from kde-packager mailing 
list, and kde-pim is not in my list of subscribed KDE lists.

OBS may be modified for Pardus, I've been talked to Lubos about that but we 
don't have time to provide a 'base system' to OBS guys right now. 

We already have a buildfarm implementation and we're using it for years, but 
packaging a software just to see whether it'll be compiled or not, is not a 
good idea, since reverting a package also means effort. I'm maintaining 
hundreds of packages, so if I try this for all my packages, all of my time 
will go to experimenting and reverting :)

In release announcements, authors must specify software's dependencies and 
compatible/incompatible points. There are still distros using KDE 4.4, 4.5 and 
4.6 so, all users of those distros will try to use/package 4.4.9, so it would 
also be good if you give information about that 3 seperate KDE versions in the 
announcement.
