IMHO the answer to "what went wrong" is that not enough people knew about the problem. But unless somebody has a plan to foment people watching kde-maintainers I can't think of anything to fix it.
I don't buy that since openSUSE KDE devs, i.e. people that should be on kde- maintainers, accepted the fix into KDF, updated the links to KR48 and so on and hence knew about it. Some of them even commented on the report. Lack of time? There was no need to find out what the solution to the bug is, no need to code – just the one step of creating a maintenance request from the available submit request. So watching is not the problem. Lack of self-motivation in combination with a lack of time to work on KDE would be my guess – and explain the current situation, including this incidence. Since that situation won't change – unless management dedicates somebody to have a KDE-only job – one should simply acknowledge the current situation and adapt the maintenance model accordingly, i.e. no backporting, just packaging in obs and distributing those packages as official. That way the community contribution to obs and upstream efforts to fix bugs are send directly to openSUSE users without any need to backport/patch/create official patches and submitting them to the maintenance team etc. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
