KDE 4.1.3 and Hardy Heron

[Guest]

Hello!

I haven't found KDE 4.1.3 packages for Hardy. Do you know if they will be available for Hardy?

Thanks.

Re: KDE 4.1.3 and Hardy Heron

I second this. I would like to know if they will be in the backports. I have this repository enabled and the appropriate checkboxes checked:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu hardy main

will it be updated or do I need to look somewhere else?

I to am eagerly awaiting a reply to this post! I absolutely love 4.1.2, and would like to give 4.1.3 a try without giving up the LTS in Hardy.

Quick question: will there be an official 4.1.3 update for Hardy?

Not from the team, if someone else feels like preparing it though... ;-)

Re: KDE 4.1.3 and Hardy Heron

Am I correct in saying:
1) It would be dangerous to enable the 8.10 backport repository for KDE4 within 8.04.

2) The only way we'll get further updates to KDE4 is to upgrade distr. to 8.10

Well, nuts! That's really too bad. I really like having KDE3 and KDE4 side-by-side in my Hardy environment. It lets me play with KDE4 at my leisure without losing the reliable KDE3 environment. What I really like is that I can use KDE4 apps in KDE3 (like Gwenview and Dolphin -- Dolphin for KDE4 is awesome!).

Sorry to hear this, guys. Really kind of disappointing.

I found how to install kde 4.2 beta in Hardy, not 4.1.3:

Interesting . . . are the programs and settings in different folders, though? As in, does it use a .kde4 folder and place the libraries and programs in other places, or will it overwrite KDE3? Personally it's useless to me if it overwrites everything, since certainly 4.1.3 isn't nearly stable and featured enough for me to use on my main yet and, though I'm curious to see how much better 4.2 is getting and I'd love to update some of my KDE4 apps that I use, I really can't do without the KDE3 base environment.
