Hi everyone, we're about to stabilize KDEPIM-4.7 for the first time (last stable KDEPIM suite is 4.4.11.1). Below is a news item for that, which I'd like to get out in 48hours as long as there are no major problems.
The news item can also be found (in possibly updated form) at http://dev.gentoo.org/~dilfridge/2011-12-06-kde473-kdepim.en.txt Please send your feedback and improvements! @KDE: please also help me doublecheck if the "Display-If-Installed: <kde- base/akonadi-4.5" is correct (basically I want to display the news item only if someone has kdepim-4.4 installed). --- Title: Stabilization of KDE 4.7.3 including KDEPIM Author: Andreas K. Huettel <dilfri...@gentoo.org> Content-Type: text/plain Posted: 2011-12-06 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 1.0 Display-If-Installed: <kde-base/akonadi-4.5 We are pleased to announce the upcoming stabilization of KDE 4.7.3. In general the upgrade of KDE from 4.6.5 to 4.7.2 should be unproblematic. However, if you are using the KDEPIM application suite (i.e., akregator, blogilo, kmail, knode, kontact, korganizer, and others) where the stable version so far was 4.4.11.1, please be aware of the following: The stable upgrade from KDEPIM 4.4.11.1 to KDEPIM 4.7.2 is a MAJOR upgrade with potential for major breakage. Therefore we will *try* to keep and support the old, so-far stable KDEPIM 4.4.11.1 as long as possible. If you *dont* want to upgrade your KDEPIM yet but keep the old version, please download the following file and add it into your /etc/portage/package.mask: http://dev.gentoo.org/~dilfridge/kdepim-4.7-mask If you decide to upgrade, please have a look at the upgrade guide first: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/KDEPIM-4.7_upgrade -- Andreas K.
