Hi

When will the standard (default) opensuse repos be updated to 4.7.4. Kubuntu has already been updated to latest bug fix release of 4.7.

Thanks

Never. openSuSE never updates packages except in the case of sever security bugs. Most of the time the security fixes are back ported and made available through the update repo. However there are non-standard repos that may contain updated packages.

This is no longer true. We're relaxing that policy somewhat for .za version increments, as this is the least work to make the bug fixes available. Also consider Firefox and other Mozilla software that has come out as major version updates as another example. We'll be releasing 4.7.4 as an online update shortly. The open question is do we ship kdepim* 4.8 as well as these fix many KMail problems, and answering that comes down to testing kdepim* 4.8 vs kdelibs 4.7.

What For?

i like the sound of that very much. might make it unnecessary to (ab-)use KDF for daily use, if incremental updates come out via the Release:/ repos.

This seems to be getting far more technical, I think. can be pursued at http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kde/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
