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])
- Exit KDE
- Stop KDM
- Backup your ~/.kde4 directory
- Run pacman -Sy qt
- Run pacman -Su
- Start KDM
- Report any bugs!
[kde-unstable]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Arch Linux changes:
- Removed the Sesame backend from Soprano, now we will use the Virtuoso backend and this avoids the Java dependence
- Nepomuk enabled by default
- Qt-Phonon replaced by Phonon from kdesupport
- New packages:
- kdeedu-cantor
- kdeedu-rocs
- kdegames-granatier
- kdegames-kigo
- kdegames-papeli
- kdepim-akonadiconsole
- kdepim-blogilo
- kdeplasma-addons-applets-blackboard
- kdeplasma-addons-applets-kimpanel
- kdeplasma-addons-applets-knowledgebase
- kdeplasma-addons-applets-opendesktop-activities
- kdeplasma-addons-applets-plasmaboard
- kdeplasma-addons-applets-qalculate
- kdeplasma-addons-applets-spellcheck
- kdeplasma-addons-applets-webslice
- kdeplasma-addons-runners-audioplayercontrol
- kdeplasma-addons-runners-kopete
- kdeplasma-addons-runners-mediawiki
- phonon-gstreamer
- Packages removed:
- kdelibs-experimental replaced by kdelibs
- kdeaccessibility-kttsd
- kdepim-kpilot
- kdeutils-kdessh
- kdewebdev-kxsldbg
- Fixed dependencies
Note: [19/01/2010] This repo will be unusable until KDE 4.4 RC2. DON’T USE IT.
Why those packages are being removed? In particular kdessh. Are they not enough stable for the moment?
Hi, the decision to remove they is not our, but come by upstream.
kxsldbg is now part of extragear (with quanta) and I will package they when a version will be released.
The others are unmaintained so they were moved to tags/unmaintained[1]

It seems that we’re having some troubles with phonon. Kdelibs requires phonon.
Hi, seems that we have a little bug in pacman. You need to update qt first.
Post updated, thanks.
Hi, thanks for the packages.
There’s one problem: the python-qscintilla package needs to be updated to follow the qscintilla update.
Regards.

I am sorry, but we will add no extra-packages to [kde-unstable], you should update it yourself.
