[EN] Questions about packages in experimental repo etc.
« on: 2012/03/28, 06:31:23 »
Hi all

I just realized that I didn't have some of the fun repos enabled in my sources.list.  I added exerimental, experimental-snapshots and user repos and see that these packages can be updated.

ceni digikam digikam-data gimp gimp-data gimp-plugin-registry kipi-plugins kipi-plugins-common libbabl-0.0-0 libgegl-0.0-0  libgimp2.0

While reading translations of the German section I saw that folks were using these packages, but, sometimes the translations were lacking.  Are there any problems using the experimental versions of these packages that I might have missed in translation?

Also, can the new qt desktop be install alongside the KDE desktop, and, switched between, or, are all the packages not ready yet?

Sorry if I missed reading about it, but, I also thought that there might be some who still don't realize that these newer versions are available.

Am I ok experimenting, or, are there problems that I need to watch out for?

There are no known problems (at least I dio not know any). But there might be, because the software in there has not been facing a larger testbed, that e.g. unststable offers. So it should be treated as it's named.

You can use razor-qt alongside kde or any other DE. You choose what to start with (K)DM. Razor-qt is not feature-complete but is usable.
