kde3 will go into sid when the gcc3.2 transiton is over/complete. KDE is very much a C++-based system and there is little point uploading it using gcc3.1 and then reuploading/compiling it in X days/weeks when the gcc3.2 transition happens. And it cannot be uploaded now as gcc3.2 becuase the ftp-masters will not allow gcc3.2 libraries in until the DD's have worked out how to best deal with gcc3.2. I think it is just a matter of being patient, or helping the developers decide how the gcc3.2 transition is going to happen, so that it can happen and kde3 can go in. I notice that people have stopped asking when X4.2 will be in sid, and when openoffice.org will be in sid... [and no, I'm not asking now, either] Paul Cupis - -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD4DBQE9gekGIzuKV+SHX/kRApG0AJ9SJBPyo/GPjxgrI3QXeyAeTrvDawCY/IAM TlDIrsuG7SL+VvNqwtJ9Rw== =nR/j -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
