Not the only one, zypper dup attempts to downgrade chunks of KDE back to 11.4 repo now :( There's a forum thread on issue - http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/tumbleweed/463218...

Why were prerelease (RC2) packages even pushed into Tumbleweed in the first place? Seems someone is confusing the testing-purpose Factory repo with stable-only Tumbleweed... Am Sonntag 24 Juli 2011, 14:18:57 schrieb Günther J. Niederwimmer:

The issue is that K:D:F is being updated bit-by-bit to 4.7 RC2, and repository publishing is disabled during this time to avoid presenting an inconsistent set of packages to users. However Tumbleweed also links in to K:D:F packages, but noone disabled the publish flag for it. So Tumbleweed currently has an inconsistent set of packages. Someone (Tumbleweed maintainers / KDE team) needs to come up with a way to keep the publish flags of the linked packages in sync. Maybe the OBS could implement a new type of package link, something that links both the sources and the metadata/flags. Until then someone from KDE team needs to make sure Greg K-H knows he is supposed to disable publish of KDE packages at certain times.

Which Packman apparently is building against to... it is having knock on consequences at the weekend when Packman packagers tend to find time to update things.. Surely Tumbleweed is meant to only acquire Factory packages deemed "stable", it's not that the packages are inconsistent during the update to 4.7 RC2, but that Tumblweed is picking up the Factory updates at all. Even if KDE Factory was ready & consistent, upgrading KDE 4.6 to 4.7 RC2 would seem against Tumblweed policy.

Tumbleweed is normally linked to the stable KR46 But you know what : sometimes shit happens. Packagers are already looking why some package like kde4-runtime try to have a 4.6.95 (kde4.7rc2) version -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Ambassador GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Any news on planned way out of the KDE update problem that occured in Tumbleweed, that can be passed on via forum? Tumbleweed seems to have attracted some distro-hoppers who aren't (yet) developers, who say nice things like "just about the same versions as Fedora but much more stable". This seems like a good thing, long term and some timely statement would likely be appreciated rather than leaving it to speculation. There were some questions already yesterday.
