-## Debian & derivatives

-RKWard is now included in the official debian distribution. Due to the
-nature of the debian release cycle, inclusion in the testing and stable
-archives may take a lot of time, and even debian unstable may not
-include new releases, immediately.
-
-More up to date packages are available. The following apt-lines (add to
-/etc/apt/sources.list) may be of interest to you:
-
-### deb-src for all systems

-`# the latest source packages for all debian distributions`
-`deb-src `<https://files.kde.org/rkward/debian>` ./`
-
-With the above line in /etc/apt/sources.list , the following series of
-commands should be enough to build and install your own binary .deb.

-does not, [let us know](Contact.html)):
