kde repositories

[tsitras]

hi does anybody know any repositories for kde 3.5 to sarge?

I did a google search and found http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/kde-3.5.0/

I would just add that the most prevalent benefit of using Sarge is that it is an extremely stable version of Debian, and if you add an unstable repo (such as the KDE 3.5 branch), you will basically be nullifying that attribute. If you have already considered this then fine, but if it were my box I would give it a second thought.

Have you checked the man pages for apt-get?

Adding repos should not be that difficult (even I could do it when I used Debian for a few months :P). Normally you only need to give the correct path. It might be that some config files inside the repo are needed, I don't know.

To your /etc/apt/sources.list, you should add this line:

deb http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/kde-3.5.0/ ./

And then update your repositories:

apt-get update

As St. Joe said it, Debian won't be so stable after you do an upgrade to KDE 3.5. It may be worth the try though.
