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.

Live packages
