Hi all,

It might eventually end up in the karmic-backports repository, but
certainly not in the standard (main, universe, multiverse) ones, since
those don't move in a final release most of the time.

During a 6 month cycle until the next stable release, the new versions
of KDE and it's applications are most likely only available in the
backports, either PPA or regular backports. That's how a distribution
with a fix release cycle works.
Usually there is no reason to fear the backports repository,
especially not with the Timelord project aiming at a better packaging
testing (provided that enough people volunteer to help improving the
current lack of manpower, of course). As a general rule, don't upgrade
until there is an official announcement on the http://kubuntu.org
website.


Regards, Myriam.
