The KNotificationItem lib is now in kdelibs/experimental/. This builds automatically if you grab kdelibs from svn, and will be packaged separately from kdelibs for release (so there will be a kdelibs and a kdelibs-experimental package). It also means there's no need to grab extragear/libs or anything else; just svn up kdelibs and build. This should be the best of all worlds and give people tracking KDE from svn and application developers (hi KDE PIM-stars!) fewer heart attacks. ;)
This was my original suggestion (or was it kdelibs/kdeui/experimental?) but was turned down on kde-core-devel. So I followed consensus, and then it turned out that the consensus solution had problems. We went back to the drawing board and found a new consensus position. Hopefully we have something that will work for everyone now. Just goes to show that sometimes it takes a couple attempts to get a new process down right.
Thanks to everyone who was involved in the process for keeping their heads and the discussions on track. I'll be updating the Techbase page later today or tomorrow (depending on how my appointment this evening goes) to reflect the extended and updated understanding on how to trial new API that is hoping to be destined for kdelibs proper.
Love 'n hugs ...
