Ok, my vote is that as KDevelop ships now with KDE releases what I did
last time was to make sure kbabel and kdoc gets installed and shipped.
Maybe putting Cervisia into the kdevelop branch as well would be an
option, about the C reference I guess you all know that Ingo Zevenbergen
is rewriting a new one that ships with kdevelop then directly. But a KDK
like we used to have doesn't make much sense as it would require
decoupling the kdevelop releases from KDE again which is not what the
goal is. Please think about ideas what is needed and how to get stuff
into either kdesdk or kdevelop tags in CVS so that it is directly
available at packaging time. The packagers of the distributions will
thank you *a lot* if that is complete. I've been talking e.g. to Klaas
Freitag at SuSE to get a proper kdevelop package and the result is on
suse 7.1 that it works perfect with just selecting kdevelop in the
xdevel section and all dependencies are fullfilled. As far as graphic
apps are concerned or other mime-types I could add desktop files for
designer and linguist but the rest is done by KRun so it's up to the
user to decide which app to use. Maybe someone could volunteer for the
Real file viewer to rewrite that in a more konqueror style avoiding the
reload on changes, adding menu entries for "open with" and the default
apps like konqueror has ?
