Re: KDE 2.2 Release Schedule Update

If you feel so strongly that KDE needs more testing, why don't you start building the sources from CVS every few days, and submit some quality bug reports? Better still, seeing as you are a developer, why not debug some of the problems yourself, and submit some quality, well tested patches?

Or if you really don't like the direction KDE development is taking, why not produce your own fork of the KDE 1.1.2 sources, and add the features that you do think are worthwhile? I'm sure no one would be offended, and you would probably attract a number of other developers who feel the same way as you - after all, if you look at apps.kde.com you will see many projects that continue to release new versions based on the 1.1.2 libraries.

Re: KDE 2.2 Release Schedule Update

Actually, several people have visited my home page for my new DE, based on a new toolkit, which will be similar to KDE 1.1.2, so the stability will be apparent. If you know anyone who would like to code this, have them send me some mail. As for building from CVS, and bug reports/patches, I am too busy to do that, and my computer isn't even on the internet, I am doing everything through CD's and floppys with multi-volume archives. And, what I've noticed is that it isn't KDE that's really the major issue, it's just really too slow, it's really kdevelop running in KDE, which refuses to place itself correctly on startup, and some other problems that I won't mention, since this isn't a kdevelop forum.

As a little history, KDE 2.1 Beta was probably more stable for me, just slightly, though. Maybe the problem is in my compiler....does anyone have any problems using KDE compiled with gcc 2.95.3?

Enough of this, I think I've learned my lesson...don't post messages that sound like flames...if you want it done right, do it yourself...blah, blah, blah...and use IceWM with kdesktop for speed, power, and memory considerations....
