    Preface

    • CAUTION! Be aware that beta testing is potentially dangerous to your installation. Don't install beta versions on production systems. If you are aware of the risks and that's ok for you: Keep on. Your help is appreciated. Nevertheless, especially for beta versions goes: This software comes with no warranty at all!
    • Before starting beta testing it's a good idea to make a backup of your configuration, stored in ~/.kde/share/config/konversationrc, and your application data, stored in ~/.kde/share/apps/konversation.
    • If you found a bug or have a feature request, let us know by filing it in the KDE Bug Tracker.

    Manual checkout and update

    KDE 4 version

    To install latest Konversation from Git you first need to clone the repository. For read-only public access, use the following:

    git clone git://anongit.kde.org/konversation
    

    If on the other hand you have a KDE developer account, use this instead to be able to push your changes to the repository later:

    git clone [email protected]:konversation
    

    After having cloned the repository, go on like this:

    cd konversation
    mkdir build
    cd build
    cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull ..
    make
    sudo make install
    

    If you already did the above, just do the following whenever you want to update your checkout and installation:

    cd konversation; git pull; cd build; make; sudo make install
    

    See the links at the bottom of this page for more information on working with Git.

    KDE 3 version

    See the separate page.
