Installing rkward 0.6.5

Hello,

I am writing concerning my attempts to install the latest version of 
rkward (0.6.5) - I am currently using Xubuntu 14.04.

First I tried to just follow the instructions that are given to extract 
and install the tar-ball, but cmake failed with this message:

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindKDE4.cmake:98 (message):
   ERROR: cmake/modules/FindKDE4Internal.cmake not found in
   /home/martin/.kde/share/apps;/usr/share/kde4/apps
Call Stack (most recent call first):
   CMakeLists.txt:10 (FIND_PACKAGE)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

"/home/martin/Downloads/rkward-0.6.5/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".


So I tried to install all required dependencies that are described on 
the "Building RKWard From Source" page. On the homepage it says:

"On Debian based systems (such as Ubuntu) the following will get all the 
dependencies installed (and hopefully the package names will be similar 
on other distributions):

$ apt-get install kdelibs5 kdelibs5-dev libx11-dev r-base-core 
r-base-dev cmake"

However, this does not work. I get this error: "Paket kdelibs5 kann 
nicht gefunden werden." (Package kdelibs5 cannot be found.). Apparently 
this package does not exist?

So instead of trying to build rkward from source, I wanted to include 
the repository that you name on the homepage in my sources.list to get 
the latest version:
deb-src https://files.kde.org/rkward/debian
However, if when I did "sudo apt-get update", my system tells me that 
this is a broken line:

E: Missgestaltete Zeile 62 in Quellliste /etc/apt/sources.list (»dist«)
E: Die Liste der Quellen konnte nicht gelesen werden.

I simply cannot call apt-get update (using the Ubuntu distro name 
instead of debian does not work either).

It seems to be rather difficult to install the latest version of rkward. 
I think it would help me to know how to load the package kdelibs5, is 
there some repository that I need to add? Or does the package have 
another name?

And another point: I often tried to get the sources from your git 
repository, but this never works: "git clone 
git://anongit.kde.org/rkward.git"; I always get a timeout on my request. 
Are you sure that you are listing the correct git repository on your 
homepage?

Thanks in advance!

Martin
