When some issue of some significance is brought to my attention, which I cannot fix myself, I'll make some noise and call in the cavalry. And it hasn't been very hard getting people to help.
E.g. I got cartman to fix missing last.fm support in Amarok 2.4.3 after a user reported the issue and the other day tittiatcoke backported digikam 2.2 to 11.4 after some problems were reported on the mailing list (can't build on 11.3 cuz of marble dependency according to titti).
11.4 + 2.2 was reported to cause symbol lookup errors. I forwarded the email to this list and there was no answer yet. It was originally reported on the digikam-users list, so can I state there that this issue was fixed, i.e. it pulls-in whatever deps it needs?
So the state of KUA is not that bad imho. Unless of course users expect every single KDF package to be backported to old, old releases, but in that case it's them that have a problem, not KUA.
Yes and no. The latest version available makes sure that all bugs including security issues that are known upstream are also fixed downstream. So therefore yes. I think Cristian pointed this out elsewhere. Digikam for example bundles its libs, so there is no need to backport it. In case something really cannot be build the answer is obvious.
