Options for kdepim using kde 4.7/unstable?
Hi, For my new laptop I'm tempted to go with kde 4.7 as now residing in unstable. However, the lack of kdepim therein is a show stopper for me. Do inofficial repositories exist to get kontact none the less? Are their other options?

Great work...
Just wanted to drop you all a note about how much I appreciate your work for Debian, especially as it relates to KDE. It is unfortunate that KDE on Debian seems to be overlooked by almost everyone in the GNU/Linux world, at least as far as end-users and reviewers are concerned. I've been using KDE since it was released under the GPL/LGPL and I've run it on several distros, including Red Hat (in the early days), Libranet (best distro ever) Xandros, SuSE, and Mepis. I tried Kubuntu a couple of times (quite some time ago) and PCLinuxOS, and a few others I've since forgotten. I personally preferred SuSE until the Lenny release. I've been with Debian ever since. I did not switch to the "new and improved" version of KDE until Squeeze was released (actually, while it was still "testing"). In my opinion, Debian has the best "KDE distro" out there, yet I have seen it mentioned in any discussion of the KDE desktop. Shame, really. It may not be perfect, but it's damn close. Certainly better than anything else I've ever tried. It's unfortunate you guys don't get more (any) press. Keep up the good work! It is much appreciated, by me at least.

Current kde from unstable is a bad idea for a laptop imho, because for some reason, plasma-desktop permanently pulls some % of cpu time, therefore ruining battery life. regards Dietz -- To be a bug is a dumb thing, a silly and a bump thing, but to be a bug is something, and You're not a thing at all. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

In fact, I'm currently getting about the lowest power usage I've ever had from my laptop with full KDE + compositing! Diggory

Hello, Can you be more specific (or link to a bug report or thread or ...)? I am using kdepim in unstable and I did not observe such behaviour; but I am very interested in anything that could reduce the power consumption. Thank you.
