Which branch for kdevelop4?

[Hamish Rodda]

Hi,

Now that the development of kdevelop4 is about to take off, it's time to 
discuss something that has potentially been holding it back for a while: 
which version of kdelibs we develop against.

The options:
1) Stay developing against the current kdelibs4_snapshot.
Advantages:
* breakage from externally is only infrequent

Disadvantages
* severe bugs tend to not get fixed, or get fixed in a non-timely manner.
* some of the effort will have to be devoted to making sure snapshot is 
usable.  The big example here is katepart, which is broken in snapshot for 
anyone actually wanting to use it.
* if there is an improvement in interfaces in kdelibs, it takes quite some 
time for us to be able to make use of them.

2) Start developing against kdelibs4 trunk.
Advantages:
* quick bugfixes
* exposure to new apis as they emerge

Disadvantages:
* external breakage can come at any time

So, opinions?  For now, I am happy to backport the kate bugfixes so we can 
actually work with snapshot...

Cheers,
Hamish.
