Getting the latest and +greatest of KDE (or anything), is another matter especially if you want it from +a repository. + +I searched around the interwebs for some time before stumbling upon the +http://qt-kde.debian.net/[Debian QT/KDE team site]. As it turns out, +there is actually a repo for the latest of KDE, saving all of us quite a +bit of time compiling the .deb files for an entire GUI. Thankfully, +setup and installation is a breeze (thanks apt-get). First you need to +add the repo to your sources.list file. To do this, crack open your +favorite editor (mine is vi) and edit the following file + +---- +/etc/apt/source.list +---- + +Once you're in the file, add the following lines: + +---- +deb http://qt-kde.debian.net/debian experimental-snapshots main +deb-src http://qt-kde.debian.net/debian experimental-snapshots main +---- + +Save your sources.list file and run the following commands: + +---- +aptitude install pkg-kde-archive-keyring apt-get update +---- + +Finally, we install the latest version of KDE + +---- +apt-get install kde +---- + +And that's it. Add the repo to your sources.list file, get the repo key, +update, and install. Beats the pants off of compiling it yourself, huh +(especially when you're doing it on a machine like mine)? + + +Category:KDE +Category:Debian +Category:Linux + + +// vim: set syntax=asciidoc: |
