Thanks for the backports
by Debian User on Saturday 09/Feb/2008, @05:48

Hello,

I'd like to thank those distributions who back port the KDE 4.1 changes most missed from 4.0 already, specifically Riddel and Kubuntu.

Yours,
Kay

Just updated mine kubuntu, didn't knew they had backported :D

Just a few things, like multiple lines in taskbar and more buttons in the plasmoids (actually I thing they should only show those when user click in the plasmoid, not just passing the mouse over).
If resizing the panel is possible, I didn't found how.

There are yet plenty of bugs, most annoyings to be is double-click not working in desktop icons and system tray not always showing icon app (sometimes it just.. don't). I would recomend waiting for 4.0.3 or 4.1.

My most annoying missing feature: bluetooth support missing in Dolphin :)

You saying that kubuntu's kde4 packages contain or will soon contain backports, especially the resizable panel?

That'd be awesome!

Ah, you've to install plasma-playground for the resizable panel?

Doesn't work at the moment, because some dependency on my system is broken, but nonetheless i like the backporting thing.

Meh, seems not my system to be broken, but the current kubuntu... it says:

dpkg: error with /var/cache/.../plasma-playground...deb (--unpack)

trying to overwrite /usr/lib/kde4/lib/kde4/plasma_applet_battery.so, wich is also in paket libplasma1

dpkg-deb: subprocess killed with signal broken pipe

I hope, JRiddell can work it out...

OpenSUSE have also done a number of backports for their packages ... nice to see.

today in our plasma meeting we discussed getting these backports actually into the 4.x branch. looks like we (plasma team) will be doing a set of backports for 4.0.2 and another for 4.0.3

The openSuse team is doing an excellent job.
Also big thanks to you and the rest of the KDE team for working so fast to get more and more features added + bugfixes so rapidly :)
