The problem was that not only they were moved now, but they were moved back in the day from kde-base when kde-workspace was created. It seems like something possible to solve but it didn't look like something that would pay off, so I decided to graft those. If somebody has great problems, I'd suggest to use the occasion and suggest a sane solution before we all start working on it, otherwise I think that grafts are a good solution (you can use the time I'm sending this e-mail as a proof we tried otherwise). Other than that, the rest of repositories have been pushed with full history (AFAIK) and it seems to work well. If there's any left-over issue, there will "always" be the kde-workspace repository for reference. I just pushed as well changes in the dependency-data-kf5-qt5 file so that when one tries to compile "plasma-desktop" gets the correct dependencies; note that you shouldn't be building kde-workspace anymore. It worked on my system, I hope it will work on most systems. I hope this doesn't distort your workflow too much and that we can soon start to take advantage of the new, leaner, organization of the project. Good night! Aleix
