Hi,

Just to inform that krita3 is being packaged for mageia6 next to 
calligra 2.9.11 (which still also includes krita 2.9.11..). I especially 
asked the packager if it was possible to get both krita versions 
available for now (for users it's safer to have both available, for 
tablets that work on 2.9 but not 3.0 yet, or other possible regressions..)

Of course both won't be co-installable, but it should be possible to 
install krita3 and other calligra apps.

Our packager said he would send his modifications to Helio for fedora...

So, I believe it should not be a problem if packagers do it right.

Timo.
