+<h1>The Debian KDE maintainers</h1>
+
+<h2>Descriptions policy draft</h2>
+
+<p>This is a proposal for the descriptions of the KDE packages in Debian. I
+tried to <a
+href="http://lists.kde.org/?t=110426692200003&amp;r=1&amp;w=2">contact upstream
+in kde-devel</a> for a bit of help in this issue, but (maybe because of the
+holidays) I didn't received many feedback. My suggestion is to agree on some
+common brief guidelines, and make a list of packages that lack a description,
+as <a
+href="http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-devel&amp;m=110429476924080&amp;w=2">Jesús
+Roncero suggested</a>. We can post the list in the KDE or Debian Wiki, and then
+ask in kde-quality or debian-kde, so users can help with them.</p>
+
+<h3>The problem</h3>
+<p>The descriptions actually are more or less like that (taken from
+kaudiocreator, in kdemultimedia):</p>
+
+<pre>
+Description: CD ripper and audio encoder frontend
+ KDE is a powerful Open Source graphical desktop environment
+ for Unix workstations. It combines ease of use, contemporary
+ functionality, and outstanding graphical design with the
+ technological superiority of the Unix operating system.
+ .
+ CD ripper and audio encoder frontend.
+ .
+ This package is part of the official KDE multimedia module.
+</pre>
+
+<p>This haves two problems:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>The KDE blurb is repeated again, and again, and the same for the reference
+to the respective KDE module.</li>
+<li>The <em>real</em> description is too short.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>We should solve the second as mentioned above, trying to get the
+descriptions from users or upstream developers. For the first, we can use this
+proposed solution.</p>
+
+<h3>The solution</h3>
+
+<p>Proposed description for kaudiocreator:</p>
+
+<pre>
+Description: CD ripper and audio encoder frontend for KDE
+ KAudioCreator is a tool for audio extraction (ripping) and encoding. It can
+ keep your WAV files, or convert them to Ogg/Vorbis, MP3, or FLAC. It also
+ searches CDDB to retrieve the information of the disk.
+ .
+ This package is part of KDE, as a component of the KDE multimedia module.
+ See the 'kde' and 'kdemultimedia' packages for more information.
+</pre>
+
+<p>Of course, having a better description of the application, is not part of
+the policy, is just common sense. ;-) What is important to highlight, is that
+the <q>KDE is a powerful...</q> blurb, and the <q>this package is part
+of...</q> final, are merged and simplified at the end. It's more logical to
+have the description first, because those using KDE already know what it is,
+and those who don't use it, don't care about it, and are just interested in the
+application. Summarizing:</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li>Description of the application. Always open to improvements and
+corrections.</li>
+<li><samp>This package is part of KDE, as a component of the KDE foo module. See
+the 'kde' and 'kdefoo' packages for more information.</samp></li>
+<li><samp>Homepage: http://foo.kde.org/</samp>. This probably doesn't make
+sense for some modules (like this, multimedia), but the websites of KDE-Edu,
+KDE-Accesibility, KDE-PIM, and maybe others, are interesting, and can be
+promoted.</li>
+
+<h3>Metapackages</h3>
+
+<p>The individual descriptions, rely a bit on the metapackages to describe the
+context, so we can move the <q>KDE is...</q> blurb to them. This is a proposed
+description for the packages in <samp>meta-kde</samp>:</p>
+
+<h5>kde</h5>
+<pre>
+Description: The K Desktop Environment official modules
+ KDE is a powerful Open Source graphical desktop environment
+ for Unix workstations. It combines ease of use, contemporary
+ functionality, and outstanding graphical design with the
+ technological superiority of the Unix operating system.
+ .
+ This package includes all the official modules released with KDE. This
+ includes multimedia, networking, personal information manager (PIM),
+ graphics, education, games, web development, and other artwork and
+ utilities.
+</pre>
+
+<p>Notes: instead of saying "kdeadmin, kdeartwork, ..." (which is the same as
+looking at the Depends), I prefer to say a really descriptive word.</p>
+
+<h5>kde-core</h5>
+<pre>
+Description: The K Desktop Environment core modules
+ KDE is a powerful Open Source graphical desktop environment
+ for Unix workstations. It combines ease of use, contemporary
+ functionality, and outstanding graphical design with the
+ technological superiority of the Unix operating system.
+ .
+ This package includes all the core official modules released with KDE. This
+ includes just the basic desktop (browser, file manager, text editor, control
+ center, panel, etc.) and important libraries and data.
+</pre>

+<h1>The Debian KDE maintainers</h1>
+
+<h2>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)</h2>
+
+<h4 id="1">1. I can't compile Qt/KDE applications! I get this: configure error:
+Qt not found</h4>
+
+<p>A very common problem when compiling KDE programs (or other ones which use
+Qt), is that the configure script, is unable to find where Qt is, and failing
+with a message like this:
+
+<p><samp>checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.1.0) (headers and
+libraries) not found. Please check your installation!</samp></p>
+
+<p>This problem can mean different things:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>You don't have the necessary Qt packages installed.</li>
+<li>The packages are installed, but configure is unable to find them.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>First, make sure you have (at least) libqt3-mt-dev and qt3-dev-tools. If
+configure is successful, but during compilation, the build fails because a file
+is missing (for example, qlist.h), this means this software is using obsolete
+headers. Please, report this fact to the developers of this software, and to
+complete the build, install libqt3-compat-headers.</p>
+
+<p>If configure still fails with the same error, this means is failing to
+find where Qt is installed. You can pass the exact path to the configure script
+this way:
+
+<p><kbd>--with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt3</kbd></p>
+
+<p>Since this is a bit annoying if you are compiling lots of times, you can
+set the environment variable QTDIR, pointing to /usr/share/qt3 (in bash:
+export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3).</p>
+
+
+
+<h4 id="2">2. When I remove one application, my whole KDE is deleted!</h4>
+
+<p>Make sure you understand what a metapackage is, and how are structured the
+<a href="packages.html">KDE packages</a>. If you installed all KDE, for
+example, running <kbd>apt-get install kde</kbd>, you have installed a
+metapackage, and all its dependencies (kdebase, kdenetwork, kdegraphics, etc.),
+but the metapackage itself is empty.</p>
+
+<p>If after this, you remove, for example, kfloppy, you will see that two more
+packages will be removed: kdeutils, and kde. This doesn't means that all your
+utils and all your desktop will be removed, just means that you no longer have
+your <em>complete</em> set of utils, and the whole KDE applications.</p>
+
+
+
+<h4 id="3">3. How do I install KDE?</h4>
+
+<p>If you want the desktop, and the basic applications, install kde-core, and
+x-window-system-core. If you want the complete desktop, and all applications,
+install kde instead. See the <a href="packages.html">overview of the KDE
+packages</a> for more information.</p>
+

+
+<h2>Help</h2>
+
+<p>In general, is a bit impolite to ask directly general questions to
+individuals, so please, don't do that. Instead you have two ways of
+communication: email (in mailinglists) and IRC (Internet Relay Chat).</p>
+
+<h3>For users</h3>
+
+<p>If you are an user that needs help with KDE, and your question is a
+bit (or nothing at all) related with Debian, you can ask in the <a
+href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/">debian-kde</a> mailinglist, on <a
+href="http://lists.debian.org/">http://lists.debian.org/</a>. If you have a
+specialized question, you will receive better support in the <a
+href="http://www.kde.org/mailinglists/#user">KDE mailinglists for users</a>
+(for example, developers of KMail and KAddressBook, and advanced users, read the
+kdepim-users mailinglist).</p>
+ 
+<p>If you prefer talk on IRC, you can join the <a
+href="irc://irc.debian.org/#debian-kde">#debian-kde</a> channel of the <a
+href="http://freenode.net/">Freenode</a> network.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Always</strong> before asking a question, check that it isn't
+already answered, please. Is boring and discouraging see always the same
+questions. Read the <a href="faq.html">FAQ</a>, or search in google (or yor
+preferred search engine) for your problem, especially in the <a
+href="http://lists.debian.org/search.html">list
+archives</a>.</p>
+
+<h3>For developers or contributors</h3>
+
+<p>There are four different mailinglists:</p>
+
+<dl>
+<dt><a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-qt-kde/">debian-qt-kde</a></dt>
+<dd>Where all bug reports go.</dd>
+
+<dt><a
+href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-kde-bugs-fwd">pkg-kde-
+bugs-fwd</a></dt>
+<dd>Receives the traffic sent to the bug reports forwarded upstream. When a bug
+report filled in the <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/">Debian Bug Tracking
+System</a>, and it's forwarded to <a href="http://bugs.kde.org/">KDE's
+Bugzilla</a>, this address is added, so we can track easily all new
+information.</dd>
+
+<dt><a
+href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-kde-commits">pkg-kde-
+commits</a></dt>
+<dd>Where all commits of the <a
+href="http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-kde/">group's SVN repository</a> are
+sent.</dd>
+
+<dt><a
+href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-kde-talk">pkg-kde-talk

+
+<h2>How to install KDE 3.4</h2>
+
+<p><a href="http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-3.4.php">KDE 3.4 has
+finally been announced</a>. At this moment is not available in the Debian
+official repositories, but it is uploaded to the packager's repository. The
+packages are not completely finished, but are built by the same <a
+href="people.html">people</a> who package the rest of KDE.</p>
+
+<p>To install them, add this line to your
+<code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code>:</p>
+
+<pre>
+deb http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/kde-3.4.0/ ./
+</pre>
+
+<p>You can proceed the dist-upgrade as usual. Is normal if some packages are
+removed (for example, akregator-i18n no longer exists, because it's
+translations will be with the rest of KDE in kde-i18n).</p>
+
+<p>Things you probably want to know:</p>
+
+<ol>
+<li>The version packaged is KDE 3.4.0, not the Release Candidate</li>
+
+<li>The packages will be in this repository, because uploading to unstable,
+will complicate the uploads targetted at Sarge. They can be uploaded to
+experimental too, but this repository is preferred by the packagers.</li>
+
+<li>Some packages are missing. If you don't see them, be patient, please.
+Asking the packagers about when will be ready, makes them spent time in
+explaining, not in packaging. ;-)</li>
+
+<li>One special case is kdm. It is part of kdebase, but it hasn't been uploaded,
+because the upgrade from the previous version wasn't warranteed to keep
+your configuration safe. It is fully functional, but the installation is not
+automatic. If you want to use it, you have to:
+<ul>
+<li><a
+href="http://pauillac.inria.fr/~habouzit/kdm_3.4.0-0pre1_i386.deb">Dowload
+it manually</a>.</li>
+<li>Save your kdm configuration (<code>/etc/kde3/kdm/</code>).</li>
+<li>Purge your installed kdm (<kbd>dpkg --purge kdm</kbd>).</li>
+<li>Install manually the package (<kbd>dpkg -i
+kdm_3.4.0-0pre1_i386.deb</kbd>).</li>
+<li>Now you can configure kdm using the Control Center module.</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+
+</ol>
+
+<p>For more information, see this emails:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-qt-kde/2005/03/msg00063.html">kdm is
+missing from the 3.4 packages</a></li>
+<li><a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2005/03/msg00122.html">Where do
+i get 3.4?</a></li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<p>If you have success or failure, detailed reports about it are welcomed. But
+please <storng>don't</storng> use the Bug Tracking System yet (bugs.debian.org),
+because this packages are not yet part of the official distribution. Use the
+debian-kde@lists.debian.org mailing list instead.</p>

+
+<h3>Modules &amp; metapackages</h3>
+
+<p>The KDE people, release their software to the world as a set of tarballs.
+Each tarball is a snapshot of one of the modules that compose the KDE
+structure. For example, kdegraphics, is a set of software related to graphics,
+of course.</p>
+
+<p>Debian builds each module splitting it in separate binaries, and creating an
+additional metapackage with the same name of the module. This means that you
+can install <em>only</em> Kpdf, without installing kfax, kooka, kolourpaint,
+and the rest of applications inside of kdegraphics.</p>
+
+<p>If you want to install the whole module, with all its applications, install
+the metapackage of its name (in our example, install kdegraphics).</p>
+
+<h3>Metapackages available</h3>
+
+<p>In adition to the packages mentioned above, you can install <em>all</em>
+applications that KDE provides, installing the kde metapackage. If you just
+want a minimal installation of KDE, you can install kde-core, which only
+contains kdebase, kdelibs, and arts.</p>
+
+<p>There are other metapackages for your happiness. If are going to do KDE
+development, install kde-devel. If you are bored, install kde-amusements.</p>

+<h1>The Debian KDE maintainers</h1>
+
+<h2>KDE versions in Debian</h2>
+
+<h2 id="sid">KDE in Sid (unstable)</h2>
+<p>KDE in Debian Sid, the permanent development branch, contains 3.3.2.
+Packages of KDE 3.4 are being prepared, and the main part is done, but it is
+uploaded to a semi-official repository. You have to add this line to your
+<code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code>:</p>
+
+<pre>
+deb http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/kde-3.4.0/ ./
+</pre>
+
+<p>Those packages are prepared by the same <a href="people.html">maintainers</a>
+of the packages in the Debian archive, but are not 100% complete, so maybe you
+will have to force some things to install them.</p>
+
+<h2 id="sarge">KDE in Sarge (testing)</h2>
+<p>KDE in Debian Sarge (Debian 3.1), the current testing branch, contains KDE
+3.3. It's planned that 3.3 will be the latest version uploaded to testing.</p>
+
+<h2 id="woody">KDE in Woody (stable)</h2>
+<p>KDE in Debian Woody (Debian 3.0), the current stable release, contains and
+will always contain KDE 2.2. There were in the past some backported packages of
+KDE 3, but they don't seem to be updated. Possible backports that you can find
+on the net are <strong>not supported</strong> by this team. If you are a desktop
+user that needs more recent applications, you are encouraged to upgrade to
+Debian Sarge (actually testing), because is very stable, and in a hopefully very
+short time, will become the next Debian release (3.1).</p>
+
+<h3>Notes</h3>
+
+
+<p>You can check the version of any Debian package, at <a
+href="http://packages.debian.org/">http://packages.debian.org/</a>. Have in
+mind how KDE names its <a
+href="http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/release.html">releases</a>.
+For example, in KDE X.Y.Z, the first two numbers are increased when features
+(and sometimes, applications) are added, and the third, is just a bugfix
+release. That means that between KDE X.Y.0, X.Y.1, X.Y.2, etc., you will not
+find new features or applications.</p>
