Hi,

Another heads-up :

- I created a default +virtuoso variant for Soprano, which as far as I can see is required *only* if you actually want to use nepomuk other than to resolve certain dependencies. IOW, I added a patch for nepomuk-core that removes the hard dependency on Soprano's virtuoso backend, knowing that it is in fact a runtime dependency of the server.
NB: I've been running KDE4 applications with port:virtuoso disabled for over 2 years, without ever any issues.

- I ran into a side-effect of installing KDE4 cmake modules into ${prefix}/lib/cmake/KDE4 : certain ports (like grantlee and mobipocket) use the location of the cmake modules to figure out the install prefix by stripping a fixed number of components off the install location of those files. IOW, they expect to be installed as ${prefix}/lib/cmake/Foo/*.cmake .  For grantlee I fixed this by moving the whole module directory back into ${prefix}/lib/cmake (the is no name conflict with the Qt5 version; lib/cmake/grantlee vs. lib/cmake/Grantlee5). For mobipocket, I added a patch for the .cmake file so that it works from its new location.

The second point is something to monitor; I'm sure there must be a better/cleaner/more official way to obtain the actual install path (apart from us patching the files so they hardcode the location).

Cheers,
R.
