They released it, we packaged it!
Yesterday KDE developers tagged the 2nd Release Candidate and today we released the Arch Linux packages into [kde-unstable]…nearly there, 4.4.0 will be out soon!
The x86_64 packages are already on [kde-unstable] whereas I am still uploading i686 packages, they will be in the mirrors tonight. ;)
The packages are built with libpng 1.4.0 and libjpeg 8, so you can update easy without any problems.
As ever, please report any bugs. Thanks!

It’s more simple and fast then you think:
- Open System Settings -> Default Applications -> Email Client
- Check “Use a different email client“
- type the following: /usr/bin/rekonq https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1&tf=1&to=%t&su=%s&%u
Where instead of /usr/bin/rekonq, you must type the path to your favorite browser. %t is the destinatary, %s is the subject and %u is the full mailto URL (needed if you want to add the body too).
Kheers!

Ok, here we are. The first official KDE 4.4 packages for Arch Linux are ready. We will move the package to [extra] only when the 4.4 stable will be released. So, if you want to try the new KDE you need to enable the [kde-unstable] repository. Run the update with this steps:
- Add [kde-unstable] to pacman.conf (up [testing])
[kde-unstable]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
- Exit KDE
- Stop KDM
- Backup your ~/.kde4 directory
- Run pacman -Sy qt
- Run pacman -Su
- Start KDM
- Report any bugs!

- Removed the Sesame backend from Soprano, now we will use the Virtuoso backend and this avoids the Java dependence
