With 4.13 on the close horizon, we got the question again if the KDE:Release:XY are really such a good idea as that this would mean that users constantly have to switch and also these repo's are not always build against all openSUSE versions.
We got the proposal to move to a single repository named KDE:Latest which holds the latest KDE release and is build against all supported openSUSE releases. This means that if a user wants to track the latest KDE releases, he/she only have to add this repository for his openSUSE release version and from that moment onward every new release is automagically delivered.
I amfine with that. On my machines I usually use the latest version and it would be nice to have no additional work with those.
From time to time I use KDE:Distro:Factory, too. But in this case I am fine with having some additional work.
Downside is that the user no longer has a choice which KDE release. The only choice is whether to stay with the KDE release coming with the openSUSE release (and the possible maintenance updates) or to switch to the KDE:Latest repo.
There are some people who like to use older KDE versions. Those mostly match those who like to stay with older openSUSE-Version, too, what multiplies the work neccessary to keep those Repos working.
On the other hand it would be getting ride of a lot of repositories and maintenance work.
IMO the latest und next for the last two openSUSE Releases would be sufficient.
So we would like to have your feedback if we should stay with the current approach (KDE:Release:XY and KDE:Distro:Factory) or to move to KDE:Latest (which tracks the latest and highest release, building for all openSUSE releases) and KDE:Distro:Factory (which would hold Beta's and RC's and builds for Factory and the latest oS release).
As that 4.13 is about to be released, we want to make the decision latest on Monday so that we can either release KDE:Latest or KDE:Release:413 with KDE 4.13
