KDE:Extra is primarily intended to have only packages with a released version/tarball. KDE:Unstable:Playground is the repo that would hold git/svn snapshots, alpha's, beta's, etc. As that K:U:P is not really suited for the normal user, the agreement was made that KDE:Extra could have exceptions where a snapshot, alpha or beta would be allowed. However this was and will always be a case by case basis. If you believe that a certain package should be part of this exception, then you can put the question up on the IRC channel #opensuse-kde or on this mailinglist. In the past the main unofficial approver for these exceptions was Martin Schlander (cb400f) :-)

That was my understanding as well, but I was specifically told to bring this up with the mailing list by Christophe, so I am doing so. If I understand him correctly, he is under the impression that exceptions are not allowed and that those packages should be removed. Hence the reason why I thought this should be clarified.
It is my opinion that kphotoalbum should be an exception, for two reasons: 1. It is actively maintained in git but has not seen a stable release in nearly 2 years 2. The stable realase does not build for openSUSE 12.1+ while the git version does.
Actually I don't think we discussed the matter for KDE:EXtra - only for KDF. But it seems natural to me that the same rules should apply for both. Namely that non-officially-released software is allowed if: 1) It's known to be relatively stable and functional 2) No stable, reliable, "1:1 replacement" doing the same job exists -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
