That's not entirely right. For the last beta I asked dirk to do the automoc4 
0.9.83 tarball. You can find it on ftp.kde.org.

I need an automoc4 0.9.84 release as soon as possible, though. (I already 
released one package on kde-apps.org that needs 0.9.84 when using cmake 2.6)

I think the automoc (and phonon for that matter) releases need a better place 
on ftp.kde.org. And either someone will need to take responsibility for those 
releases or I need to get access and instructions how to do them.
