Options for kdepim using kde 4.7/unstable?
 

Hi,

For my new laptop I'm tempted to go with kde 4.7 as now residing in
unstable. However, the lack of kdepim therein is a show stopper for me. Do
inofficial repositories exist to get kontact none the less? Are their other
options?

Thanks for any hints, Joh

I do not understand your question. Kontact is in unstable [1].

Kind regards

Current kde from unstable is a bad idea for a laptop imho, because for some
reason, plasma-desktop permanently pulls some % of cpu time, therefore
ruining battery life.

Dietz, I'm running KDE from unstable and I don't have that problem (I've had kwin/xorg using excessive CPU before but not plasma-desktop and not now). In fact, I'm currently getting about the lowest power usage I've ever had from my laptop with full KDE + compositing!

Use kdepim that is in unstable. kdepim 4.7 is crap, you don't want to use it
if you value your data.

Hello,

Can you be more specific (or link to a bug report or thread or ...)? I am using
kdepim in unstable and I did not observe such behaviour; but I am very
interested in anything that could reduce the power consumption.

Thank you.
Best regards,
Gurvan

It might do so on your machine(s).

On my machines it doesn´t.

plasma-desktop might pull CPU time permanently due to some widget you have
installed that I may not have installed.

If something happens for you, it does not necessarily happen for everyone
else.

KDE SC 4.7.4 IMHO is the best KDE 4 I ever had running here so far. Of
course your mileage may vary.

Ciao,
