Isn't that pointless and superfluous?
Upstream is bumping the version numbers to keep the version numbers of the individual components in sync. It would probably confuse users if we omitted those new upstream versions from packaging.
Beyond that we have a policy of rebuilding when dependencies change so even if we didn't make an update of "no code changes" the package would still be rebuilt and updated whenever other kde dependencies are so we may as well keep version numbers in sync.
We do? Where? Not in Tumbleweed at least: there we use rebuild=local and trigger stuff that loses install deps (i.e. on soname changes in pkg A, pkg B might turn uninstallable, we trigger a rebuild of B) TW has not been using OBS' default, transitive mode, for years Cheers, Dominique
