KDE 4.0 on Slackware

KDE 4.0

Finally someone took the time to build packages of KDE 4.0 for Slackware. I didn’t moan about it but deep down, I was secretly asking to get some of those sexy KDE 4.0 packages. You will have to thank rworkman for all the prep work and here is what he says in the README. I just didn’t want to build them one by one, call me lazy. ;-)

TESTING/kde-4.0.0: Added. Yeah, everybody’s been clamoring for this, so here
you are. All of this still undergoing heavy testing from several members
of the Slackware team, and Pat’s planning to push some more “official”
packages after returning from the KDE4 Release Event. In the meantime,
this should satisfy your curiosity. ;-)

Be sure to read the “_README” file in the TESTING/kde-4.0.0/ directory.
Among other things mentioned in that file, make sure you understand that
these packages can NOT be installed alongside -current’s existing qt and
kde packages. Enjoy! -rworkman

Here is the link.

Thank you rworkman!

UPDATE: packages of KDE 4.0.3 for slackware are available at http://kde4.rlworkman.net/
