Re: What no Quanta in Squeeze!?

I'll have to stick with Lenny or change the distro if quanta isn't

Before upgrading to KDE4, I just put quanta on hold, along with the
other applications of kdewebdev:

# aptitude hold quanta kfilereplace klinkstatus kommander kxsldbg

I have Quanta Plus 3.5.9 running fine in both Squeeze and Sid now.


BTW:
I removed the 'hold' on quanta afterwards:
aptitude unhold quanta
Not sure whether it is safe to do so for the rest, as long as Quanta 4
isn't there yet.
To check what you have put on hold:
$ aptitude search ~ahold


BTW2:
Last version of Ubuntu I saw was 9.10, it still had Quanta 3 in its
repos. Once you know the trick, it's easy to install Ubuntu alongside
Debian for purposes like this, and you can keep Debian as your main
distro.
