Hi, thanks for your feedback in this thread. To summarize, the consensus seems to be to continue to keep the official source release and contributed binary packages separate.
The wiki page listing binaries should become more prominent, however. I've tried to make some progress in that direction. Unfortunately the download link on https://sourceforge.net/projects/rkward/ cannot be redirected, but I'm trying to make all other links point to this page in the wiki: http://apps.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/rkward/index.php?title=Download_RKWard If you have further ideas on making this really easy to find, let me know. The launchpad for ubuntu idea suggested by Prasenjit sounds good to me. I think it probably makes sense to use distribution-specific mechanisms like this as well, as long as the Binaries and Build Scripts page has the relevant and up-to-date instructions to find there. For the coming releases 0.4.9b and 0.5.0d, I'd like to pick up the suggestion of a "call for packaging". Here it is. As mentioned in the announcement of the -rc1 packages, I expect to release these as the official packages on Sunday or Monday, unchanged. If you want to have binaries ready in time with the "official" release, you can start creating your packages right now. For 0.5.0d there is a .tar.gz at http://rkward.sourceforge.net/temp/0.5.0d-rc1/ . This is exactly the same as 0.5.0d-rc1, except the version string is "0.5.0d", and the ChangeLog shows May-10-2009 as the release date. The analog for KDE 3 is at http://rkward.sourceforge.net/temp/0.4.9b-rc1/ . Please keep in mind that this *might* not become the official version after all. Hence, please don't put such packages out in the wild before Sunday, and be prepared to re-package, should further corrections be needed before our official release. Regards Thomas
