Ok, done
https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=sysadmin%2Frelease-tools.git&a=blobdiff&h=b56bb046e74551c7b83feb57cf8b21ad14f37bd7&hp=1d7ed49477941ff302f4fafd31696b7e282663e5&hb=a843ec23c5b4be895e4b5df6e76ea5d73a7b2c7f&f=modules.git

I'm a bit confused because later you say "this will mean that there are two PIM libraries fewer (yay)"

Which is the other library that goes away? Do we need to remove its repository from being release too?

Cheers,

> The API is mostly untouched but functionality moved from the Libkleo
