The timing is a bit of a bummer, 4.6.1 releases on 1st of march while opensuse 11.4 goldmaster ist on 3rd, and with the track record of not only including bugfixes in point releases I can atleast understand coolos decision.
Would be good to communicate that to the release team. My impression was that we (as in upstream KDE) have been pretty disciplined in including only bugfixes, and therefore making the point releases more suitable for downstream updates.
If that's not the case, we might as well not ship .1 versions and just ask all distros to cherry-pick their updates from master. That won't make anybody happy.
Especially for 4.6.1, there's such a large number of fixes in, that basically 11.4 is _already_ outdated if we don't ship 4.6.1.

4.6.1 is not released until the first, but it is tagged a week earlier, so you can review what is going to be included beforehand (or even just use the tagged version until the final is released). Considering all the pretty serious bug fixes that are apparently in 4.6.1, if you are that afraid of features, wouldn't it be easier to just revert the patches that include new features (if any)? The number of these should be much fewer than the ones that include bug fixes. So that would be 4.6.1 minus any new features. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
