Description Oskar Wróbel 2009-04-29 12:09:16 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

It would be nice to provide (again) xdelta-style patches for release tarballs of KDE. This could save a lot of bandwidth for those that are compiling from source (as LFS,Gentoo users). This is especially significant for upgrading between minor releases because downloading several hundreds MB of sources just for security fixes seems like an overkill for me.
