Hi!
Since December 16th Akonadi and (at least) kmail for many users are close to unuseable due to bugs in the akonadi ecosystem, e.g. see here: https:// bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374734 .
I'd like to suggest to go back to the last stable version of KDE Applications, which probably was 16.08.*. I'd really like get rid of this (16.12.*) akonadi version and we can't expect a patch soon, because if patching were easy, six weeks would have been enough to patch it.
Then I've had a look into the bug list of kdepim here:
https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kdepim-bugs/2017-January/thread.html
This is plainly alarming. So I had a look at earlier months' bug list, which didn't appear to have been much better. So much traffic about bugs for an basic application of the whole KDE system!
To me it seems obvious that the development is in trouble and the monthly updates may any time break a working system.
I can't and I won't blame anybody for the state of KDE. But from my point of view as a mere user, who'd like to have a more or less working computer, the poor condition of KDE Applications isn't compatible to a rolling release.
So I'd like to suggest to change the way Tumbleweed provides KDE updates: Let's only have an update to a matured version, like KDE Applications 16.08.3 was and hopefully 16.12.3 or later will be. Same for KDE Plasma and KDE Frameworks.
Sorry for my blunt words. If you, the community of openSuse, judge differently, no problem. I simply can go and install e.g. Leap. But I hope to be able to communicate my argument clearly, without offending someone: You can't call a distro a rolling release, while bugs render the email system close to unusable, for many users and many weeks.
Regards,
Alexander
Being that i am not seeing the issues as described and been on TW for a long time using every kde-pim tool avail i would suggest a comparison being done between the 'worked since i installed it' and the 'its broke most of the time' , there has to be a logical reason for some always seeing issues . I would be glad to provide what ever helps conf/log wise from the 'just works' side. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
