I may try it once (or twice?) more as kde gets closer to 4.0 - assuming it does. I did have issues with koffice not building (some portions - krita being one of them) and some of the multimedia packages, such as kaffiene. But if make -k would be able to continue from a failure and try with another app that's next on the list of things to build, that would be easier than cd'ing into a bunch of directories and finding out what will build and what will not. > The problem with alioth is there is no upgrade path.

But as 3.5.x matures, the packages should enter testing and then I can dispense with alioth, at least until the next Big Upgrade. That's how I handled 3.4.x. (mepis -> sarge originally). > Cost nothing to wait and see. Your alioth works mostly. My konstruct is 99%. Right. It's working mostly. The only major issues are printing from konqueror or other K apps doesn't seem to work - workaround is to print to a pdf and then send the pdf to the printer. It is a hassle, but it works. But then somethings like kspread won't let me select landscape mode or other properties of the printer, so I suspect a kprinter issue. Also noticed that some https: would time out or otherwise not work in konqueror, that work in mozilla (banking & investment sites etc.) Another gotcha with alioth is that it's not "officially" debian, so you can't really file a bug report, I suppose. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
