Are there any plans for KDE 3.5.8 packages for FC6?

Thanks,

Now that kde-3.5.8 looks mostly sane, built for F-8/rawhide, we can get
to work on building for other releases.

Than told us in yesterday's KDE SIG meeting that he'd get to work on
that next week, so hopefully soon after that, you'll see kde-3.5.8 show
up in fedora-updates.

In the meantime, I'll soon be getting started on F-7 builds for
updates-testing (then EL-4, EL-5 hosted @ kde-redhat)

Guess FC6 is now unsupported WRT KDE and KDE apps. No update to KDE 3.5.8 and
Amarok doesn't get updated anymore. Looks like I'll have to migrate to F8
when it's released. Either that, or start building KDE myself :/

That's the opposite of what was said. Than said kde-3.5.8 update will
be made for F6.

Can't speak for amarok or any other apps.

Highly recommeneded. It's looking *real* good (I'm biased of course).

But it's not opposite of what's been /done/.

The problem is that the upgrade path, I'm afraid, will be non-trivial. I
imagine a lot has changed to Fedora since FC6.

You -should- consider upgrading either way.
AFAIR FC6 will EOL in Jan/08.

As for upgrade or not, how much customization have you done? I usually
just install the new Fedora from scratch on a different partition; use
yum to install a predefined list of applications (that was taken from
the previous version), mount the home/data/vmware/games/etc partitions,
copy 20-30 cfg files and I'm done.
3 hours - tops. (including reboots...)
