As you might know, debian is warming up to relase its next version: sarge. as the testing branch is what will become sarge, then it is in a state of flux at present. on one hand, the debian higher-ups would prefer it if the kde matainers did not upgrade kde futher in sarge. this would lessen pressure on the bbluids and mean that they could finsh sarge and get it out the door on the other hand, the debian kde people would want sarge to release with the latest version of kde, if not 3.2 at least 3.1.5. this would fix lots of bugs. Also as long as people keep breaking the kde packages in sarge by upgrading libs and the toolchain, then the debian kde people will be upgrading and fixing the packages anyway, and does it matter that they are now the latest version?
in conclusion, we have no idea when 3.1.5 is going to move to testing, but it will probably be a week or two. the packages in experamental are iffy at present, they suffer from a lot of packaging bugs. then again, people have got them to work. it is your machine and I can not tell you what to do with it, so make up your own mind. best of luck pete -- Peter Nuttall [EMAIL PROTECTED]
