Gah, obviously I don't either Tim. Have the older repos at ubuntu,
say for 8.04LTS been recycled by now? I would hope not, but lemme
see what google upchucks. Looks like the src repo's are the first
to go, nothing older than 10.04 LTS and that is at least a version
newer.
I'll ask on the kubuntu list.
Thanks Tim.
Ubuntu 8.04 == KDE 3.5.9 => kcalc is from source package kdeutils
3.5.9 => see sources in
http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/k/kdeutils/ Hi all;
I did solve the previous complaint about the TDE version of
kcalc losing its binary input and bitfield display, by making
two links in the menu's, one to the old KDE kcalc, and one to
the TDE kcalc.
But I/we have another problem. Back around kubuntu 6.04 LTS
time, kcalc had a pair of menu macros to do inch to metric, and
metric to inch.
By ubu 10.04 LTS, those disappeared, apparently never to be seen
again.
Whats chances those could be resurrected for the R14.2 version
of TDE?
Surely the older codebase still exists someplace, and for us who
live in both worlds as I was in electronics for 55 years of my
working life, and that pair of macro's were, while they existed,
handier than bottled beer & sliced bread in keeping the two
measurement worlds on the same page around my piece of this
planet. But now its gone. Sniff...
Cheers, Gene Heskett
I don't have the Ubuntu source archive from that long ago; if you
can dig up a working source (I need the source .debs, not the
binary .debs) it should be trivial to port.
