Hey everybody!
What's the policy for patches to KRxy? AFAIR KRxy repos were meant to be more stable, i.e. less patching and rebuilding than KDF. Ideally only updated once a month, i.e. for a new upstream release.
Now that 12.2 is nearly done, I would suggest that we 1) Submit 4.8.5 to 12.2 and move KDE:Distro:Factory packages to KDE:Distro:Stable (the devel project for 12.2 maintenance, for those who have just tuned in) 2) Move KDE:Release:49 packages to KDE:Distro:Factory and make KR49 *fixed* links to KDF 3) Work together on 4.9 patching and updating in KDF 4) Update KR49 linked revisions regularly (fortnightly?).
Of course it makes sense to update non-SC apps and fix packaging bugs. But what about other patches? Shouldn't they be restricted to "important" bugs?
Important needs a definition. Crashes, data loss, regressions would come to my mind.
Also, only patches that were accepted upstream should be pushed into KRxy.
Or just 'no random hacking' rule, which would imply upstream patches or things we deliberately develop (we can but dream...)
