Strigi backport. - Alejandro Nova - 2011-03-15

I will ask the obvious. If there is a fantastic amount of bugs solved by one change, there are no new features and no string changes are needed, may you do a backport of the fix for KDE 4.6.2 or 4.6.3? This will be a major bugfix (just like <a href=https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=246678>bug 246678</a>, fixed for KDE 4.6.1) and will increase even more the NEPOMUK adoption rate. That's something needed, because 4.7.0 will surely have novelties in the NEPOMUK field.
