Hi Chris,

I don't know really for kde3-network specifically but I managed to 
compile on a kde-lite without much problems on 8-STABLE after having 
deleted openssl port.

As for whether it is unmaintained, as long its not broken, I don't see
a reason to fix it unless you have specific needs for kde4...

Cheers, 8-)

Etienne
