Kopete from kde4 in kde3?

Is there a way to install kopete from kde4 in kde3, without breaking the kde3 installation?

Re: Kopete from kde4 in kde3?

If you use KDEmod's unstable repository you can have it along side.

You need to add the following lines to pacman.conf

[kdemod-unstable]
Server = http://kdemod.ath.cx/repo/unstable/i686

Then install the package kdemod4-kdenetwork-kopete

Some of the other KDE4 testing repositories might work too, but I'm not sure since I don't use any of them.

DId you like taht? I found it pretty unstable and "crazy", if you get me.

But as a beta (I used the 4.1beta one) its acceptable.

Indeed I did! Kopete is one of the few apps that are absolutely usable on kde 4.1. Everything worked for me and it was very very stable.

Re: Kopete from kde4 in kde3?

Probably a silly question...
But how do I start the KDE4 version of Kopete?

I have installed the kdemod4-kdenetwork-kopete package, with pretty much other packages as dependency. Well, but Kopete didn't add itself to the Start Menu and I have no idea, what's the name of the application. I have already tried things like "kopete-kde4", "kopete4", etc. Unfortunately without any success.

Thanks for your help!

Re: Kopete from kde4 in kde3?

When i try to configure "list" options in kopete it crashes writing to console:

QObject::connect: Cannot connect (null)::onlineStatusChanged(Kopete::Contact *, const Kopete::OnlineStatus &, const Kopete::OnlineStatus &) to Kopete::Identity::updateOnlineStatus()

It seems that it caused by KHTML version mismatch. How can i make kopete to use KHTML from kde4?

I thought, that this was the KDE 3 version,
but indeed, it's the KDE4 Version.

Thank you!

Re: Kopete from kde4 in kde3?

Yahoo! I've figured it out! Here is small howto to run kdemod4's kopete in kdemod3:
First we need to install kdemod4-kdenetwork-kopete and kdemod4-kdebase-runtime-icons, then edit /opt/kde/share/apps/khtml/css/html4.css and change:

/*
 * The default style sheet used by khtml to render HTML pages
 * (C) 2000-2003 Lars Knoll (knoll@kde.org)
 *
 * Konqueror/khtml relies on the existence of this style sheet for
 * rendering. Do not remove or modify this file unless you know
 * what you are doing.
 */

to

/*
 * The default style sheet used by khtml to render HTML pages
 * (C) 2000-2003 Lars Knoll (knoll@kde.org)
 *
 * Konqueror/khtml relies on the existence of this style sheet for
 * rendering. Do not remove or modify this file unless you know
 * what you are doing.
 *
 * KHTML_STYLE_VERSION: 1
 *
 */

That's all! If you want to separate kdemod3's kopete from kdemod4's kopete you can start it that way:

KDEHOME=~/.kde4 /opt/kdemod/bin/kopete
