I have a working installation of KDE-3.1 (now ~ RC5). And I will
compile KDE again when it is released (I usually compile from cvs).

I am willing to provide packages built with gcc 3.1 on Solaris 7. But
the way I compile/distribute KDE around here is by providing one huge
tarball (that untars in /usr/local/KDE). I also prepare another tarball
that contains all the dependencies(Qt+all the kde support libs).

I would appreciate if someone sends me instructions on how to package
KDE in a nice manner, that takes care of the dependencies as well ...

Thanks,
