It should be packaged independently of kdepim and I do not know if somebody of the Qt/KDE team is interested. Anyway, if it is packaged independently i do not think it will be ready before the freeze, specially since it will be a SVN version. > I propose to NOT use the pilot-link-0.12 provided by KPilot.

But if we do not find some way to fix kpilot to work with pilot-link 0.12 in a week or so, we will have remove kpilot from kdepim.
