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).
Possibly, but can one promise with confidence security fixes for any package in openSUSE?
Well, the probabilty is much more higher that you will get updates for Firefox
Firefox is just one of about 10000 packages in openSUSE. Can you say the same about all of them?
then updates for KDE3, because it´s still in *active* development. That´s the garantee you get.
By the way, there people who are still maintaining the old KDE3-stuff (great, if you ask me) but wouldn´t it be better to switch to the Trinity project, because they will give you a much more bigger garantee that you will get fixes?
What can prevent anybody from adding patches from Trinity or any other KDE3-related project to KDE:KDE3 repository? There is nothing in Trinity that is incompatible with KDE3. So far it is Trinity that benefited from patches from openSUSE's KDE:KDE3, not other way around. And regarding your question about possibility of inclusion of Trinity, they are currently porting build system to cmake, and this has higher priority than anything else. The current release still uses autotools and the next will use cmake. Thus inclusion of current Trinity version will be obsolete work. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
