[SOLVED] Can't seem to find Kate text editor In the repos

This is odd but.. no matter how hard I look, I can't find Kate in the Arch repositories at all.

I happen to be using the repositories at :
ftp://locke.suu.edu/linux/dist/archlinu … ty/os/i686

kate isn't it's own package, it's part of kdebase

There shouldn't be any reason to learn more editor types than emacs or vi -- mg (1)

Yeah, the only app I want from KDE is Kate, I dont' like having to install 15 packaes to do that. Which is why I love LXDE apps so much, they don't depend on LXDE in any way. I just installed lxappearance and it had 0 depends

EDIT: Well installing kdebase didn't seem to install it. It's not in /usr/bin

maybe kdemod has a split package for it?

edit unless you count their unstable repo where it is avilable but it's the kde4 version so im not sure how many dependencies it has

In kde 4.1, kate is part of kdesdk,not kdebase... (It seems it's just an arch issue?)
