Maybe a bit late, but I would like to put my five cents on the table. I have been reading all the comments on the initial email from Martin and I guess the tendency is to avoid putting Beta's in Community unless proven to be stable. Maybe it would be worthwhile to think about a kind of acceptance cycle? Initially Beta's are put in the Playground repository and are available for people to try them out. If they feel that the application is stable enough for a broader audience, then this can be requested on this list. If the request is accepted, then the package can be moved to the KDE:KDE4:Community repo. On 04/02/2010 03:50 PM, Lubos Lunak wrote:
I'd like to stress one thing here. All of the repositories under KDE: are openSUSE repositories, so all of them are community repositories. Some of the ideas that were mentioned during yesterday's IRC meeting like that KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop is Novell-only are mistaken. Repositories are maintained by whoever will do the work and is trusted enough by the rest. That originally was only Novell people but that was because originally only those met the criteria. That is no longer the case.
I guess that the Community repository is more expressing that it contains packages/applications/plasmoids/utilities/etc originally created by people not belonging to the KDE project, but wanted to contribute. Of course a package can become so popular/wanted, that it becomes part of the KDE project itself. At that moment it will move from this Community repo to the standard KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop repo. So maybe we should just change the description of the repo to make everybody know what he/she can expect there ?
