Maybe a KDE4:Release or KDE4:SUSEStable or something.
Thats an interesting point, which makes me wonder why you suggest it. I'm interested in why you think that way. We've thought about this, and decided differently, for (among the) following reasons:
With the current repo layout "Stable" means "official release by KDE" and "Unstable" means "KDE development version". I also believe the gnomer repos use "stable" and "unstable" in the sense of what's released officially upstream or not. So it's clear there'll be some confusion, when it's changed for KDE to mean stable/unstable SUSE packages. However I agree 100% with the intentions of making it clearer to people that running latest KDE packages from the BS should be considered a somewhat risky thing, even if it's an official release by KDE. People don't get that packaging KDE properly is not a trivial thing. They even think Kubuntu can do it. Maybe you could try and convince the gnome devs to use a similar structure? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e- mail: opensuse- kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e- mail: opensuse- kde+help@opensuse.org Actually i am a bit surprised. Because from earlier discussion i was under the impression that the Plan was to go with KDE4 in 11.0 despite it not being feature complete and then give an easy upgrade path for 4.1 when it is released. So apparently this has changed now. Why? I am thinking that a lot of people using KDE4.0 want to upgrade to 4.1 when it is released, so in my opinion it would be appropriate to put a bit of effort into making sure it works in 11.0 after it is released. Because most users are not able to judge the risk of using the 11.1 Factory repo. If I'm wrong please correct me.
