KDE 4 on Kubuntu

Does anyone know if Kubuntu will release a version proper of KDE 4 in December or January? Or will it be just as easy to upgrade from 7.10 through apt-get?

Personaly, until KDE 4 shows up in the repositories, and thus, is identified as a package upgrade via Adept, I would not worry, or try, to pull it in.

ok, so you think it's best to wait until a version upgrade through adept. I think it is a little strange there is no mention of what Kubuntu plan to do though. After all it's only weeks away..

As Snowhog said, when the final KDE4 appears in the repos, that will be the best time to install it. It will come in a package with your upgrades. Normally, when something like a KDE release becomes final, it appears in the repos very quickly, usually within a day or two.

I'm really looking forward to KDE4 myself, but am quite happy to wait. You get sick of trying to fix things, after a while.

Yup, once the newest version is shown on Adept I will go for it.....

Patience is the price we pay for the increase in probability of package compatibility. When we sacrifice patience, the risk is increased that we will bork our working system. Personally, I'd rather have a working system and wait for any official upgrade, than install early and end up messing up all the work I did getting what I have, working the way I want. But hey, it's a free country (here any way), so feel free to do what you want.
