Re: [kde-linux] latest version download

Hello Hello,

How does one gain access to the source downloads to prepare packages before
they are officially released? I've noticed several distros have 4.2.1
available now, and I cannot access the source anywhere, and frankly, I'm
jealous!

I presume that by "source" you mean the code. SVN 4.2 BRANCH is
currently reporting version number: 4.2.1.

For the latest 4.2, use SVN and download with:

svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/KDE/4.2

This changes everyday and processionally some of it won't build.

You also need:

svn co \
svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/tags/kdesupport-for-4.2/kdesupport

Note that despite the fact that: "kdesupport" is in tags that it is
updated processionally.

Some distros are shipping stuff from ExtraGear. You can look at it here:

http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/extragear/

Get Konqueror plugins (Tools) with:

svn co \
svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/extragear/base/konq-plugins

Remember that ExtraGear is in TRUNK and might not be as stable as the
4.2 BRANCH.
