has updated versions of applications I'm using, and I *do not want to migrate to Frameworks5 yet*, which repositories am I supposed to use?
I'll take the opportunity to clarify on Frameworks, given that there are a few mail that show that the message hasn't been fully understood. KDE Frameworks 5 are just libraries for applications to use, a modularized version of the old kdelibs 4.x. As I said earlier, KDE software is split into 3 categories: - libraries (KF5) - building blocks for the rest - workspace ("the desktop") - this is Plasma 5, and will only be default in Tumbleweed and in the newer openSUSE release (once it's out) - older versions will *keep* on using the 4.x workspace (Plasma Workspace 4.x) - applications: those make use of the libraries but can be run on any workspace (e.g. in GNOME). These three have different release schedules, and the matter from this mail is only about the applications, not the desktop. The thing is, upstream KDE has started a (slow) migration to the new libraries also for application code (the workspace, Plasma 5, is another matter entirely) and KF5-based applications are now appearing in the newer Applications releases. So the desktop will not change, but some apps will use different libraries than before. The warning was given because while 4.x apps on Plasma 5 (the new default desktop for TW and the next oS release) are well tested, KF5-based apps aren't as well tested on a 4.x workspace. This mostly involves things like icons, file pickers, etc.. (IOW, the "integration" with the current workspace). nothing about the application itself. TL;DR: no changes in desktop for openSUSE 13.2, some applications are becoming KF5 based and are replacing the old 4.x ones, behavior in Plasma Workspace 4.x is less tested than in Plasma 5. -- Luca Beltrame - KDE Forums team KDE Science supporter GPG key ID: 6E1A4E79
