I won't pretend to understand the challenges involved, but is there any chance Koffice
can be split into component apps?
I think many end-users would appreciate that but so would anybody who builds the packages.
Koffice is huge. A single failure in one component kills the entire build. Building
Koffice on my dual core requires almost two hours. I can only imagine people trying to
build on older hardware.
If the idea is doable I'll submit an enhancement request.

New subject: [trinity-devel] Building koffice
I would think that should be possible. Most distros have KOffice split into
components in their package managers, e.g. KWord and Kexia, with each
requiring KOffice Core for the base functionality provided to all KOffice
apps. They'll also normally include a meta-package that pulls in the entire
KOffice.
I have yet to build any KDE components, so I can't say for sure if this is
actually doable, but it should be, and I'd imagine that you'd start out with
KOffice Core (considering you already have all the other deps built).
