Problem is that KDE insiders know what is KDE 4.7 all synonyms used for it in particular point in time, but ordinary KDE users don't. I think that any version will start in Unstable, go trough Factory to Updated Applications, or release. On the other side is Extra Applications repo that has software that is not provided in above repos. Above naming is openSUSE specific, and it took quite some time to convince insiders and get repo that is named by version so that users can use knowledge about KDE that they learned in other places on the Internet. For instance one that wants to switch from another KDE distro to avoid some bugs, will want to know which version we have, as she/he knows from kde.org where is bug resolved. Without repo that is named by version, only few KDE insiders can give that information, and that often ends in no information at all, as they are busy doing something else. Experienced users, and even active on some other part of openSUSE, don't have time to follow all details how certain version moves trough KDE repos, so they are in almost the same position as majority of openSUSE users. The only advantage they have is that they know where to look for information, but that doesn't mean they will have time to look around, ask insiders, and provide info to those asking for it. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
