KDE 4.6.2 Has Landed on Debian Experimental

The Debina KDE community was anticipating 4.6.2 in one of the official repositories in April. Though the release was expected in the official repositories, it made its way to the semi-official qt-kde.debian.net.

I just had a check and found that 4.6.2 is in the official Experimental repository today. kdebindings has not been packaged yet. This means it might take some more time for the release to reach unstable (sid) and testing (wheezy) repositories.

Update: Updating to qt-kde.debian.net is a stabler option than the official Experimental. As per the sources, debian Experimental and qt-kde.debian.net are almost the same but the latter may contain more packages. qt-kde.debian.net also seems more active than the Experimental. As we are expecting KDE 4.6.3 within this week, we can expect that to reach unstable (sid) rather than 4.6.2.
