This is to hammer out the details of the stable KDE 4.5 repo
Thanks for working on this! I am very interested in seeing a "Current Stable KDE Releases" repo that offers official KDE 4.x and 4.x.y releases that does *not* depend on openSUSE factory and which will *not* introduce the instability of beta/dev snapshots. Thanks for your time!
a) Naming
I don't think this should go under top level KDE: since we will have other versions. Perhaps KDE:SC:45 or KDE:Release:45?
I like the idea of KDE:Release:45. Presumably this would offer 4.5.0, and then 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 as they are officially release by KDE? Then we could have KDE:Release:46 whenever 4.6.0 is officially stable.
c) Update frequency/policy
This is a question for the maintainers. Options:
*) On KDE bugfix release (4.5.1 etc) This seems safe but remember that the Akonadi PIM port is still planned to be released with 4.5, even if this is being pushed back. I am not sure that a major change to the PIM stack as an update is what Open-PC users want *) Arbitrary updates as decided by maintainers. This would allow 'good builds' to go out as updates without surprises like Akonadi PIM.
Sorry, I'm not a maintainer and I can't contribute to this project. But my personal opinion is that this should be a combination of both official KDE releases and updates as decided by maintainers. KDE has been quite conservative recently (as with the KDE PIM thing), so I think we can trust all their 4.x.y releases. Additionally, some really irritating bugs are sometimes fixed before the next KDE bugfix release comes out, so it might be good for the maintainers to have that option available to include bugfixes in midcycle. Another request: Would it be possible to include delta rpm patches in this repo to save openSUSE and the users a whole LOT of bandwidth?
