You have obviously not been following the thread in this list; and there are also many other people who are waiting for an official announcement in the most-read openSUSE list - the HELP one I suspect - that there has been a major change in the repositories' structure for KDE. But such simple announcement appears to be too difficult to produce. Go to the wiki page re openSUSE's repositories and you should see that the you need to only have (well, not quite but close...) repo called */KDE:/Current/openSUSE_13.1 to meet your KDE needs.

And also see that kde team have perhaps forget to forward the announcement message to news team. Then WHY didn't you copy & paste the announce and send it to news team ? That's called community is charge, and contribution.

Firstly, who are you? I was replying to Bruno but then you come out of the woodwork to respond with your provocative and bombastic revelation. But in any case, OK, it's your life and presumably you being a big boy you are free to act the way you want. But clarify this for me: do you mean that you shall simply ignore my posts or are you going to send my posts to the 'bit-bucket'?
I would suggest also to spare wasting characters in messages unless you want to actually contribute something (you know, there's so much we can do ourselves) rather than absolutely pointless bickering.
Who's bickering? But you know, I have had a gut-full of people who go and volunteer to do a job and then when they don't like what they see or get as feedback take the idiotic supposedly high moral ground by stating exactly what you just stated, " ....wasting characters in messages unless you want to actually contribute something....". I have been a volunteer for many years on many organisations including 2 computer User Groups and in one of them there was this "leader" whose "administrative" skills consisted of telling people who questioned actions/decisions that "we are all volunteers and we don't have the time to answer your questions, and if you want an answer then contribute to the User Group!". My thoughts on this was: 1) if a job was worth doing then it was worth doing well; and 2) nobody asked you to volunteer for the job so if you have a problem handling the situation then go away, vamoose, and find something else to do.
It makes me wonder why I spent my time writing the announcement in the first place.
Exactly what "announcement in the first place"?! Where? What did it contain? What is the date of this "announcement"? The only "announcement" I read was the one from Raymond in this list - which he has now also posted in openSUSE 'help' and which could have been done by simply adding a CC: to his original message to this list. And in case you don't follow this list carefully, this matter about announcing changes to KDE has already been discussed some time ago - and I happened to have raise the matter at that time.

I did what you did, but sometime after 1999. 1991, 3 years before Torvalds' v1.0 kernel, was about 5 years before the birth of KDE. http://www.kde.org/community/history/

Your laziness; that you apparently cannot be bothered to look up an easy to find answer to a question in your mind instead of polluting a mailing list thread with such question accompanied by derogatory or otherwise counter-productive comments.

What it shows is you apparently cannot be bothered to do a simple lookup instead of expecting someone on a mailing list to provide your answer. You seem to expect full credentials to accompany any of the relatively rare support list posts from the usually silent programmers that provide the programs you use and that you paid nothing for or to them to write. With all the experience you have in help forums, and as a long time KDE and openSUSE user, you, like most regulars, ought to be able to either recognize the names of important contributors to KDE and openSUSE, or look them up. Just because you don't routinely, or ever, see particular names in the help forums you frequent, does not mean they aren't worth knowing, especially when you feel inclined to condemn comments that are not accompanied by regurgitation of the already public qualifications for making the comments they make. We don't have such a surplus of competent programmers that we can afford to risk chasing them away by being rude to them.

Don't call me "dude". Only immature American teenagers use the word "dude".
Cross-posting is Evil, don't count on me to do it!
Sorry if it offends you but there quite a number of people who use CC: to post messages to more than one list - and it appears that this abiliity is restricted to select few because I *I* tried to do this my CC: post would be rejected by the mail-bot controlling oS mail lists.
In place of wasting our time with that kind of comment, did you send the summary to news team. No I guess you haven't, once again those who work have done it.
Listen, it isn't my job to send anything to any "news team" - whatever that may be. Firstly, I wouldn't know what to send anyone anything because I do not know all the details. Secondly, I have no official standing in the scheme of things and therefore simply would not dare to send out information about something which I have no knowledge!
I'm still dreaming one day to see your first positive contribution.
I am making - once again really - a positive contribution which is to simply have the information about any changes re new version releases, or changes to repos as in this instance, of KDE to be advised to users in either or both oS Announce of oS [help] lists. When one installs openSUSE the first mail list that they subscribe to would be openSUSE [help] and it would be the one with the biggest audience. So my "campaign" is simply asking for any info about KDE be posted there at least so that people know about important and progressive changes to KDE. Just a simple, no-brainer, request for this to happen - and one which would be easily satisfied by simply adding a CC: to a post in this list - but which has now appears to have been turned into a childish stoush.

What the heck is "planet openSUSE"?
and there was an announcement on this very list.
Date and time and copy of message thank you. The only message I saw was the one from Raymond.
There is only so much one can do in his/her own free time along with tons of other commitments, so more help is welcome (instead of useless, non- constructive bickering).
I would be most interested in whatever statistics you can produce to show the number of people who read what you called above "planet openSUSE" as well as how many people actually know about it. Now, just as a thought - just as a thought mind you, and I am saying this so that it doesn't cause apoplexy - I am (or rather was) subscribed to a mail list for another distro and even though I am no longer subscribed I get an e-mail telling me that there has been a change to the s/ware. Now, wouldn't it be nice if whoever is on the mail list for, say, KDE and openSUSE [Help] would get an e-mail telling them that a new version of KDE has been made available and which repo it's in now?

I am *so* glad that you feel so much better :-) . My post had just this outcome in mind :-D .
I have slightly altered the email from this list and just send it to the opensuse@opensuse.org list. But I guess that we will always miss people as that they might be subscribed to the opensuse news list in their language.
See my last post re me getting advise via e-mail of changes to s/ware in another distro and which is sent because my address is on the mail list of that distro (or was...). OK, it may sound like spam but not really as I had been subscribed to the mail list.
The message has been send out in blog posts, the community page on Google+, etc, so the assumption was that everyone was informed well in advance.
As Confucius said, "Assumption is the mother of all f*****" :-) .
Go to the wiki page re openSUSE's repositories and you should see that the you need to only have (well, not quite but close...) repo called */KDE:/Current/openSUSE_13.1 to meet your KDE needs. The KDE:Current repo covers 100% of the functionality provided by the KDE:Release:XY repositories. Also the KRXY repositories required the KDE:Extra repo for additional applications.
As I mentioned in another post, I am not a mouthpiece for KDE and do not know all the details and therefore cannot - and will not because I may mislead people - provide definitive answers on something I do know about. Nor do I seek to usurp someone else's authoritative position. BC -- A civilisation is judged by how it treats the most vulnerable.

You have obviously not been following the thread in this list; and there are also many other people who are waiting for an official announcement in the most-read openSUSE list - the HELP one I suspect - that there has been a major change in the repositories' structure for KDE. But such simple announcement appears to be too difficult to produce.

Do you know if there are any explanations anywhere that tells us why some directory levels in a repo have a ":" at the end of their name and some don't. :o) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

As far as I know the ":" indicates that there are sub projects underneath the directory name. This to distinguish a package repository from a sub-project structure. An good example is Education. There are two directory names, namely: Eduction (without ":") that contains the sub directories for the build targets against which the packages in the Education project are being build. Education: (with ":") that contains the sub directories that represent the sub projects under Education with their build targets. So in the end it is just to keep the build targets for a project separated from sub projects.

No. Even if it is not mentioned on http://de.opensuse.org/KDE_Repositorys, the new repositories are listed on http://en.opensuse.org/KDE_repositories. HTH Werner -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Werner, Given my limited knowledge of German, I can only maintain the English version of that page and we are dependent on the community to provide the page in other languages. But if you have the time to translate it, then this would be great. If you do not have access to the wiki yourself, then just send me the text in an email and I will update the German page.

Hi Werner, I can let you know that the German translation is up-to-date with the help of Harald Stürmer. Regards Raymond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
