Hello everyone!

As mentioned in the meeting's summary we made a plan on how to get stable 
default repos for the respin of the KDE live CD, which includes Openoffice, 
firefox etc. and of course KDE 4.2. The problem about this is that currently 
if the user installs the live CD, it would have to add the Factory repos, 
which will change to KDE 4.3 at some point.

Since the live CD users did not add the factory repos themselves they should 
not be bothered with finding out when they have to change them again to avoid 
KDE 4.3 betas or even alphas.

So the plan is as follows:

- Get KDE 4.2.2 in factory to a state that does not contain any critical bugs 
or regressions compared to 4.2.1.
- Create a KDE 4.2 repo by copying the files from the Factory repo. The KDE 
4.2 repo is opensuse stable, i.e. frozen. The repo will not see any 4.2.3 
version and only really, really important patches are added after the 
creation.
- Let the respin use that frozen repo.
- Post on opensuse-kde and blog about the stable repo, i.e. tell people to 
change their repos.
- Wait some weeks.
- Move KDE 4.3 to Factory.

This way users have weeks to move to the stable repo before Factory gets 
filled with KDE 4.3. The respin can use stable repos and users get the same 
experience as if 11.1 was released with KDE 4.2.

Regards

Sven
