Well, what is "old" Quanta (or "stable") should still be the 3.1.x release, as
I believe they are still providing bug fixes for it. According to Debian
weekly news, kde 3.1.5 is now in unstable.
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0401/msg01629.html
Quanta follows the kde releases for their stable version I believe, so there
may be a Quanta 3.1.5 currently or in the works. I'm hoping this effort
comes out correct the first time (also see bottom for more info on packages
you may wish to make a priority), so...to quote the developers:

Hi,
As I said today some important changes happened in the Quanta CVS. This
mainly means that a new branch for KDE (and Quanta) 3.2 was created and the
BE branch was merged to HEAD. So from now on if I refer to HEAD, it means
also BE. If I refer to 3.2, it means the 3.2 branch. A little more detailed
explanation:
HEAD branch (which you get if you cvs checkout without extra tag parameters):
1. Contains Quanta Bleeding Edge (BE)
2. Will be the upcoming Quanta 3.3
3. The version string is something like "3.3 Bleeding Edge (a date here)"
4. The executable is called "quanta_be" and installs the data and
configuration files independently of the stable release (to quanta_be and
quantaberc).
5. KDE 3.1.x compatibility should be kept until we can safely assume
everybody upgraded to KDE 3.2. This may happen around the time KDE
3.2.1/3.2.2 comes out. Developers, keep this in your mind while coding.
KDE_3_2_BRANCH (if you use the "-r KDE_3_2_BRANCH" parameter for cvs):
1. Contains Quanta 3.2 and the upcoming 3.2.x bugfix only versions
2. The executable is "quanta" just as before.
3. Must be compatible with KDE 3.1.x.
Users who want to get the greatest and latest (feature and bugwise) should
use HEAD. Users wanting to use the "stable" release should either use the
official KDE release tarballs or get it from CVS using the KDE_3_2_BRANCH.
The latter method means that you may get additional bugfixes.
quanta_be branch:
1. This is dead. Don't use it. Might be ressurrected before KDE 3.3/4.0 comes
out, but that won't be tommorrow.
Everybody please update your local copy. The simplest way is to make a copy
of your HEAD checkout and:
- - update one of the copies to KDE_3_2_BRANCH (cvs up -r KDE_3_2_BRANCH or
use Cervisia, Advanced->Update to Tag/Date->Update to branch KDE_3_2_BRANCH)
- - update the other copy simply (cvs up or File->Update in Cervisia).
Hope I was clear and everything compiles fine with HEAD.
Andras

Right. ;-) The quanta_be branch is dead.

probono,
the following links from debian weekly news may help in your decisions

The stats provide some interesting insights into what packages people use. And
don't use.
Good luck with your efforts.
bing.
