Summary

gcc 4.3 and KDE 4:

according to upstream gcc 4.3 could miscompile kde4 and may produce unusable kde4 applications
we have to find out when gcc-4.3 is actually hitting rawhide
after that is done we have to rebuild all packages to figure out the problems and fill bugs

development progress: the road to kde4:

only kdeadmin is left from the normal packages
kde-l10n will maybe finished by ThanNgo tomorrow
KevinKofler suggested to eventually drop most of kdebase3-devel which isn't useful anymore
review for extragear-plasma is still ongoing and will be updated to 3.97.0 by SebastianVahl
it will also obsolete kdeaddons since most of the packages/functions are now in extragear-plasma

extragear packaging:

It would be good to package some modules from extragear which were in the base packages in KDE3:
extragear-base (all of it, or all that works, it's Konqueror plugins)
extragear-graphics: at least kiconedit and kcoloredit
extragear-multimedia: at least kmid and kaudiocreator
pim/ksig
if more than one app is in an extragear module it should be named like the module (e.g. extragear-multimedia)
packaging extragear modules won't get our primary attention. We should send a mail to fedora-devel-list with a list of the now missing apps from the base distribution and seek for maintainers who package them from extragear

/usr/share/doc/HTML/en/common and kdelibs3:

kdelibs3 is now missing some things which are in kdelibs
we will prepare a kdelibs-common package (from kdelibs(4)) which is required by kdelibs3 and kdelibs

Open Discussion:

LiveCD: yelp is pulling in firefox (again) which should be fixed (in yelp or in system-config-date which is requireing yelp)
the current package list of the livecd: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SebastianVahl/CurrentPackageList
