[PyKDE] PyKDE 3.11 snapshot

[Jim Bublitz]

I'm finishing a couple of test builds for PyKDE-3.11alpha5 and 
assuming those work OK, I'll be sending a tarball to Phil to put 
up either on the PyKDE page or in a PyKDE snapshot directory.

This isn't the final release. It should build against any KDE 
version from 3.0.0 through 3.2.1 inclusive. It has (more or 
less) the final build system and I've fixed all of the bugs 
people have posted to the list (I think).

It requires sip >= 3.10.1 (3.10 isn't sufficient) and PyQt >= 
3.11. I've tested it against SuSE 9.0/KDE3.2.1, SuSE 
8.2/KDE3.1.1 and RH 9.0/KDE3.1.0. You'll also need to have 
installed the *config.py files that the new sip and PyQt create 
and install (usually in /site-packages). If you build from a 
tarball, those are created automatically - I'm not sure how 
packagers have been handling those. As always, you need to have 
sip and PyQt installed and the PyQt sip files installed as well 
(pyqtconfig.py should point to those).

I'll be doing more testing against different distributions and 
KDE versions and adding KDE 3.2.2 support over the next couple 
of days, and should have another snapshot available when that's 
completed. The final release still needs updated docs and a few 
other minor details cleaned up. I also haven't tested the 
command line switches to configure.py, but will before the final 
release.

I'd recommend that anyone experiencing problems with PyKDE 3.8 
installation upgrade their sip and PyQt versions and use the 
PyKDE snapshots or wait for the final release.

Please report any build, compile or execution errors you run 
across to the list.

Sorry for the long delay in getting this out.
