How do I upgrade Kate editor on Redhat 9 without also updating KDE?
Hi,
At work our main production server is running Redhat 9. I've been searching for a powerful all purpose GUI editor and finally bumped into Kate.
It does everything I want it to do and more. Unfortunately, one feature (backup file before save) is only in the later versions of Kate, but from what I can gather this also requires a newer version of kdebase and other packages, which RH9 doesn't support.
I've searched high and low for a solution but just can't see anyway of getting this feature.
Does anyone know of a Kate plugin that would do this for Kate v2.1?
Or is there a rpm I could install with purely an up-to-date version of Kate and not all the rest of the KDE desktop?
Because it's a production server I can't really mess about with it at all otherwise someone would probably be very, very mad at me!
So if anyone can help I'd be very grateful.
TIA,
Denby.
