Once You'd need to compile Qt with GCC 3.2 too. C++ code compiled with it is just not compatible with GCC 2.95 compiled C++ (C has no such problem). -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever." pgp4wm4dKCkGd.pgp Description: PGP signature

Surely, I will lose history, but I am using a modem here, so I am trying to reduce bandwidth usage as much as possible. If you want to mirror the contents of a CVS repository I believe the recommended approach is to mirror the repository itself rather than playing around with the checked out sources. The initial setup cost of doing this is high (a complete copy of the repository) but once you've done that the incremental updates can be done with rsync which is relatively bandwidth light. I know some projects do let you rsync their repositories but I don't know about KDE. If you can't do that then otherwise what you'll be doing is pretty maintaining a vendor branch in your CVS repository. -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever"

KMail is simply using some identifying information from the key when prompting you. If you wish to have recipients be able to distinguish between UIDs in the signature of the message then you need to generate a different key for each UID. -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever." pgpNRjfFMqMMV.pgp Description: PGP signature

Not to mention the fact that one of the major reasons apt and dpkg get to rock so hard is that they have a nice, consistent set of packages to work with. -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever." pgpYKMVEgvk1e.pgp Description: PGP signature

Deciding to use it for KDE would, however, result in large numbers of admins becoming more than a little grumpy with you as they notice that you have decided to dump all of KDE onto their root filesystem. -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever." pgpC3Y8t6xYqu.pgp Description: PGP signature

If you point at two repositories one of which is not a Debian mirror you might get into trouble but otherwise nothing bad will happen (except for a bit of wasted bandwidth downloading two copies of the Packages files). -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever." pgp28s5dmDJIs.pgp Description: PGP signature

Thnx in advance Not on-disk unless you wish to write code for it[1]. I know a couple of people with a similar requirement solve the problem by storing the mail on an IMAP server and pointing the various mail clients at that. Unfortnately, this does require multiple machines and non-trivial setup unless your ISP provides an IMAP server. [1] As well as having KMail understand Outlook folders it would be possible to write a MAPI back end that could understand a Unix mail spool - perhaps easier. -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever." pgpti8D87wchx.pgp Description: PGP signature
