So a +100 to have all of them rebuild together. There's oss+update in case, and a old KDE:Extras can be redone if neededd ?
We stopped providing updates to Leap 42.1 as that the Qt5 version in Leap was too old for Frameworks/Applications. An update of Qt5 itself could have quite some consequences and the target was also that Qt5 was a package that was supported from the SLE side and not from the openSUSE side.
Yes, the additional repositories (Frameworks/Qt5/Applications) could be installed, but the question would also be if the newer Qt5 packages would cause any issues to the rest of the system. I noticed that some packages were already indicated which could have problems and I am not sure if YaST would still work with a newer Qt5 version than it was build against.
Maybe it works, but it could as well backfire and cause an unstable system.
I guess this will also prepare the future for 42.2
No, The targets for 42.2 are completely different and here we are targeting to have the LTS version for Qt5 and Plasma. This should prevent the above situation, unless users are demanding that the LTS version of Plasma (which is Plasma 5.8) is not sufficient and that they want to have e.g. Plasma 5.10 with newer features. However for those cases we can only offer the KDE:Frameworks/KDE:Applications repositories, which would be build against Leap 42.2

Hello Raymond, A big big thanks for the explanations. Which put lights on some important points about Leap 42.1. So for 42.1 which should be EOL in April I guess there's not that much hope without making you, our beloved kde packagers completely crazy. (yeah I know but kde is a shorten way of QT, plasma, frameworks, Applications packagers :-) If 42.2 is going for LTS packages, then I suppose we will see more people wanting to stay stable really going to stay stable and keep oss and perhaps just a bit of kde:extra. Your management process then for Applications and Frameworks should be easier no ? Or in 6-8 months the same corner case situation will emerge. For the others, TW is still a good choice, if we can accelerate a bit the queue :-) My wife on Leap + KDE repo has a more newer stack of software than me on TW :-o -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch Bareos Partner, openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
