I might be the interested party, but I certainly don't have the skillset currently. I'd love to learn it, though, and if it helps the community then great! I;ve googled for how to maintain a package but it looks like a real pain, and KDE especially so. Is there a specific fine manual that I should be reading?

Would changing the active ~/.kde directory to ~/.kde-weekly be enough? Should I ask about this on the KDE list? What should I be reading?
