Let's create a kde-repo on top of our testing repo and

OK, this was quite some work. I have moved the repo to other/kde-testing. This
way it should be found on some mirrors soon.
It's meant to be used in the follwoing order in pacman.conf:
kde-testing
testing
core
extra
community
Be warned: this will replace the existing KDE-3 packages by their equivalents
of KDE-4.1. By installing kdelibs3 packages that depend on the old KDE
"should" still work. (After KDE-4.1 is released to extra we "just" have to
update the dependencies of the remaining KDE-3 packages; a rebuilt "should"
not be needed)
In order to not mess up things I have setup a separate git-repo containing all
used PKGBUILDs:
web: http://git.archlinux.de/cgit.cgi?url=kde-testing/
git: http://git.archlinux.de/~pierre/kde-testing.git
Feel free to report any suggestions etc.. (by this I mean packaging bugs of
course)
If there is any dev who wants to help building this stuff for i686, please let
me know.
Happy bug-hunting,
Pierre
I went to try out the i686 packages but there are file conflicts:
error: could not prepare transaction
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
