I too would like to see 4.3.x packages appear in Current. I'm using 13.0 32-bit.
I'm not really doing a lot with KDE 4 other than using as a basic desktop for an HTPC. As a basic desktop things should be rock steady and this is not the case. Despite this nominal use, I have found 4.2.3 buggy and cantankerous. Reading the forum here indicates I'm not the only one who has found 4.2.3 buggy.
Browsing the 4.3.x change logs motivates me to update. I realize there are some dependency changes the devs need to consider, but I'm tapping my foot waiting for packages to appear in Current.
I'm using KDE 4 with my HTPC and will continue as such. I'm not opening the old arguments here about the merits of KDE 4. I only want a less buggy version. Not to mention that a few apps have been added to 4.3, such as Kdenlive. There is another thread addressing the issue of video editing and making home-brew DVDs. Folks using KDE want a KDE tool, not a GTK tool (DeVeDe).
I realize the dev crew needs and wants a rest period. I'm just hoping 4.3.1 packages appear soon in Current.

4.2.3 is a typo for 4.2.4 right
What's stopping you from running Kdenlive with KDE 4.2.4? I'm running the latest svn releases here.
DeVeDe is nothing compared to Kdenlive. DeVeDe is a one-click-encoder. Kdenlive is a full blown NLE. There's a slew of QT based one-click-encoders and DVD Authoring applications. KMedia Factory is one that pops into my head without searching kde-apps.org or freshmeat.net.
Can't say I have any issues with KDE 4.2.4 and stability.
I just downloaded and upgraded/install new all the 4.3.1 pkgs from the above link. I did this on a test partition that is not fully up to date. Its not missing much, but so far, I have had no problems. K3b was not rebuilt in these packages, but it don't function very well anyway.
Nepomukmuk came up and indexed for less than a minute and then fell silent. I have no clue wtf akonadi is, so I don't know if it functions anyway.
I got 4.3.1 running here. I've tried download bluewhite64 kde's packages and deps, failed; tried those packages links: failed; then i download Volkerding's scripts of slackware64-13.0/source/kde and worked! Just have to change version in KDE.options script and remove all patches that Slackbuilds applies... I got bunches of warnings but im running 4.3.1 now... Any specific help PVT me...
Hi, I'm also trying currently these packages, and seems to work good, but not all features are complete, I think.
KDE wasn't able to install new icon themes, and other features from kdelook.org while using built-in dialogs.
Right after install, there was complete lack of icons on desktop, sidebars and in menus. I was able to restore those icons using Control Center, and now it's look good, but I was confused if the system is crashing, or just hang up...
