Hi fellow packagers of KDE:Extra, I'd like to propose building against 13.2:Update instead of the plain 13.2 repo for the following reasons:
I added the KDE:Extra repo to my setups for updated apps. With the updates pushed into the 13.2:Update channel though, I get some problems due to the fact that KDE:Extra is built against the (outdated) libs from 13.2:standard.
E.g. I encountered the following bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344096
Also, e.g. digikam now builds with the old libkface2 instead of the bundled libkface3 or the one available through 13.2:Update thus missing several improvements made here.
Building against 13.2:Update would require users to install the updates in order to use this repo. However, I'd vote against keeping a plain 13.2 repo because I guess whoever uses KDE:Extra to get updated apps also has the system updates enabled ;)

thanks for the change However, can someone explain why the digikam build still pulls libkface- devel-4.4.0-9.1 instead of libkface-devel-14.12.1-2.1 which should _both_ be available in 13.2:Update? https://build.opensuse.org/build/KDE:Extra/openSUSE_13.2/x86_64/digikam/_log The spec file should be correct in this regard: %if 0%{?suse_version} > 1310 BuildRequires: libkface-devel %endif Regards Nico
