kde-3.80.3 in unstable

[Rex Dieter]

Thanks to the efforts of Kevin Kofler and Chitlesh Goorah, we're able to
offer kde-3.80.3 rpms for FC-6, FC-7 in the unstable repo.

With a little more work, I can probably make them build on rhel4 too.

Been trying to pull those in since your message appeared last night. Running
Smart or Yum, with unstable and unstable-all enabled, no updates appear. I
checked the repo I have configured in Smart, and I see 3.8 packages there ---
hmmmm - any ideas?

These are *new* packages, they don't update any exsiting package. They
are: kdelibs4, kdepimlibs4, kdebase4.

FYI, kdebase4 was missing, I'm adding that now.

Be very careful folks.
We are in alpha stage. Backup your personal data first.

Most definitely, "unstable" is just that, it eats babies, harms cute
kittens, and all that jazz.

That said, enjoy.

I had to leave shortly after I posted that - been out all day on location. Now
I see these warnings - well, I don't mind being a beta tester. But, I'm
unclear on what to do. Since there aren't updates, what do we do? We install
the packages, then what? Will KDE4 appear as an option in my sessions at
log-in time? Or what? If I just need to do some reading, point the way. I
have a non-mission critical machine I can test on, so that's not an issue

Stupid question...
Is it safe to say that an install of these alpha packages will not affect my
installation of KDE3?

Thanks,
Tim

hmmmm....maybe, this is one of
those "if-you-need-to-ask-you-probably-shouldn't" kind of
questions - I asked the same question several days ago, and met
with similar silence - I did poke around kde.org and found that
this is indeed very early alpha or beta or whatever, and there's
only a small number of components that work - it's not like you
could simply replace your current KDE3 installation and start
using '4', unless you're running a very small subset of KDE - at
least, that's my impression

Thanks, Rex.

One more thing... 'yum install kde*4-3.8* --enablerepo=kde-unstable*' seems to
get everyting, but it also pulls down qt4, qt4-devel and qt4-x11 (along with
some other devel packages). Sorry for being overly cautious, but I'd also
like some assurance that this install of qt4 bits won't affect me, either.

Thanks

It won't. I am not testing KDE4 but I have Qt4 installed for development and
it does not interact with KDE3.5.6.
