Hi,
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).
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?
Thanks, Dirk
Hi Dirk, You raised this issue on 7 January and I see that there are 43 posts in this thread - and, unfortunately, I just am not able to wade thru all of them to see what the final outcome is of your proposal. So, what is the final outcome? Where is KDE 4.8 available or is it not available, please? BC -- It is in the nature of things that every time you try to avoid one danger you run into another.
