What can/should we do? a) Delivery of KDE 4.1 on media as our default KDE desktop, add some 3.5.x applications where necessary, older KDE through online repos Pros: - clear position and direction to the future - KDE 4.1 ready for the mayority of users - focus of efforts to KDE 4.1 Cons: - some users will lack certain features or habits
b) We may add again both KDEs to the DVD Pros: we offer choice and may make everybody happy Cons: - space limitations on DVD may prevent this option - maintenance and integration of 2 KDE desktops needed which the internal KDE team hardly can accomplish - we're backing a desktop which anyway won't receive much attention from upstream anymore - confusion - which KDE should I choose
Please bring up your opinion so that we're doing the right thing for openSUSE 11.1
I have used KDE 4.1 and it is still alien for KDE3 users. I wrote several bug reports, which are still unresolved, but KDE4 is a no-go. Option "B". We absolutely need to support both KDEs in this release. I spoke with Dirk Müller from openSUSE KDE team, and he agreed with many of my points. (eve through he likes KDE4, while I hate it) I would be glad if he could also join this discussion. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov"
