Hello all,

Will there ever be a KDE3.1 version released for 8.x?

I only now can say that I've got my 8.1 system like I want it to be. In
the mean time Mandrake raced versions, which in my view is crazy .
It's becoming more and more difficult to have recent versions of
programs. I find myself more and more rebuilding packages. A lot of
packages (libs) change names between versions and taking a recent spec
file to rebuild a package yourself is often hell as you have find out
what you need from scratch and change all required package names in the
spec.

Even guys that started of with 9.0 now have to be club members to get
kde3.1. This is a sad development. I see Mandrake more and more slip
away from being a free os distributor. I understand they have
difficulties so I payed for a regular membership  myself for 2 years in
a row now. You get very little with this. But more and more the regular
users are left out. This is very sad I find. I starts to stink for $s.


So I'm afraid there's little chance to get rpms from Mandrake for 8.x.
If there's no good soul in the community who put packages available I'm
in for an ordeal to get kde3.1 compiled and packaged for 8.1.

Guy.
