There are, to the best of my knowledge, no real packages for a recent KDE for Solaris. There are absolutely *ancient* packages (KDE 3.4.3 compiled without anti-aliased font support to add insult to injury), and there is "talk" about up-to-date packages on Blastwave and what not - but there are, to the limit of my googling abilities, no actual packages out there. Some OpenSolaris folks told me that I should run my SRSS on OpenSolaris to get KDE - but when asked "does OpenSolaris have recent KDE packages" the answer was, yet again, no. Sigh... As a long time KDE user (meaning, I've gotten used to the pretty and responsive consistent-looking fully featured desktop environment that I cannot get in Windows or GNOME), I'm really left wondering; how can Sun ship SunRay server software (software that drives *desktops*) without the K *desktop* environment? I had to spend a weekend compiling before my desktops had a (proper) desktop environment - because I was on the recommended OS (Solaris 10). That's ironic. Oh well, that's my 0.02 Euro on the issue. I'd like to provide KDE packages, but I won't have time to package it the next few weeks at least. And, that said, I really feel that someone other than me should be doing it - the OS provider for example - hint hint ;) -- / jakob _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
