But the degree that Todd's case is true can best be shown by hard evidence. Sven - and others - how many of the bugs that get reported to bugs.kde.org are nothing to do with KDE, are bugs in MAKE, GCC, X or the kernel? How many are actually runtime/installation configuration issues?
Because I wonder how much of Todd's 'stack' is 'runtime' as opposed to the 'stack' that's needed to run Linux as a development platform?
Reality often bits and many plausible conjectures fall in the face of evidence. Sven, what's the hard evidence here?
You will have to query upstream. I can only speak for the bugs I report and there was not a single gcc or make issue around. Configuration (if it is a KDE apps config) is upstream as well. Kwin has some issues depending on the xorg/graphics stack but with exceptions those are still not openSUSE-specific but valid for other distros as well and it's good upstream knows about them. No arch, fedora or whatever user will query bnc for issues and hence "same stack"-users will never meet. Very few issues are really openSUSE-specific. apper + zypper-backend is one of them. The nvidia one back in the days was one as well AFAIK. As I mentioned before, most bugs reported are normal KDE bugs so as a rule of thumb upstream is the correct place to report – even if it only helps to check which distros have the same issue and what stack versions they share. I mean, does anybody really doubt that >50% of KDE bugs reported are not openSUSE-specific?
