Today the latest LibreOffice moved to the stable repo's. With this build, it is no longer needed to install the complete office suite, it is split up in different components, and you can choose which parts to install.


Unfortunately, these changes are bigger then appset-qt can handle, in fact it doesn't even recognize this update. So please use "sudo pacman -Syu" for your next update, answer "yes" to all replaces question, and carefully choose the language packs pacman offers to install for you.


This version offers full integration with KDE4, and you can choose from a few themes (oxygen being the default).

Today KDE SC 4.8.1 became available in our Stable repositories, since no issues were found during the time it spent in Testing. This release brings many bugfixes and translation updates on top of the latest edition in the 4.8 series, and it should be a smooth update for everyone.


As usually, please perform this update using "sudo pacman -Syu" and read any instructions by pacman carefully.
