KDE2 in tree or not?
Hello, I'm very confused about KDE2's stance within the Debian tree? One set of people say that it'll definitely be included in there (if so, when?), while another set insist that it won't because of the licensing issues. Can anyone provide a definite answer (with proof? A link to a web site with info on that?)? -- Bart Szyszka [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ:4982727 GigaBee Interactive http://www.gigabee.com PayPal - Securely send money to an e-mail user! https://secure.paypal.com/refer/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

The distribution is in a frozen state for some time. Nothing thats not there now won't be added in the future. Only bugs will be handled. If you are interested in the license issue, you may find something in the archieve of debian-devel. Apart from that, you can add software packages from outside the 'official' distribution on ftp.debian.org and mirrors to your tree. You add the resource to /etc/apt/sources.list and apt will do the rest For KDE on Debian look at: http://kde.tdyc.com/Debian/ -- Marc Meier [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well no, of course not. KDE2 is just on its first beta. I was more concerned about whatever Debian version we'll be on when KDE2 will be out. Have the licensing issues been resolved? Again, I keep hearing two different answers without any URLs I could look to for proof. You add the resource to /etc/apt/sources.list and apt will do the rest For KDE on Debian look at: http://kde.tdyc.com/Debian/ Right. I know about the KLPP portion that deals with Debian. The officialness (i.e. a final OK from the Debian project for KDE2) and the mirroring (the entire Debian distributions obviously has more mirrors than KLPP does) are more important to me. -- Bart Szyszka [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ:4982727 GigaBee Interactive http://www.gigabee.com PayPal - Securely send money to an e-mail user! https://secure.paypal.com/refer/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
