Now that we have a x86_64 build machine, we can now offier x86_64 rpms. We have fc3/x86_64, fc4/x86_64, and el4/x86_64 core packages available now. We'll soon get to work on el3/x86_64 core packages as well as addins/extras (non-core pkgs) for all x86_64 platforms.

Initially, x86_64 repos include yum metadata only (ie, no apt support).

Enjoy.

Due to the need to support new releases, and even platforms (ie, amd64), time(*)/space constraints require us to retire support for some older releases. So, I regret to announce that kde-redhat will no longer be producing new packages for the rh80 and fc1 platforms. We'll keep the existing packages around for at least another 2-3 months, afterwhich, they will be deleted/removed.

Our near-term expectations are to support at least the 2 most recent Fedora Core and RedHat Enterprise releases on i386. My own department still has a large deployment of rh90 boxes and a few rh73 servers, so I have a personal incentive to continue supporting these too (otherwise, we'd probably end up dropping these in the not-too-distant future too). Pending acquiring a x64 box (or at least dependable build environment), I plan on adding FC/EL support on these as well.... read more

The kde-redhat project has completed a reorganization of the apt repositories, that will allow easier transition to and cooperation with the fedora project (See http://www.fedora.us\).

In short, the former repositories at
http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/RHVER/
RPMS.kde3
RPMS.kde3-extras
RPMS.kde3-test
are no more, and have been replaced by 2 repositories, a "fedora" repository for non-KDE (but requisite) packages, and a "kde-redhat" repository for KDE packages.... read more

Congratulations and thanks to everyone who's contributed to our efforts. We've gotten good mention on dot.kde.org:
