Thanks for the great work. Had kde 4.8 installed and running since
just before this announcement (updated from 4.7.9x) and all is working
great with no problems to report so far.

We do however seem to be missing a couple of bits i was hoping to try out:
 * ksecretsservice (an alternative and eventual successor to kwallet
that is desktop agnostic). I haven't looked properly at this but i am
guessing it requires a new package.
 * kde-telepathy 0.3 was released together with kde 4.8. 0.1 as
currently packaged isn't a substitute for kopete for me but 0.3 is
sounding much better. Unfortunately they seem to have done a bit of
refactoring and renaming upstream so it might be more complicated than
a simple bump of each component.

If any help is required with regards to packaging and/or reviewing any
of the above i have some quiet time next week...

Thanks again to all involved for bringing fast efficient updates.
