Re: DDPD - the Dangerous Debian Package Dump - Was: Re: KDE PIM in sid?



Since everyone might use different version of libaries,
sharing the official debs might cause serious problems, such as broken
dependency, dist-upgrade lost its function, and ur apt package database
might also be filled with junks.

Still...using unofficial debs or compiling myself is temporary choice.
(My opinion)
