"openSUSE staff" is the community. It's not SUSE/Novell.
I guess (but I don't know, since I've not followed things there) that the point is that KDE3 is not officially supported by the project, mostly because nobody wants to promise anything about security fixes and stability (people working on it will do their best, though).
Or the other way round ... if there are community packagers keeping it alive it could also live in Factory and the openSUSE releases...
Ciao, Marcus
Marcus,
One thing that's not clear to me is the relationship between factory and the DVD.
My impression is that anything with community support and a lack of legal issues can get into factory, but that the DVD is limited by size, so some subset of factory is actually used to make the ISOs.
And the most popular stuff goes on the DVD. The DVD has 4.5 GB. Coolo decides what goes on. We are already limiting ourselves to popular languages, desktop and server packages...
Can you clarify that?
fyi: if adding kde3 back into factory does not cause something else to be kicked out, I think it should be. I think the community packager(s) has proven he is willing to support it to some extent.
Adding KDE3/Trinity to Factory will not kick anything out. Adding KDE3/Trinity to the DVD would kick other stuff out from the DVD...
