I was reading with interest the thread on the KDE 4.8.4 repo, and one of the things that stuck to me most was that I don't fully understand how the repository system works.
The packages are actually written/developed for/in KDE:Distro:Factory (KDF).
KDE:Release:48 (KR48) contains links to certain revisions from KDF - which in theory should mean KR48 would be less bumpy than KDF.
However judging by 90% of the traffic on this list or in the #opensuse-kde IRC channel, KR48 is consistently broken, either because some "linkrev" didn't get updated, or because something got published prematurely or something else went wrong.
The Build Service tells you who has maintainer powah on projects:
KDF https://build.opensuse.org/project/users?project=KDE%3ADistro%3AFactory
KR48 https://build.opensuse.org/project/users?project=KDE%3ARelease%3A48
Of course if you're interested in helping out, you can get some powah yourself fairly easily.
I would love to help out, but I don't think I have the expertise to be able to do so. My experience in programming is quite limited. -- G.O.
