Factory really is the current KDE 4.3.x release. I assume that they will make a KDE_43 repository when 4.4 goes into factory. Why would there be a KDE 4.3 repo, if STABLE contains KDE 4.3 as soon as openSUSE 11.2 is released? I think what people actually ask for is a better undestandable way of naming convention... "STABLE" does not suggest what version is in there, whereas "KDE_43" is clearly understandable...
STABLE does not stand for a specific KDE version but for whatever version is shipped with openSUSE,
Yes, exactly that is the problem.
having a repo for every KDE version is too much waste of space and resources in general.
Having a STABLE directory with a 4.0 or 4.1 inside is more like a waste of space in my eyes. Those versions were never considered to be stable :-p
As an example, what should be done with :KDE42 after openSUSE 11.2 is released, should it stay forever or can it be removed? If it was removed, people would have to change their repos, if users have STABLE in their repo-list they do not have to change anything. And AFAIR most people did not want to update as often as Factory allows to.
KDE42 is a great repository for 11.0 and 11.1, and maybe for SLES11 too. I see no need to provide KDE42 for 11.2.
I assume most openSUSE users can read and hence they will find http://www.google.de/search?q=opensuse+kde. They would have to find some page with the repo name on it anyway, since nobody just knows the whole URL or whether it ends with KDE43 or KDE_43 or KDE-43 etc.
I will never find "http://www.google.de/search?q=opensuse+kde" since I never use google. So I obviously can't read, can I? Why on earth shoould I use a search machine to locate a KDE repo for openSUSE when I know that those repositories are located in http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/ Oh, I see, I am nobody, since I remember the URL. And I even remember that the base repo is KDE:/42, whereas additional repos use KDE_42 in their names :-) But why on earth should I read a long description what is hidden behind STABLE, UNSTABLE, and FACTORY, especially when this changes all few months? I'm using 11.1 now, and I do not use KDE_STABLE, because 4.1 is unusable in my eyes - YMMV, of course. I cannot use FACTORY, since here I have 4.3 - same with UNSTABLE. For me as a rare user of KDE 4.2 (I prefer 3.5.10 because of the usability) KDE42 is the best idea since the splitting up of KDE repositories ;-) Regards, Werner -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
