Does that imply you also want to ship KRxx as official updates to the distribution?
Meaning that every casual non-KDE fanboy user - including my mother - would be burdened with 500 megs of updates every 2-4 weeks with regressions and changed behaviour - unless of course the user stops using openSUSE and/or KDE.
This would only be true if updates would be forced on users. Yet as they are optional it is every users' choice to update or not. openSUSE would just change the default from "hardly any updates at all because nobody backports" to "regular bugfix releases". Same old, same old killer argument about regressions. When was the last one and what did it take to fix it? I remember nvidia. What else? 12.1 never got kdepim 4.7.4 and probably never will. That is a real issue and burden which would not have happened if that killer argument was not used to fight away the community effort to offer bugfix releases.
Or does it mean you don't want to have a place to test official KDE patches at all?
You assume that there are patches and you assume that those are tested. My claim: if anything is put in there it is either never shipped or shipped some time after it was put in there. Check 12.1's history. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
