KDE 4.8 backport for Debian wheezy (Kanotix Dragonfire)

Tue, 03/06/2012 - 16:18 — acritox

I've added a repository for the Kanotix release based on Debian wheezy, Codename "Dragonfire", and backported KDE4.8 there:

sources.list entry

# Kanotix Dragonfire (with KDE4.8-wheezy-backport by acritox)
deb http://kanotix.acritox.com/debian dragonfire main kde-backport
deb-src http://kanotix.acritox.com/debian dragonfire main kde-backport

it contains backported amd64 and i386 packages of KDE4.8 (mainly packages from Kubuntu, with some Kubuntu-specific patches removed, some own patches added and some patches adopted from the source-packages of the ZevenOS-Neptune-repository, qt-kde.debian.net and pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org), and some other packages that are patched for Kanotix Dragonfire:

  • kernel-wedge
  • debhelper
  • policykit
  • libparted

GPG key

 
If you get something like this at the end of "apt-get update":
W: GPG error: http://kanotix.acritox.com Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified
because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 36A6D2F8ECF82819
then you are missing my public GPG key. You may either install the acritox-archive-keyring package:


Kanotixbox:/tmp# apt-get install acritox-archive-keyring


(...)


WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!


  acritox-archive-keyring


Install these packages without verification [y/N]? y


(...)


Setting up acritox-archive-keyring (2010.09.01) ...


OK


Kanotixbox:/tmp# 






or you could just add my key to apt-key:


Kanotixbox:/tmp# wget -qO- http://kanotix.acritox.com/files/public-key.gpg | apt-key add -
OK
Kanotixbox:/tmp#
