My KDE 4.6.5 post from a few weeks back had a few comments about a non-working kcalc. Also, the KDE release team updated all the language tarballs for KDE 4.6.5 – after first renewing the broken ‘nl’ sources apparently the other language sources had issues too. So, I rebuilt all the KDEI packages (the language [...]

The last of the 4.6 series has arrived, and I thought it would be good to compile it for Slackware-current so that Pat Volkerding can concentrate on Slackware’s core: Please check the official announcement of the KDE Software Compilation 4.6.5 – and then proceed to download my packages for Slackware. I had hopes that version [...]

KDE Software Compilation 4.6.3. Here it is again, the monthly update to the KDE 4.6 series. Sources have been available publicly since friday, but due to Mother’s Day it took a while to upload my packages.. KDE team anounced the new release as usual. Built on Slackware 13.37, it will work fine on -current (because [...]

KDE Software Compilation 4.6.2. A second bugfix & translation update release for the KDE 4.6 series became available on April 6. Read all about it on the announcement page. And since we are nearing the release of Slackware 13.37 it will be safe to say that I have uploaded “my KDE 4.6.2 packages for Slackware [...]

Yes folks… we have a release candidate for the next stable version of Slackware. Its version mumber is going to be “13.37” as could be expected… it was too tempting not to be used, after we had “12.34567890″ for a little while during an earlier development cycle… And to accompany this event, I have also [...]

For those of you who are using my KDE 4.6.0 packages: Lately there have been some massive changes to the software in slackware-current. New versions of boost, libexiv2, perl made it necessary to re-compile several of my own KDE 4.6.0 packages. Perhaps you already noticed that Gwenview no longer worked, or you were having issues [...]

We have explosive! Targeted with deadly precision, we witness the emergence of a new major KDE release. Have fun with these KDE Software Compilation 4.6.0 packages for Slackware-current (32-bit as well as 64-bit versions available). Slackware itself will stick with the 4.5.5 version, which is rock stable and well-tested. Highlight of this version is that [...]

Here it is, the second release candidate of what will become KDE Software Compilation 4.6. Get your Slackware packages for KDE 4.6.RC2 (4.5.95 is the official version) here: http://alien.slackbook.org/ktown/4.5.95/ or on any of my mirrors (http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/4.5.95/ or http://repo.ukdw.ac.id/alien-kde/4.5.95/). These packages are not fit for Slackware 13.1. You have to be running an up-to-date Slackware-current!. Follow [...]

It’s that time again! Nicely following the KDE release schedule, a series of tarballs was uploaded to the KDE ftp server, containing the first release candidate of what will become KDE Software Compilation 4.6. The Slackware packages I created and had silently uploaded to my server, have already been noticed… but anyway, better late than [...]

Hi folks! It took a while, because I have been fighting with properly packaging the LibreOffice software for so long, and playing with slackware-current to find bugs and areas of improvement. But I finally found time to work on a set of Slackware packages for the second beta of the KDE 4.6 Software Compilation. The [...]
