The Debian Sid Packages offer an enhanced KDE software package.
Firstly, it seems that most of the interesting features and updates can be found directly within Debian itself, rendering the Sid Packages less useful for those seeking the latest and greatest software updates. Secondly, it appears that the host site where I had previously accessed this software will soon be shutting down.
However, it's worth noting that the developers behind the Sid Packages are doing their best to incorporate their most popular features into the main Debian distribution. They are focusing their efforts on maintaining and upgrading the programs that are most commonly used by their users, and working to ensure that these programs are fully integrated into the main software distribution.
For those who are interested in checking out the remaining software packages and features that haven't yet been fully integrated into Debian, the developers have made it easy to access this content. Users can easily add the following lines to their sources.list:
deb ./
deb-src ./
They can also submit requests for specific features or software packages, along with links to the relevant source code. While the developers note that it may not always be possible to provide a clean upgrade path from these outside packages to the main Debian distribution, they are doing their best to make the process as seamless as possible.
In the most recent release, users can expect to find kdmtheme, which offers easy kdm-theme management. This feature has been added thanks to the efforts of the developers over at etorix. While Debian Sid Packages may be facing some challenges, there's still plenty to appreciate about this software package. With some effort, users can find a wealth of tools and features that can help them get more out of their KDE experience.
