Hmm, I realize I can do pacman -Q | grep kde and find all the kde related packages that I have installed, but what about the configuration files? Are they erased? Should I remove QT4 and install qtmod from their repositories?

I thought KDEMod was irrelevant now that KDE4 was modular?

You have a point, I just thought KDEmod would have some patches that would be beneficial, because the community is more centered around KDE itself. I don't know though

Do
pacman -Rcn $(pacman -Q | grep kde | awk '{print $1}')
and everything, kde related, is going to be uninstalled. Check the pacman output, before pressing yes (in order to remove them) so that there isn't any precious package uninstalled as well.

Kdemod uses .kdemod4 instead of .kde4 for configuration files, though I imagine most if not all of those can be copied into without causing problems.
As for what to remove and install there's directions at the kdemod/chakra website
Also there's still some differences between the standard Arch kde and kdemod, so I wouldn't say kdemod is irrelevant.

Please read the FAQs in www.chakra-project.org website, it is very much relevant.

I decided to read the FAQs, and it says
Besides the modularity, some minor icon changes, a small tag in the about dialogs and maybe the one or other backported feature, you wont notice much of a difference to "regular" KDE.
The only difference between KDEmod and KDE (since it became modular) is that you have to wait for an KDEmod update, because the devs have to work things out. Oh, and a different kick off menu icon.

While Chakra itself is very relevant.
The difference between KDEmod and vanilla KDE are negligible IMO.
I don't really see a reason to maintain the two of them.
I used KDEmod prior to vanilla KDE going modular.

Well i think they have a different way of splitting packages, I like it better

Sure, there are still differences. But you can't deny that KDEmod lost its major badge of distinction when vanilla KDE became modular.

It was one community project that IMO could be merged into "official" Arch, but if the devs thought it would be better to have another team do it, I'm sure they have their reasons.
Anyway, I always liked KDEmod because they had their unstable repo that allowed to use an "almost trunk" version of KDE, which is always pretty exciting because you never know which new feature (or crash, for that matter) you're gonna find today, but it also cut the suspense of major KDE releases
And they also provide packages for small projects that aren't KDE official (for example, I think they had pretty up to date versions of rekonq and kile)

You can get those packages from AUR as well.

nothing like a dedicated repo!
