Re: Where does a guy get KDE 3.5?
On Monday 06 February 2006 9:55 am, Mehmet Fatih AKBULUT so eloquently stated: just add this line to your sources.list. # KDE 3.5 deb http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/kde-3.5.0/ ./ then #apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade ;) No matter what I run apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade, or what ever, I get a large number of packages held back due to unmet dependancies. How can I avoid this problem yet still get 3.5? I have tried the above source and deb http://deb.stosberg.net/dists/sarge/main/binary-i386/kde3.5/ ./ Rob -- Mountlake Terrace, WA, USA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Packages? Or is there a quick and dirty way to grab it from source? Rob Until Sid is manageable, I got mine direct from kde. Go to www.kde-apps.org, download Konstruct. This is in reality a set of scripts. You can build most of KDE in a couple of steps. Latest release is 3.5.1 Note that 1. Konstruct can be ticklish. Try running first with make -k. This will build everything it can and pass over problems, usually downloading. Then go back and make normally which will stop at the problem spots and you can try again, fix, etc. 2. You need to go into various subdirectories and make certian apps like kdevelop, koffice, multimedia stuff, etc. But still, very easy and effective. I put my installation in /opt and ran as sudo but to each his own. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

L.V.Gandhi spake thusly on 02/06/2006 08:06 AM: What are the major difference from kde 3.3(sarge) which necessitates switching to 3.5? That's somewhat of a jump from 3.3 to 3.5. To best answer your question, read through the following (starting from the bottom up). http://kde.org/announcements/announce-3.5.1.php http://kde.org/announcements/announce-3.5.php http://kde.org/announcements/announce-3.4.3.php http://kde.org/announcements/announce-3.4.2.php http://kde.org/announcements/announce-3.4.1.php http://kde.org/announcements/announce-3.4.php http://kde.org/announcements/announce-3.3.2.php http://kde.org/announcements/announce-3.3.1.php -- Scott www.angrykeyboarder.com © 2006 angrykeyboarder™ Elmer Fudd.

Rob Blomquist spake thusly on 02/05/2006 10:29 PM: Packages? Or is there a quick and dirty way to grab it from source? In addition to all the other answers you've gotten, you could go my route (provided your Debian installation isn't mission critical) and upgrade to Sid, which currently has KDE 3.5.1. I installed Sid a few weeks ago and all things considered things are running pretty well. A few minor inconveniences here and there, but I don't mind since I have current (or nearly current) everything. -- Scott www.angrykeyboarder.com © 2006 angrykeyboarder™ Elmer Fudd.
