- Create a KDE 4.2 repo by copying the files from the Factory repo. The KDE 4.2 repo is opensuse stable, i.e. frozen. The repo will not see any 4.2.3 version and only really, really important patches are added after the creation.
I have been watching and discussing the proposed repository layout for a while. And I believe with the new release schedule for openSUSE the KDE repo should be simple and look something like: KDE:/{Stable,Release,Factory} Where Stable is the current openSUSE version. Where Release (or something that defines a release from KDE) is the latest version from KDE such as 4.2.2 now. Where Factory is the next openSUSE version. Users should have no problem using Release and it switching from 4.2.4 to 4.3.0 as long as it is the latest release from KDE, right? With Release users will never miss a release from KDE (and that's what they want). Let's really try to keep this simple and avoid version number labeled repositories. That really was the original intention of Stable, Factory, and Unstable, wasn't it? Therefore, the spins could just point to Release. This way Release is always the latest from KDE. At times there will be overlapping between the repositories but this is acceptable. On the other hand right now Stable would be openSUSE 11.1 patched packages, Release would be KDE 4.2.2 packages, and Factory would be whatever openSUSE 11.2 will be using. This way openSUSE KDE testing could always be done in Factory and bleeding edge KDE users can always use Release. -- Marc Benstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
