From koffice Wed Apr 19 12:14:31 2000 From: molnarc () nebsllc ! com Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2000 12:14:31 +0000 To: koffice Subject: ANNOUNCE: KDE Alpha Binaries available 2000-04-18 X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=koffice&m=95614653811969 In order to fix a problem with how I had packaged qt2 and include a few major fixes on KDE2 I am updating the binary packages. In this release I am told Konqy has been fixed as well. Also, Help Center may work. A new version of the KDE ALPHA binaries are available at nebsllc.com. Please read the README file in the same directory. Just in case you missed it "READ THE README" prior to doing anything! These binaries are built from CVS as of 18 Apr 2000 at 10:00am Eastern Standard Time (-0500). Please bring all install questions to the un-official kde-alpha list at kde-alpha-request@nebsllc.com. Qt version 2.1.0 has been released. These binaries where built with the release package. You can get it here, or you can get it elsewhere, but you will need to upgrade. DEVELOPERS: the new QTDIR is /usr/lib/qt2. When you upgrade plese consider copying your old /opt/kde2 to an /opt/kde2.old directory and then installing. This way you have something to go back to. 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 The installs have been tested by me on a Mandrake 7.0 machine. They have also been reported to work on all other distributions. The rpm's are built with Mandrake 7.0. If you are not running the most recent version of rpm, I would suggest an upgrade. 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. -- -------------------------------------------------------- Christopher Molnar Hartford, CT USA (860)956-9408 molnarc@nebsllc.com molnarc@mandrakesoft.com "It said uses Windows 95 or better, so I loaded Linux!"
