Project Neon needs little or no introduction for those who have used it in the past.For those who haven't heard of it, it provides Nightly builds of KDE. Some time ago, the project was abandoned because of maintenance issues, and now its back with a bang.Sort of, read on to find out ;) .</div>

Most of these packages have been compiled with all build dependencies satisfied with the exception of KDE Bindings which is still being packaged.Even the Qt packages have been taken from the kde-qt branch.</div>
