Sobre la discussió de si portar o no el KDE 3.3 a la inminent nova versió estable de Debian (serà Sarge, l'actual testing), en Cheney com sempre és un caxondo però diguin el que diguin s'ho curra bastant (i molts altres també) per a que tots poguem disfrutar d'aquest escritori a Debian.

There is no need to "hijack" KDE, I have been trying to give it away for years now. It seems no one else is insane enough to take it. :

Yep, thank me. :P Of course if they had uploaded them prior with KDE
3.2.3 they still would never have gone into sarge anyway due to most of
the buildd's being broken and/or hopelessly slow. In fact today I have
been tracking arts in mipsel queue and every hour it goes further back,
it seems mipsel has no chance of ever catching up. Its really a pity
Ryan refused the extra buildds earlier this year.

Cal dir que en Langasek té part de raó. Als upgrades de KDE a unstable hi ha una setmana transitòria en que paquets de l'antiga i la nova versió es mesclen mentres es van empaquetant (normal). És evident que deixar-ho d'aquesta manera a la distribució estable resultaria poc agraït. Afortunadament els mantenidors s'ho prenen professionalment. Jo em vaig preparant per enviar reports dels bugs de la versió 3.3 ;-)
