KDE, Solaris and the Solaris Companion CD

Hi.

Well, the cat is out of the bag, so i might as well own up
to it: i
very recently started working for Sun Microsystems. I am
very happy
about that, since I can now focus on doing what I love
doing, which is
software and systems.

I will be working on Solaris' F/OSS software packages, for
both the
SFW and the Companion CD consolidations, and not only on
KDE, but also
on KDE's dependencies and required libraries. This means
many other
libraries and packages, many of which are shared with
JDS/GNOME.

This means that, KDE 3.5.5 will be on the Solaris Companion
CD, along
with its dependencies and requirements. It also means that,
in a
definite and foreseeable future, you will no longer have to
deal with
the hideous packaging of /opt/fsw4sun.  And KDE
e.V will no longer
have to host that thing on their servers' hard drives.

So, KDE Solaris is alive and well, and now even at Sun!

Congrats Stefan! This is very good news and certainly this
is due to all your 
hard work throughout all the years. Certainly KDE servers
will always be 
available for packages, no problem with that.

Cheers,

For someone who has let their KDE desktop go badly out of
date,
can someone point me to a current download mirror for
Stefan's latest
versions on Solaris 10.

I'm going to assume 3.4.3 is the last version, which
explains why I was 
having
troubles finding the right mirror.  Unless there is a newer
version, 
never mind.

yeah, that's the latest one (unfortunately).

*sigh*.

i'm working on 3.5.5+. don't expect it to be on the
Companion CD 
anytime soon, it will still be here, like all the others
before it.

and that's all i'm going to say.
