As most of you know or have heard KDELIBS have been frozen, so I have just made available a new version of KDE2 Alpha binaries in RPM and -bin.tar.gz format. Also available are the sources that worked to compile these packages. Most likely there will not be another release of the Alpha binaries until the end of April. If I update any packages it will be the package itself and not the whole distribution. Please read the README file in the directory, this tells you most of what you need to know to install and update. These files are available via ftp from: ftp://ftp.nebsllc.com/kde2/current or via http at: http://www.nebsllc.com (follow links for kde2 Alpha binaries) You will also be able to find these at (after a few days): http://www.htw-dresden.de/~s2697 If you want to try koffice from kde 1.x without updating the rest of kde you may want to try the RPMS from David Faure (faure@kde.org) at (these were packaged for Mandrake but should work on other RPM based distros): ftp://sunsite.uio.no/pub/linux/Mandrake-devel/contrib/RPMS/ These binaries are built from CVS as of 03 April 2000 at 11:30pm Eastern Daylight Savings Time (-0500). Please bring all install questions to the un-official kde-alpha list at kde-alpha-request@nebsllc.com. The installs have been tested by me on a RedHat 6.1 and Mandrake 7.0 machine. They have also been reported to work on all other distributions. You will need to do a --force and a --nodeps on the rpm installs. If you are running prior Alpha's I highly recommend you update. There are a lot of fixes and some structural changes in the packages. You will also find Source tar.gz's in the same directory. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
