anoncvs.kde.org and ftp.kde.org are currently down (system failure) We
are working on it...

Related announcement: that machine won't provide anoncvs services anymore.
anoncvs.kde.org will be switched to bluemchen.sourceforge.net (aka
rsync.kde.org) shortly. Feel free to switch to that machine already, to 
get anoncvs (with even earlier updates than previously, since that 
machine is the primary mirror of cvs).

No! Not at all!

KDE3 will be announced in a few days. There should be packages available 
for your distribution, so please update your KDE.

The applications in the main kde packages are compiled with -DQT_NO_COMPAT 
which makes it impossible to stay compatible. If we want to move the 
application to the kdegraphics package, we have to make that NOW. That 
means I will break the kde2 compatibility the next days after Luis 
committed his changes. I already have the port on my disk.

Greetings, Andreas
