perhaps everybody else here is better informed than i am; in that case excuse me for wasting your time please.

until a couple hours ago i was under the impression that kde "factory" would contain the recent 4.3.2 release. i was surprised to learn that's not the case. factory is still 4.3.1, while the 4.3.2 release for the various oS versions is located here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/43/

just in case somebody else suffers from the same illusion or lack of knowledge that i did... Unless I misunderstand, Factory is now past version freeze and will NOT get 4.3.2. openSUSE 11.2 will release with 4.3.1.

I'd like to say that I think that this is a huge mistake. 4.3.2 was a big stability improvement for me personally over 4.3.1. 11.2 may be in "version freeze" but isn't that bendable a bit? Especially for something like KDE - a core component, *and* 4.3.1 is a bug fix release, not a new-feature release. It'd be kind of embarrassing for 11.2 to ship with 4.3.1, IMO. -- Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Actually 11.2 will ship almost-4.3.2, we kept updating until the freeze, which was only a few days before the 4.3.2 release. And we will not do mass updates anymore, only specific bugfixes. Even bugfix releases can introduce new problems (there is at least one know regression in 4.3.2). -- Lubos Lunak KDE developer -------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org Lihovarska 1060/12 tel: +420 284 084 672 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

11.2 is frozen now. After November 12, KDE:/KDE4:/Factory/ will become a wild bleeding edge out of control beast again until 11.3 is frozen at some point and so forth.

i'm not planning to use factory after the release of 11.2 -- at least not for a long while. i came to factory with the idea of helping to find bugs. instead i found a system that's -- at least for me -- stable for all practical purposes. i'm going to use factory until & after it's release, with whatever version of KDE suits my purpose best. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
