Some KDEmod unfun

So apparently packages use to make a depends check of "kdemod>=3.3.0" or similar. Now they simply check against "kdelibs3".

This means when some updates got pushed lately, they demanded kdelibs, and would not accept kdemod-kdelibs. I hope the Arch people at least contacted the KDEmod team about this before doing it.

Affected updates I've found so far, and my fixed PKGBUILDs to get people by if they want to update and not block the package:

build() {
   cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-1.0
   if [ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ]; then
      # not the best way but gentoo patch didn't work
      export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -fPIC"
      export CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS"
   fi
   ./configure --prefix=/opt/kde --without-arts
   make || return 1
   make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install || return 1
}

Others affected:
- Yakuake, but the new PKGBUILD claims to depend on KDE4, so I'm not going to attempt to make that to work with KDEmod 3.x

Does anybody know if Arch contacted the KDEmod team to let them know about this massive change?

Perhaps Arch should setup a mailing list for Arch-dependent projects like KDEmod, where big changes in the software in Arch can be announced?

The library conflicts have been discussed both here and on kdemod's forum.
