Please be patient, It will get done, however since each part requies extensive testing (=>bento test builds), it'll be spread over a couple moths, I haven't looked at the schedule for 4.8, but that's really the only deadline WRT this that matters to me. I want a good long shakeout period first. Also note that I have responsiblity to get the 3.0 4 kde releases out the door, and if everything works close to right, have I got a niice surprise there for it. Amd LDE 3.1 is coming up, I'm still looking for work, and and I got called for $()@**()$ jury duty, which I'm hoping to get out of with a little help from one of my MDs. So just hang in thre. There's a goal in sight, it justis a ways off. If OTOH there is no 4.8, but we put out 5.0, then that will open up a hole slew of mew issues due to cimpoer version -- Alan Eldridge Unix/C(++) IT Pro, 20 yrs, seeking new employment.
