Mailinglist Archive: opensuse-kde (249 mails)

[Raymond Wooninck <tittiatcoke@xxxxxxxxx>]

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.

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 ?
