Slavek, all

  Kate-editor.org finally pulled the plug on allowing updates to the kate
syntax files. Not just for KDE3, but for Frameworks5 as well. While the change
was over a year ago, I don't think the link went down until sometime later.

  So basically we are left with a config dialog with a [Download] button that
no longer does anything anymore. It seems there needs to be a similar
repository setup and a change made to the URL kate uses. While with Frameworks
5, each new version will come with the new syntax files, for TDE/KDE3 there
will need to be some repository that makes updates available when things
change (like the current html/css file needs help)

  The files are relatively small (40k, etc..), and the number that change on
an annual basis is small, so there shouldn't be much bandwidth required to
support it at all -- the reality of it is very few ever update the syntax
files until -- well something doesn't work any more.

  I'm open to suggestions. I know we looked a difference in the javascript
file ~ 2 years ago between the TDE version and openSUSE KDE3 version, and
since that time kate-editor.org pulled the plug.

  I would probably lean toward hooking the [Download] URL button to a git
repository that could provide a more or less seamless URL change for where
kate looks for the updates? Thoughts?
