Downloading old versions of packages

So I work on this box (I'm not an admin on it) which is running SuSE9.0 (KDE 3.2.1). The admin didn't install the kdepim package and doesn't intend to. I actually only want karm, but it needs the whole package.

So I wanted to install the package on my user account. But I can't even find it anywhere. I found the exact "download" page I want on www.kde.org :
http://download.kde.org/download.php?url…m-3.2.1.tar.bz2

But all the mirrors have apparantly removed versions before 3.4 (some even only keep 3.5).

Any idea where I can still find the package I need?

Thanks a bunch,
Boolean

RE: Downloading old versions of packages

All I can say is to go to Google and try. You know, 3.2.1 is *really* old (almost 3 years). You could upgrade to a more recent version if it is really an issue.

If upgrading is a no-go, you could try to retrieve the 3.2.1 source from SVN:

Source code

svn co svn co https://svn.kde.org/home/kde/tags/KDE/3.2.1/kdepim
cd kdepim
make -f Makefile.cvs
./configure && make && make install
