I meant to add : I'm using the backported KDE 3.1.4 for Woody debs
from kde.org, which I think of as "Ralf Nolden" debs. There are no
security fixes being made for those, I think - Ralf seems to be
elsewhere.
A while ago Mik Marchand posted here the availability of his 3.1.5
debs at ftp://ftp-fourier.ujf-grenoble.fr/debian/kde-woody/ but I just
had a look and he doesn't seem to have updated any of them recently.
I haven't upgraded to any of the 3.2.x debs (which were all done by
other people, right ?) ... there seemed to be various problems, and
I'm happy enough with 3.1.x for now. I was going to wait till the
"Andreas Mueller" 3.2.x debs appear at kde.org (and hope they don't
involve any updated gcc problems, or libqt3c102-mt, or xfree 4.3.0
...), but maybe now I'll have a go at compiling up some patched 3.1.5
.. might need some more disk space :-)
