So, you will need to use SVN. This is really almost as simple as using a command line FTP client. Just execute: svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/tags/kdesupport-for-4.4 where you want it downloaded. If you only want "automoc" you can check out only that piece. svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/tags/kdesupport-for-4.4/automoc There is some question as to whether the TAG has the correct version of: "PolKit-Qt-1". So, you might want to get the newer version from TRUNK: svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/kdesupport/polkit-qt-1 To further confuse things, The TAG version does not have the: "ontologies" which are available here: svn co https://oscaf.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/oscaf/trunk/ontologies And, the TRUNK version does not contain: "Phonon" anymore but you can still get it by first checking it out and then: cd <what-ever-path>/phonon svn up -r1092912 There have been problems with KDEBindings not building against newer versions of Phonon so that is the latest version which I recommend. -- James Tyrer Linux (mostly) From Scratch -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
