to the other repositories. With the new snapshot 4.5.62 a couple of them have already been moved to KDE:Unstable:Playground. These are the packages for Amarok, Choqok, Konversation and Rekonq. I also updated these applications to their respective latest svn/git snapshots.
I stated this before, but this really concerns me. When we get around to beta/RC stage of KDE SC, people will be able to use a mostly stable KDE SC, but they will be forced to use it with perhaps the pre-alpha level versions of popular programs like amarok that will be found in the playground repository. This could very well be the case for any KDE-based software that does not synchronize with KDE SC release cycle. I think people using the unstable repository need to have a way to install stable versions of KDE software that is not part of KDE SC, or there will be a very serious risk of making the Unstable repository nearly much unusable in practice (since no remotely stable version of key software will necessarily be available).
Since no users of Unstable seemed to participate in the IRC meetings where the repo layout was decided, I tried to ask these questions on your behalf, expecting that this would become a problem. The answer: Unstable:SC users should be able to use the packages from KDE:UpdatedApps - and the base distro I guess - to get stable versions of NON- SC apps. As these packages generally should be "forward compatible". -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
