Sorry, forgot about it :) 

If you want to move any plugins to extragear they should at least
formally be provided for review (i.e. move to kdereview for 2 weeks). So
thats out of the question for beta8. However I don't see a problem
releasing them from playground.

As we're releasing kdevplatform and kdevelop separately I don't see a
reason to do something else for xdebug and its deps. However for
packagers a note in the README file would be good and let me know the
dependency chain too so I can include it in the mail to the
kde-packagers list as well.

Then all you have to do is tag the plugins and create a tarball from the
tag. Name of the tarball and extracted directory should be something
like kdevelop-<plugin>-<version>. To get a clean dir to tar you can use
svn export.

Let me know if anything is unclear still.
