[kde-solaris] status on kde3.1

[Cory C. Omand]

Stefan,

Are you compiling on Solaris 8 or 9?  If you are setting up on 8, could I get a 
copy of your sources to compile a similar set of packages for S9?  What sort of 
build environment are you using?  Have you considered a setup like GAR?

Regards,
C. Omand
