Unfortunately Krita is not available by itself. One has to 
update the entire KDE package. This opens up the 
possibility of undesired side effects. And it is a lot of work. 


If there is a way to update Krita by itself then I would be 
happy to do that. Otherwise I will wait for the next major 
upgrade of my OS (Slackware) to get an update that won't 
screw other things up.

You mention trunk. That usually means a development 
version. I have some other programs that I update regularly, 
like Scribus, using svn commands embedded in a script. If 
that is available for Krita I would like to hear about the 
details.
