Will these still just be links from KDF? Or will this become a "real" development repository with "real" packages?
What do you exactly mean with "real" development repository ? At this moment all the packages in the KDE:Release:XY are real packages and no links to KDF. Of course all of them started out as links to KDF. Keep in mind that the KDE:Release:XY will be the "official" maintenance repositories for the KDE versions supplied in the supported openSUSE versions. KDE:Release:411 will be the official maintenance branch for KDE in openSUSE 13.1 (The same way as that KDE:Release:410 is for openSUSE 12.3)
I'm also concerned about only building KDF for o:F. I'd like to be able to test KDF at least on the latest supported openSUSE release - with KDE:Extra also built for the latest released openSUSE+KDF target.
I guess the question here would be what exactly does KDF mean for you ? I see two situations here (based on the current situation) :
Situation 1) KDF is building KDE 4.11.2 and build for Factory and 12.3. KDE:Release:411 is building KDE 4.11.2 and builds for 12.3 and 12.2. Question here would be why do we build twice for 12.3 ? Isn't this wasting build power ? There are no differences on package level between KDF and KR411.
Situation 2) KDF is building KDE 4.12 Beta 1, which is not build anywhere else.
My proposal for situation 1 would be to disable the build for 12.3 in KDF. 12.3 users should use KR411 instead.
For Situation 2 there are two possibilities. The first one is that we enable the build for 12.3 in KDF besides building for Factory. The second possibility is to create the KDE412 repository at the moment of Beta release and start building there for 12.3 and 12.2.
I don't have any preference for either one, but maybe the creation of KR412 at Beta release is more appealing for additional users. If this is the preferred option, then why should be build KDF for any other distro version than Factory ? All other repositories are covered by the KRXY repo's.
I see. Historically KR4XX was supposed to have fixed linkrevs, reducing the risk of breakages, cuz stuff would have been "tested" in KDF first, and the inconvenience of constant rebuilds ("updates"), compared to KDF. But if I understand correctly, then now the only difference between KR4xx and KDF is that KDF can have betas of KDE SC. In this situation I guess we should just create KR4XX at beta time, and use KR4XX as the factory devel project, and do away with KDF altogether. What purpose would KDF serve other than a place for the betas? Maybe even KUSC could fulfill this purpose. Anyway, my interest in KDF is solely, that I want to know the most meaningful KDE packages to test with regards to the official openSUSE releases (other than running a full-time factory system all year 'round, of course). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
