[PyKDE] PyKDE Delays, Versions, etc.

[Jim Bublitz]

Phil mentioned in an email that sip/PyQt 3.8 isn't available on 
the riverbankcomputing site any longer. Based on past 
experience, I think it's really better to make the older 
versions "less available". 

PyKDE still requires sip/PyQt 3.8 however most of the newer 
distributions (SuSE, Mdk) include sip/PyQt 3.8, and rpms are 
available on the sourceforge site

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pykde. 

Debian packages are also available I believe. If anyone needs 
source copies of sip or PyQt 3.8, I have them and can mail them 
to you, or I can post them to sf do if there's much demand.

My vision is really annoying and is slowing me down - I should 
have a big improvement right after surgery Jan 8 for one eye 
(the other will be later in January I hope), and since KDE 3.2 
is still in beta, and sip 4 still "rc", I'm going to postpone 
any new releases until some time in January. The only known 
problems with PyKDE 3.8 are build bugs, and those all have fixes 
or workarounds as far as I know.
