As you might have noticed already, we have a lot of duplication when it comes to KDE applications. These are build in all kind of repositories and sometimes it is hard to find out which repository to use for which openSUSE or KDE desktop version.
Therefore the openSUSE KDE community team would like to make the following proposal :
KDE:Release:XY These repositories will contain the latest minor release of the KDE desktop version X.Y. When the repository is created, the build targets would be the current and previous openSUSE version. Maintenance updates for the current openSUSE version will be delivered from these repositories. The repository will only contain the KDE Desktop software and updates of system libraries if required to make it build.
KDE:Extra: This repository will become our main application repository. All application software will be moved into this repository and it will be build for all supported KDE and openSUSE versions/combinations. This means that KDE:UpdatedApps is no longer required as that updated versions will be delivered through the KDE:Extra repository. Initially the target was to rename the repository to KDE:Apps, but keeping the old name would cause less confusion in our opinion.
seems reasonable and having only the two combinations is way better than the unnecessary duplication we had in some of the packages before which probably let to several packages in KUA being unmaintained it only makes sense to have the same structure in KDE:Unstable as mentioned...
KDE:Distro:Factory will be the repository where the stable KDE Desktop release will be build for Factory. The stable release will be replaced by the Beta release for the upcoming release as soon as this one becomes available. This repository will be build only for openSUSE:Factory.
ok, this pretty much seems like the way KDF is used nowadays, too - I would propose leaving the build for the current openSUSE version (now 12.3) enabled though to widen the range of users for testing the new packages (same argument as last time when we decided to keep 12.3) Nico
