Some stuff I want to reminder for next year’s FOSDEM: Carry a power bar with at least 3 outlets. Power plugs are a limited resource. With a power bar at FOSDEM you always will be able to get power for your laptop/gadgets and make new friends. All at the same time! Make a backup schedule, [...]
About a week ago I updated the KDE 4.1 backports for Lenny with the fourth and last revision of KDE 4.1. As previously announced, this will be the last update available at http://kde4.debian.net What is next? The repository will continue there, so Lenny users can choose between KDE 3.5.9+ and KDE 4.1.4. But since 4.1.4 [...]

David Palacio has made a live CD with the current snapshot packaging of KDE 4.2. The distribution is being made only using the BitTorrent protocol, using the tracker services of LinuxTracker. And do not worry, it is being well seeded! More information about this live CD Torrent page at LinuxTracker Live CD configuration files at [...]
Good news for those wanting to test KDE 4.2. Finally, we have decided to do a little experiment and provide snapshot packages of current KDE trunk (future KDE 4.2). First of all, I would like to say that even if I am the one blogging, the most part of the job was done by Modestas [...]

Past As in every (free software) project, Debian has problems. Specially, there were 2 big problems: A: We are not good acknowledging, accepting and integrating new members in a good way. B: We have some people accumulating too much power. Present In case this was not enough, the people creating the problem B) decided to [...]
It was complicated getting this done, but finally backports for 4.1.2 are available at kde4.debian.net. Thanks to the help of Aleix Pol and his Mac Mini, there are available packages for PowerPC now. As well, I have uploaded a backport of Qt 4.4.3 (*), for AMD64, i386 and PowerPC. If you are using KDE 4.1.x, [...]
I have just finished uploading the Lenny backports for KDE 4.1.1 to http://kde4.debian.net/. I have improved slightly the website and added some information as well. If you followed the instructions in the website and you are already using the KDE 4.1.0 backports, you only have to update your system and you will get automagically the [...]
Now Lenny has been frozen for some time and the necessary packages have migrated to Lenny (that remember is still testing); I have finally made the backports of KDE 4.1.0. You can find the repository and the instructions at: http://kde4.debian.net/ And remember, KDE 4.1 is pretty good but it still has some issues that are [...]
