And that's why at least we're not keen on auto-opening repositories for new distributions. Often packages need adjustments before doing so, and if done automatically this would just break a lot of users' software.
Not speaking specifically to KDE here ... It boils down to this: if 'you' (the maintainers) want to do all the work of those adjustments by yourselves, with minimal help from other users, then don't enable the repos to make them available for users to test. And you'll continue with the status quo -- countless, random requests to enable those repos after release, and the subsequent issues and bugs that are reported. If, OTOH, you'd like more resources/eyeballs/etc on the problems beforehand, minimizing the problems that actually migrate INTO the release, then enable the repos before, so we have something to work with. (There's also the issue of the distro/release repos themselves not being "in beta" prior to release date, but that's a different discussion/thread.) This holds true whether they're auto-enabled, or manually-enabled -- simply an issue of whether we can see/use them or not, and whether you want help or not. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
