KDE 4.14.3 now also for Slackware 14.1

I updated my ktown repository today with KDE 4.14.3 packages for Slackware 14.1. Yes thats right, 14.1. I had promised in my previous post that I would come up with these packages after Slackware-current had been officially upgraded to KDE 4.14.3 but I was sitting on these packages and thought, what the heck. So here you have them.

The set has been spiced up with the latest Long Term Support (LTS) sources that I took from KDE Applications 14.12.3, specifically the newest versions of kde-workspace, kdelibs and kdepim. Essentially, I have used the exact same sources from which I built my KDE 4.14.3 packages for Slackware-current before.

Note that there are new packages, upgraded packages and to-be-removed packages here. Some people forget to install the new packages (in particular the new dependencies) and end up with a broken system. As usual, the README file which accompanies this release contains the detailed installation and upgrade instructions. Read these instructions carefully and your upgrade on Slackware 14.1 from either the stock KDE 4.10.5 or my own 4.13.3 will be easy and painless.

My previous article on KDE 4.14.3 plus LTS (at that time, targeting slackware-current) contains more information that you might want to read.

These are the servers that are guaranteed to have the packages right now (in 24 hours the other mirrors will likely have synced as well):
http://alien.slackbook.org/ktown/14.1/latest/ (the master repository), rsync URI: rsync://alien.slackbook.org/alien/ktown/14.1/latest/
http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/al...e/14.1/latest/ (my fast US mirror), rsync URI: rsync://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/14.1/latest/

Have fun! Eric

Follow the instructions and you shouldn't have any problems.

LinuxQuestions should add the possibility to find an initial post in a thread helpful.

Thanks. I just discovered a new forum functionality.

Installed on Salix 14.1 just now, it works but I couldn't fix phonon-gstreamer.
I have tried removing all of gst* and installing gstreamer1-1.4.4 + plugins from deps, but no go.
Systemsettings doesn't recognize hw audio device, exaile doesn't play, etc.
gstreamer1-1.2.2-i486-1gv + plugins work normally with phonon-gstreamer-4.6.3 + phonon-4.8.2 (but crash on phonon-gstreamer-4.8.0)
So if anyone tries this on Salix I would recommend keeping phonon-gstreamer-4.6.3 for now.
Rest of the packages I have tried work fine, from what I've tested so far. Thanks for 14.1 update.

There's a button at the bottom of the left column to the right of the OS and Online/Offline status that looks like a weight and balance machine (this is the icon -- I have to link it since the img tag isn't supported at LQ) that allows you to add to that poster's reputation.
