Are there any diffs/patches to update from kde-3.0.5 to kde-3.1.0????

AFAIK, there are no diffs, but you should be able to use CVS to update 
your source-tree. At least it works with the tar-files from my 
suse-CDs. Look at developer.kde.org for instruction. You can leave out 
the initial check-out "cvs co <modul-name>". Instead, cd into each 
subdirectory (kdelibs, kdebase...) and do a "cvs update -r 
KDE_3_1_0_RELEASE" instead. This updates your sources to 3.1.0 and 
later, when 3.1.1 comes out, you can update just as easy again.
For kde-i18n, do a "cvs update -l -r KDE_3_1_0_RELEASE", this updates 
only the kde-i18n basedirectory, then do a "cvs update -r 
KDE_3_1_0_RELEASE de admin" to update only the subdirectory for german 
(de, choose your language).This way you don't need to download 100MB of 
russian, turkish and chinese. Edit the file subdirs accordingly.

Note the you can *not* use KDE_3_1_0_RELEASE for arts and Koffice, those 
are tagged different. I use no tag (giving me the leading edge) for 
arts, and KOFFICE_1_2_1_RELEASE for koffice.
If you want to, you can use KDE_3_1_0_BRANCH, in order to always have 
the newest bugfixes. I just updated my sources from 3.1.0rc6 to 
3.1.0-final this way, took 10 min. on a 56k connection.

For the first compilation, I recommend:
make -f admin/Makefile.common cvs-clean	(to delete old Makefiles etc.)
make -f Makefile.cvs					
./configure
make
(su) make install

good luck

Rainer
