That's what we do already. But I don't want a sloppy experience for Leap users as well.
I'm still using Kdevelop3 (though not often). Later versions have no automake support anymore ...
Regardless of that, upstream is dropping 4.x support soon.
Exactly this is what should be forbidden strictly IMO. Removing packages during LTS lifetime is a no no. Otherwise Leap is just ...
Bugs against unmaintained software may not even be fixable, and we'd have to do things all on our own. Something we can't do at the moment.
Unless someone is volounteering to handle the PIM 4.x bugs (because we won't be able to). And I mean in a proper way, not like KDE3.
whatever, but for sure no LTS. Please don't remove kpim4 or any other package from Leap.
Sorry, we want to keep maintenance *sane*.
As I said already, KDE is a bit special. That's why it was dropped from SLE. KDE upstream does not care for enterprise. Since I've learned my lesson about KDE already 10 years ago I don't use it anymore and would not install it for our staff. I wouldn't have it accepted in Leap from the beginning. However this makes it even more clear. We still need Evergreen to get rid of maintainers who upgrade and remove packages randomly. Looks like Leap will never be and not even wants to be a competitor for real LTS distros like Cent-OS, Ubuntu-LTS or Debian-LTS. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
