KDE 4.4.0 update builds for F11 and F12

Hi,

we have started building KDE 4.4.0 for F11 and F12 updates. Here is the list 
of everything that needs building (WARNING: not completely sorted in 
dependency order):
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/KDE_4.4.0_update_set


To all the KDE maintainers: please help getting these built (F11 and F12 at 
the same time if possible) and update the status on the wiki so we know 
what's already built and what's still missing.

At least these should not need further buildroot overrides:
PyQwt 
qedje 
qgis 
qscintilla 
qzion 
scidavis
qtscriptgenerator
arora 
qt-creator

Once we're through with kdelibs (currently running, hopefully it'll succeed) 
and have it tagged into the buildroot, we can also get started with the KDE 
stuff.


To the users: as you can see from the list, there are many packages to 
build. Please have patience!

If you really cannot wait, you can get 4.4.0 from the kde-redhat unstable 
repository right now, but be warned that:
* some of the packages (e.g. avogadro) may not be rebuilt there
* those packages have to be rebuilt in the official build system (Koji) for 
the official updates, and -debuginfo packages may not be compatible between 
the builds even if the versions match
* kde-redhat unstable also contains other updates (e.g. KDE 4 versions of 
KOffice and K3b, CMake 2.8) which are not being pushed as official updates 
(at least not at this time: some like KOffice will definitely only be 
available in Fedora 13, other stuff may or may not get pushed eventually) 
and which you may or may not want
* the packages have not received the amount of testing official updates 
receive (in fact, when using kde-redhat unstable, YOU are expected to help 
test things :-) )
