Sooner or laaaaater sarge will freeze and new pkgs or updated pkgs,
even if one finds an sponsor, will not be able to enter sarge.

I hope that kalyxo will be 'the' repository to pick up new and
updated kde pkgs for sarge, as well as sid pkgs that did not
make it yet into sid.

What's the procedure to be able to upload KDE pkgs?  I would like
to upload at least kisdnwatch and maybe kimdaba.  kdebluetooth
is another candidate but I have to coordinate with upstream first.

As a start I would suggest to create

	deb http://???.kalyxo.org/debian {experimental,sid} kalyxo

I left out sarge here because currently one can use KDE 3.2.1 from
sid without problems in sarge.  In case 3.2.?
will not make it sarge we should contact Ralf about his backporting
plans and populate sarge on kalyxo.org as fast as possible ;)

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
