The latest information about Krusader can be found on the Krusader website and Krusader project page at Sourceforge can be found here.
The latest version can be found on the Krusader downloadpage and on the Sourceforge mirrors. It contains the source tarballs and RPM packages to whatever distro we are currently using.
Often Mandrake™, Feodora® and SuSE® RPM's are available, sent in by Krusader users. There might be some other packages our website, but that depends on other users contributions.
Debian® DEB packages and a DEB packages overview are available.
There is a FreeBSD® port thanks to Heiner Eichmann .
There is a Mac® OS-x 10.3 (Panther) port with the kdelibs (3.1.4) and fink.sourceforge.net thanks to Jonas Baëhr .
Gentoo® Ebuild is available.
You may also find packages on Linux® software archives such as freshmeat.net or KDE-APPS.org.
If you can't find a RPM package for your Linux® distribution, we recommend searching for it with rpmfind.net or rpmpbone.net.
If you still can't find a RPM or DEB package, please don't worry. We provide a verry detailled installation procedure. This howto allows that even newcomers will be able to compile Krusader from source, even if you've never compiled a program from source. Please continue to read this chapter ;)
krusader-x.xx.tar.gz
Krusader is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL), this means that THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITH NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, even when it is marked as a stable release.
krusader-x.xx-betax.tar.gz
Before every stable release we release at least one development version, so that we can hunt down the bugs.
This releases are beta releases and will probably contain some bugs.
If u are using a development or CVS version, it is possible that the latest new features are not yet in the "The Krusader Handbook". Please read the ChangeLog file online or in the Krusader sources to find out more about the latest new features. For a brief description of the latest new features, please read the CVSNEWS file online or in the Krusader sources. User feedback and Bug reports are always welcome!
This version has 3 goals:
Apply a feature-freeze until the stable is released, only bugs will be fixed. New features have to wait until the stable is released.
Have feedback from Krusader users so that we can fix the bugs.
Give translators the time to update the translations, for the comming stable. Please read the Krusader translation howto
krusader-cvs-yyyy-mm-dd.tar.gz
These builds are untested and come without any warranty. They may contain bugfixes, new features or new bugs!
We provide daily builds of Krusader's CVS version. For those who are interested. The nightly tarball can be found on the Krusader's Cutting Edge page. Depending on the development progress this version will either be stable or unstable. Just before a stable release, the CVS version is almost stable. After a stable release new features will be commit in CVS, which might lead to some unfortunate bugs. In some rare cases the build will even not compile if we make a mistake, in that case we try to fix the mistake as soon as possible.
Krusader provides 2 nightly builds (snapshots):
krusader-cvs-yyyy-mm-dd.tar.gz: make -f Makefile.cvs must be run before the ./configure script is available
krusader-cvs2-yyyy-mm-dd.tar.gz: for users who have problems with the make -f Makefile.cvs command, we have already done this for you and the ./configure script is included in the tarball (This tarball is a bit bigger then the first one).
Checkout from CVS. Krusader can be checked out through anonymous (pserver) CVS with the following instruction set. The module you wish to check out must be specified as the modulename. When prompted for a password for anonymous, simply press the Enter key.
Currently there are two module options:
krusader_kde2: the KDE2 branch, stable but it's basically v1.01 and there are no planned changes
krusader_kde3: the KDE3 branch, that we currently use
To checkout Krusader from CVS:
$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/krusader login
$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/krusader co krusader_kde3(note: updates from within the modules directory do not need the -d parameter)
To checkout a specific version of Krusader from CVS (e.g. Krusader-1.50) :
$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/krusader login
$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/krusader co -rversion_1_50 krusader_kde3(note: updates from within the modules directory do not need the -d parameter)
Mostly being Gentoo® users ourselves, we provide a Gentoo Live Ebuild for all those who want to stay on the bleeding edge of filemanagement and don't want to miss the advantages of portage. Please take a look at our Krusader's Cutting Edge page for more installation details.
We provide also ViewCVS to browse the CVS repository.
