- kxsldbg has been carved out from tdewebdev and converted into a standalone application (TDE/tdewebdev#65, TDE/tde-i18n#67, TDE/tde#241). Since version 1.1.43, libxslt is built --without-debugger by default, so if you wish to package kxsldbg for recent distributions, you will also need to custom build libxslt. Also from version 2.14 of libxml2, some code has been removed and this will likely make kxsldbg unbuildable without further changes.
