Hello, I managed to install the kde 4.8.3 packages from experimental-snapshot on a debian wheezy system.
aptitude -t experimental-snapshots dist-upgrade didn't work for me (it would uninstall kde-workspace and some libplasma-xyz). So I used synaptic, sorted the package list by new version, selected all kde- related 4.8.x packages and tried to apply the selection. No success because of an unmet dependency on libpng15. I downloaded that package from the experimental repo and installed it manually by dpkg -i libpng15 ... (cannot remember the exact package name). After that back in synaptic there still was a complaint about a dependency on klipper 4.8.3. So I first installed that package and then selected the rest of the 4.8.3 packages. And voila, all packages have been downloaded and installed. As far as I can tell, every thing seems to work (I tested kmail 4.4.11.1 from testing with 2 imap accounts one connected via davmail to an exchange server, activities, desktop effects, gwenview with kipi-plugins and the opengl- diashow). Very impressive is the look and feel of the new display engine in dolphin when you are in symbol view and zoom the symbol size by pressing ctrl - + or ctrl - -. It looks like MAC OS ;-) All together the desktop feels more smoothly (look at the "show windows" effect. Thanks to the package maintainers for their work. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
