This is what is puzzling me, if kde 3 can be compiled and works well with
GCC2.95 why haven't the debs for kde compiled with that compiler been put
into sid. Why is it necessary to wait for a GCC3.x compiler that works - why
not re-release the debs with a slightly later version number when that time
comes?
I've been reading this list for a while, but if there was an explanation
somewhere I must have missed it, sorry.
I know I can get the stuff from elsewhere, but to keep these weird lines in
/etc/apt/sources.list seems a little "unofficial".
