| For anyone interested, I just started an upgrade on Squeeze, and KDE is set to be upgraded to 4.4...

| Debian Sid has had KDE SC 4.4.3, and just this week, KDE SC 4.4.4 programs are filtering in. Hopefully these will make it into Debian Squeeze before long. I would love to see either KDE SC 4.4.4 or KDE SC 4.5 in Debian Squeeze, depending on how soon they actually move toward a release. |

Well, Squeeze has been testing since February of 09, so waiting a bit longer wouldn't hurt...
Course, soon as Squeeze is released, I'll probably move on to whatever will be the NEXT testing...

Well, when that happens, I'd wait maybe a month before "moving over". Testing can be as volatile or even more volatile than Sid when moving to the NEXT release.
Course, as long as the stuff is working in Sid that might not be such a bad thing. |

Cool! Did you know that KDE SC 4.5 is now at Beta 2 in the development? |

Of course, we won't see a Beta test version of KDE in Debian, unless we go out far and wide and someone offers their own repository. In Sid, you get two updates per release - if you are lucky. Testing inherits whatever passes cleanly through Sid. There is an outside, but unlikely chance that a Beta test will go through Experimental, but I've not seen one yet. The most I saw in Experimental were a few KDE package builds that were held up from going into Sid when one of the Sid to Testing transitions was taking place.
Mandriva Cooker and openSUSE are good places to find test versions of KDE, if you are ever so inclined. I test the Cooker every now and then, but I've not done openSUSE in a while. It's just too different from what I am used to and I've had too many issues with it when I have experimented with it. Certainly good stuff, just not for me. The Cooker is every bit as volatile, if not more so, but I'm more used to it, so I experiment with it maybe once a month. |
