As explained by some guys before, we do not want to have both KDE3 and 4 in repository. This has been a big pain to make them live together for some months (even if it looks "easy") and it has been a pain to clean repository. Now one solution is to propose a repository dedicated to it on your side. -- Anne http://www.mageia.org
