What repo can I use to install the recent stable kde sc as it is released from kde?
There is _no_ single repo, which allows this. It depends on the time in the openSUSE development circle, as it was explained several times already.
I somehow guessed this will be the answer to my question.
And I can give you a reason why in my opinion such a repo should not be created.
It does not only mean work to create such a repo, it also means additional work regarding bug reports.
I got your point and I really understand this problem regarding the bug reports. But nevertheless I think there should be something like a "stable factory" repo. Something like a snapshot of the factory repo in which a user can update and be sure that kde will start. I mean if someone is updating the system most often it is because he or she is annoyed of some small bug that exists in the current version and (maybe) this bug is gone in a more recent one. Isn't it what the monthly updates from kde are for? So there should be the possibility to do such an update. But there is the chance to install the recent version from factory at a bad time. A moment when some bigger changes by the opensuse developers are doing more harm than good. Don't get me wrong, in the end everything will be fine. It's just the small time period when it is not wise to install the recent factory packages. This is the point I want to make. As a non developer who is working on the factory packages you have no chance to see such a situation coming. So why not have an separate factory repo that have a copy of some "stable" state of the original factory repo? This snapshot could be done once a month, e.g. after a new kde release.
