Hi all, finally I have put KDE 4.1 into testing. It shouldn't stay there for long. I plan to release it to [extra] this weekend. So let us test those packages a bit. At first: please only report packaging bugs. This means if a button in Konqueror has the wrong button I am probably the wrong person to ask. Those packages are unpatched, so you could file such bugs upstream. Some notes for upgraders: * This will NOT be smooth. The config files of the old KDE are not compatible with 4.1. While the old are kept in ~/.kde the new ones are in /~.kde4. They won't be converted automagically. You could try to copy some files manually and see what happens. (whould work for kmail, konqueror and other; but for some this will break things) Maybe KDE will release a tool for doing this. * If you want to use the KDE desktop make sure you have kdebase-workspace installed, which includes the kdm, the taskbar etc. * if pacman wants to replace packages: Answer YES :-) * At the time of writing not all KDE-based packages like koffice have been rebuild for use with new KDE or "legacy libs". If you cannot wait installing kdelibs3 should make them work. But this will be fixed in the repos before things are oushed to [extra] of course. * If you start KDM by inittab make sure to change path from /opt/kde to /usr * There are two file conflicts with gnome packages. Perhaps we could solve this by sharing those files with an extra package. * Don't force the upgrade ( -f); repot a bug instead * You might want to (re)move your ~/Desktop folder if you don't like that folder view * The first login takes a while; don't worry about this. It's creating new configs etc. * If you use a nvidia card, please read http://techbase.kde.org/User:Lemma/GPU-Performance * For a short overview about the new features read http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.1/ Have fun -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre@jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de
