Hi everyone, The kde.tdyc.com Woody tree for kde2 has been emptied, I'm sure of it because I used to apt kde2 from there. I happened to have been reinstalling my Woody box from scratch yesterday (the 6th), starting from a couple of potato disks. All went well, but when it came to installing kde2 binaries I had to use the potato branch instead. One would expect it to be the same packages, but I doubt if everything is cleanly organized at the moment; at least the kde2 install wasn't good, it froze on startup with its dcopserver not starting. I had to revert to kde1.1.2 because I couldn't solve it.
I did also compile kde2 from source a week or two ago. You need to compile qt2.2 first. It worked but wasn't very stable; at least I could use konqueror and koffice from within kde1.1.2. Binary deb packages are of course much easier. Anyway, I hope that the kde2 debs will be added to the normal debian mirrors soon and hopefully they'll recompile them and check their cooperation with the normal Debian X scripts. Debian is the only distro, I'm afraid to say, that gave me and for some reason is continuing to give me troubles with kde. I certainly hope the most recent and fully incomprehensible RMS rants against the kde project (*after* the GPL'ing of qt was announced - see yesterday's slashdot) have nothing to do with this, otherwise I just might switch to Slackware or freebsd. If anyone knows anything more about this I'd be more than happy to hear about it. Best regards, Danny
