[Kstars-devel] INDI as a separate package

[Brian]

Hi Jasem,
As you know I use INDI extensively every clear night.
As long as the separate install works ok and we do not lose any 
functionality, should be fine by me.
However, would it still integrate with kstars, i.e. will I still be able 
to right click on a star and tell the scope to slew to it?

I was bit concerned when I found out that all the hardware drivers were 
being removed. Has the doco been changed to describe how to install 
required drivers?

I am currently running my observatory on suse 10.3 on a 64bit machine.
I have also installed a SUSE 11.0, which uses kde4  in part.
What level of kde4 will I need to test the new indi?
Can I download it vis svn?

Thanks,
Brian
