Linux Best distro to follow latest KDE 4.x snapshots?

[vishalrao]

Anyone out here following latest KDE 4.x builds (currently KDE 4.4 beta/RC svn snapshots) on a mainstream distro?

I normally run Kubuntu alpha, but this time only upstream releases (beta, RC etc) are available in PPAs/repositories and no cutting-edge/trunk/svn snapshots.

Even "project neon" (KDE nightly) seems to be dead, and the popular "KDE 4 Live" live CD is no longer updated by the guy...

I though of Fedora (rawhide) 13 alphas but it looks a bit too unstable for me.

I am currently running openSUSE 11.2 since I saw it has a KDE 4.x UNSTABLE repository which claims to have weekly updates from latest SVN trunk.

Any other distros? Does Arch have latest KDE "repos" - meaning I dont have to manually download source and build/install (which I can do on any distro) - I wanted some sort of package manager support to install pre-built stuff...

I'm desperate to get the latest KDE 4.4 code running - don't want to wait for regular beta/RC releases hyeah: - of course last resort will be to simply install Arch and checkout KDE trunk sources and build and install myself...

Check The Chakra Project - Welcome . They have unstable and testing repo's for KDE4 on arch, check it out to see if the beta/RC snapshots are available. I use the KDE4.3 repo's from there which run beautifully.

Chakra seems to only have 4.3 stable releases not unstable 4.4 builds, can you paste link if you have it?

Same with Arch, ( Arch Linux Forums / kde-4.4-unstable repo and some others are volunteer based and defunct now ) cant seem to locate KDE 4.4 trunk/weekly/daily/nightly stuff, note that even KDE 4.4 Beta2/RC normal unstable releases are not enough - I already have it in my Kubuntu 10.04 alpha installation - just want the bleeding edge...

edit: cant believe im too impatient, RC1 release should happen this week anyways
