The third release candidate release of KDE 4.5 was released last week and again thanks to neoclust and mikala who did all the rebuild work this time, we have packages for Mandriva 2010 Spring since a couple of days now. Packages for both i586 and x86_64 are available. Here are the upgrade instructions:
First, if you have added the repositories for RC 2 or any previous version, remove them with the following command:
urpme.removemedia kde-4.5rc2
or whatever name you gave to the repository. Second, add the KDE 4.5 RC3 repository, for 32 bit systems use the following urpmi command (as root):
urpmi.addmedia kde-4.5rc3 ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/4.4.95/Mandriva/2010.1/i586/
You can use another mirror if you want. For 64 bits systems use the following urpmi command (as root):
urpmi.addmedia kde-4.5rc3 ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/4.4.95/Mandriva/2010.1/x86_64/
Then update the repositories and download all the packages before actually installing them to make sure that the installation is possible (as root):
urpmi --auto-update --auto-select --test
When all packages finish downloading and you see a message at the end saying that the installation is possible, you can now run the same command without the –test parameter to perform the installation (as root):
urpmi --auto-update --auto-select
After the packages installation finishes, logout and log back in, That’s it. If you have some problems with the upgrade, the first thing to do to solve them is to log out, move away your .kde4 directory and log back in.
