Let me quote what I think would be an intelligent response to my post: Your first post was "Just to fan the flame...
I like this one:
"Starting with KDE version 4.3.1 shipped with openSUSE 11.2 it is considered that KDE4 is at least an adequate replacement for KDE3 and for resource reasons KDE3 is not supported."
The question remains: was KDE4 at that time an adequate replacement for KDE3 or not? Is it now? The problem is with the attitude of openSUSE developers: Instead of waiting until KDE4 becomes stable openSUSE released the beta KDE4 and experimented with the users. According to KDE4 developers themself KDE4 will not reach stable state (ie. remains in beta phase) until it is not reaching version 4.5. I did not put it myself, I read this on the KDE list, and it was agreed by KDE developers too.
Just for completeness:
What his source for this claim was and how
"According to KDE4 developers themself KDE4 will not reach stable state (ie. remains in beta phase) until it is not reaching version 4.5. I did not put it myself, I read this on the KDE list, and it was agreed by KDE developers too."
became
"I don't know if the poster is kde developer but as I recall his remarks were not denied by any of the kde developers who posted to that thread."
1. I don't know why this guy posted the above message to "KDE3 on 11.3 ??" thread instead of "So tried KDE4". 2. OK, probably I remembered incorrectly to what's quoted above before the 'became'. I am sorry for that. But it doesn't make the fact I started with untrue: When KDE4 was introduced as a replacement for KDE3 in openSUSE 11.2 it was not stable, it was full of bugs, etc. That time I tried it and experimented with it and got rid of it. According to the many messages on this list KDE4 is still not stable and still full of bugs and still dozens of features are missing that are available in KDE3. For me 'adequate replacement' means that it is as functional, as stable, as bug-free as the replaced one. The question remains: was KDE4 an adequate replacement for KDE3 whe openSUSE 11.2 was introduced? Based on these requirements, not. Telling people that KDE4 was an adequate replacement was misleading. Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
