So let me ask, what specifically would be a reason to rebuild KDE?
The dependancy change causes it to rebuild.
My question actually was "what dependency" (I can't figure it out, sorry). One of the recent KDE rebuilds seems to have been triggered by a kernel rebuild and I still don't see how KDE depends on the kernel.
I cannot remember that it was ever rebuilt for base.
What do you mean by "base"? Once an openSUSE release happens, packages don't get rebuilt unless there is an api change/fix or some other very necessary reason. And then it's done "by hand" which is how Factory also works.
I was specifically talking about the update repo (when it includes a KDE update) and no amount of other libraries changing or even kernel updates has caused KDE to be rebuilt as far as I remember. But you are saying it's all done manually in the release repos…
I rely on the dependancy chain to rebuild Tumbleweed, which causes rebuilds way more often than is "necessary". I do this to keep things "consistant" as I don't have the time/energy to manage the dependancies by hand and deal with any potential problems where I miss a rebuild.
I understand that now. So I guess I'm asking for a less simple (but stupid) dependency chain. […]
I don't know a solution for the version numbering, or the rebuilds, that doesn't take a lot of obs feature-work, or manual labor in handling package dependancies at this point in time, sorry.
OK, so SHTDI I guess (http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#SHTDI). THanks for the explanation.
