Kubuntu Packages for KDE 4.1 Beta 1
by Jiang on Jun.05, 2008, under Computing
The much-anticipated Kubuntu packages for KDE 4.1 Beta 1 are now officially available!
The packages have been under testing since Saturday, and nixternal has been busy applying fixes; they should be quite polished by now. The KDE 4 PIM packages (Kontact, KMail, KOrganizer, Akregator, etc…) are included in this release, in the kdepim-kde4 package. Meanwhile, the extragear packages are right on schedule and should be ready in a couple of days.
In a nutshell, the Launchpad PPA repository containing all the goodies is
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu hardy main
… and a dist-upgrade would get you the new packages if you already have KDE 4.0 installed, after adding the repository and updating.
Please read the aforementioned blog post for more information and additional comments. Don’t forget to backup your ~/.kde4 directory, and report bugs!
