KDE Packaging Project

This project intends to promote the use of KDE and KDE-based applications on/for Fedora™ and Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® ⁽¹⁾ through the creation and distribution of unofficial core and 3rd-party KDE RPM packages.

This project is not sponsored or endorsed by either Red Hat® or the Fedora™ Project

RPM Repositories

• stable:
  The stable repository contains the latest core and addon packages, which have undergone a reasonable amount of testing and found to be reliable. Currently includes KDE 3.5.10.
• testing :
  The testing repository contains packages that are currently under development and/or testing. These are what most kde-redhat developers use day-to-day. You're a little on the edge with these, but you usually get the absolute latest versions of most (stable) KDE software. Currently, includes kde-4.1.96 (kde-4.2-rc1) for F-10.
• unstable:
  The unstable repository contains bleeding edge, untested, sometimes pre-release, or alpha-quality software. You've been warned. (-:
