Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kdevelop
Canonical seems to have chosen to supply kdevelop4 without any option to install kdevelop3. This seems to be a grave mistake, for at least the following reasons: 1. kdevelop3 is a released stable product; kdevelop4 is in beta 2. There is no help whatsoever available for kdevelop4 (and it's a complete re-write, so previous experience with kdevelop3 is of little assistance in figuring out how to use kdevelop4) 3. The feature comparison table at http://www.kdevelop.org/mediawiki/index.php/KDevelop_4/KDev3_KDev4_comparison_table shows that kdevelop4 is lacking a huge number of (necessary) features 4. There is not even an online tutorial for kdevelop4 (see http://www.kdevelop.org/index.html?filename=tutorials.html) So in short if one installs kdevelop4 one ends up with an environment that is different from the past, is undocumented, and missing many features. So please, please, please supply a supported version of kdevelop3. Right now, since eclipse in karmic doesn't include cdt, there seems to be no viable development environment supplied with kubuntu karmic, so I am stuck using emacs/gdb/makefiles etc. without any kind of GUI-based integration, which is a terrible drain on productivity. It feels like 1985 :-( I am strongly considering creating a VM running an earlier version of kubuntu simply to get a usable development environment back :-( ** Affects: kdevelop (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- needs-packaging kdevelop3 (because kdevelop4 is low-quality beta) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488911 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdevelop in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
