The following new packages are provided: - * kdelibs4: KDE 4 libraries + * `kdelibs4`: KDE 4 libraries - * kdepimlibs: KDE 4 PIM libraries + * `kdepimlibs`: KDE 4 PIM libraries - * kdebase4: KDE 4 core runtime files + * `kdebase4`: KDE 4 core runtime files - These packages can be used to develop, build and run KDE 4 applications within KDE 3 or any other desktop environment. + Use these packages to develop, build and run KDE 4 applications within KDE 3 or any other desktop environment. - The kdebase4 package also includes a beta version of the Dolphin file manager as a technology preview. One known issue is that Dolphin currently fails to start up when run from the KDE 3 menu, it works when run from Konsole. There may also be other issues. If you need a stable version of Dolphin, please install the d3lphin package, which is based on KDE 3 and can be safely installed next to kdebase4. + The `kdebase4` package also includes a beta version of the '''Dolphin''' file manager as a technology preview. Note that although '''Dolphin''' currently fails to start up when run from the KDE 3 menu, it works when run from '''Konsole'''. Other issues may exist as well. If you need a stable version of '''Dolphin''', please install the `d3lphin` package, which is based on KDE 3 and can be safely installed alongside `kdebase4`.
