To my understanding, the kde-3.5 branch is not longer developed, and there will be no new releases for it. The kde-3.5 svn branch has some bug fixes since the 3.5.10 release. They're generally not serious bug fixes, but they help with new glibc compatibility, new gcc compatibility, and stuff like that.
I started making patches, but they became large, and I don't want to maintain them. Using distro patches for branch updates, like from pld-linux, can work, but the following method works too, and doesn't depend on third-party patches. So here it is... Install automake-1.10 and autoconf-2.61 in /usr/local/kde-3.5 (or whereever you like), and then prefix that bin/ directory to $PATH. These are the autotool versions used by kde-3.5. Then: svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/arts/1.5/arts svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/KDE/3.5/ Make tarballs of these directories, with 'tar cf', so you have a clean archive for future svn updates. Run: make -f admin/Makefile.common cvs in each directory before running ./configure. This acts like 'autoreconf'. Once in a blue moon unpack your kde tarballs, and run 'svn up' to check for new fixes. Reinstall as needed. If only everything was this easy :-\ robert
