+Hi,

+
+The issues we see that are blocking are :
+
+we can't/won't package/add  twice the same apps, one for TDE and one
+for KDE and this issue is a blocker one.
+
+I would prefer to see TDE in a external repository for now. ( i.e you
+work locally to reenable qt3, package TDE, ... and then we can start
+to review all this and talk about integration in mageia )
+
+This will mess with menus too because users will have 2 times the
+icons of K3b, and can lead to deps issues, files conflicts, how is
+called K3b binary files ? k3b ? so it will conflict with "normal" k3b
+and so on for the other apps.
+
+For Robert Xu on opensuse this is a completly != issue as repos are
+"seperated", but that would be nice to have a 3rd "external" repo for
+this :)
