Hi forum,

As title, will there be KDE 4.8.4 or even KDE 4.9 updates or backports for oneiric?

Oneiric is stabler in my laptop but I'd like to upgrade my KDE to newer version.


Thanks,
Franklin

I wouldn't bet it will be in for Precise

Doubt it will backported to Oneiric, as it seems require new Soprano version

Earlier with the KDE 4.8.3: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/05/05...ntu-devel.html

Ezim ScottK, mean if I wanted 4.8.3 for my 11.10. will ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports not get it? [17:55]
ScottK We don't package that. [17:56]
ScottK We'll do 4.8.3 for 12.04 and quantal. [17:56]
Ezim ScottK, weird becuase 4.8.2 was there. [17:56]
ScottK That was before 12.04 was released. [17:57]
Ezim so I will not get 4.8.3. going to cry. [17:57]
Ezim :P [17:57]
ScottK The way to get it is upgrade to 12.04. [17:57]

... so if the kubuntu-developers have not reproduced themselves, the Kubuntu 11.10 will get bug fixes and security patches for the KDE 4.7.4.
