I would like to put KDE 4.8.0 (or 4.8 RC3 rather for now) into KDE:Distro:Factory. The reason is the sooner we start, the better we find the problems.
Currently we have 4.7.4 in KDE:Distro:Factory and in KDE:Release:47. I would like to have your opinion on how to move forward:
a) I copy KDE 4.7.4 from KDE:Distro:Factory to KDE:Distro:Stable, and delink KDE:Release:47 from KDE:Distro:Factory. Then I Import KDE 4.8 into KDE:Distro:Factory and copy whatever is needed from Unstable:SC to make it build and work.
This would mean that future maintenannce updates for 12.1 are based on 4.7.4. I think that is okay, there have even be requests to release 4.7.4 as a maintenance update (in general we're pro this change).
KDE4.7.4 is working fine - yes a few known bugs, but in my opinion (not that it counts for a lot) it's definitely safe/stable enough to push out to the general user base.... in fact it's a significant improvement over what was shipped with 12.1 and would be a welcome maintenance update.
b) I delink KDE:Release:47 from KDE:Distro:Factory and leave it at 4.7.4, and then import KDE 4.8 into KDE:Distro:Factory (and copy whatever is needed from Unstable:SC to make it build and work).
in this case 12.1 updates would stay on 4.7.2, users who want the later fixes would need to switch to KDE:Release:47
I prefer a). any comments?
Huge preference for a) And.. I'd like to get rolling on KDE4.8RC3 ASAP in Factory too :-) C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
