With the very very large size of KDE code, such a patch would be huge. Those yo whom such a patch would be addressed would need to know how to compile KDE from source, hence it would be expected from them to use CVS directly. With CVS, going from KDE-2.2 to KDE-2.2.1. is a simple "cvs upd -dPA" away.

In fact, sorry, it's not "cvs upd -dPA" but it's rather "cvs upd -dP -r KDE_2_2_1_RELEASE"

Hope I didn't cause you much trouble.

Going from 2.1 - 2.1.1 the KDE team released a patch (or at least it was on their ftp server) at ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/2.1.1/distribution/tar/generic/src/diffs/. And although the diffs would be large, they wouldn't be as large as downloading the full source distribution (especially going from 2.1 -2.1.1 which are bugfixes). Not everyone using KDE will have access tot the web from the UNIX machine (thanks to winmodems), so a patch would be of big help to those who like to compile from source, but may not have access to the web from their machine. I just hope that they do provide them becuase sometimes even CVS isn't always the best option, especially if you get a slow server.
