[opensuse-factory] Shifting the Leap 42.2 release schedule a bit
Hi, Upstream KDE Plasma developers have announced Plasma 5.8 as LTS release which comes handy for a stable release like Leap. Unfortunately the original schedule was a bit too late for us. So after some discussions the Plasma 5.8 release was moved two weeks earlier to give us a chance to have it in 42.2. I don't feel comfortable with 5.8 dot zero in 42.2's default desktop though. I'm quite sure there will be important bugs to fix once exposed to the general public. Therefore I'd like to move the Leap release schedule two weeks later so we can have at least 5.8.1 + potential backported fixes. That means - relabel RC1 to Beta3 on Oct 6th - new RC1 will be Oct. 10th - RC2 Nov 2nd - GM Nov 10th - Release at Nov 16th cu Ludwig [1] https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/plasma-devel/2016-August/057731.html -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I've always rathered November releases be closer to USA Thanksgiving (including after) than to Halloween anyway, so: +1 October is for getting put-off outside projects done, after the summer heat has become a memory. The less indoor temptation, the more that will actually get done outside. :-) -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
