[PyKDE] PyKDE 3.8 - how soon?

[Jim Bublitz]

I haven't tested PyKDE against the 3.8 release yet, but it built 
without problems against the last snapshots before the release.  
I know the packagers are just finishing up 3.7 rpms, and there 
are only a few and not very apparent changes for PyKDE going 
from 3.7 to 3.8. The PyKDE 3.7 build.py won't let you build 
against sip/PyQt 3.8 though. I've added a switch to build.py to 
turn off strict version checking for the next release (although 
it's still on by default).

I can:

1. Just wait for the next release to upgrade to 3.8 (the ever 
popular "about two weeks away")

2. Post the modified build.py that will let you build PyKDE 3.7 
against sip/PyQt 3.8 either here, on sourceforge, or both

3. Do a quick PyKDE 3.8 release - it won't be much different from 
PyKDE 3.7 (mostly the numbers in the docs will change). Looks 
like maybe an hour to do the upgrade and a few hours (just 
machine time) to test - famous last words.

If anyone has an opinion one way or the other, let me know and 
I'll try to accomodate. Otherwise, my preference is to 
procrastinate and wait for the next release :)
