But what do they REALLY mean to the man in the street? SFA really.
Would it be presumptuous of me to ask the powers-to-be to please clearly announce when KDE 4.8 becomes available and announce in, say, opensuse-announce and even in this mail list but to also CLEARLY state what the repos are and should be added to Software Management repository list to be able to upgrade one's (12.1 system, now running KDE 4.7) to KDE 4.8?
That old song again?
The man in the street has no interest in playing around with unsupported, untested KDE packages, risking to break his system.
That is for geeks and enthusiasts. And if you can't decipher the darn wiki page which has been mentioned and explained on this list a million times at least, then you should probably just stop playing with those repos yourself.
+1
An also the Monitor pages of the repos in OBS were also mentioned several times. Everybody can have a look what the current state is https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor?project=KDE%3ARelease%3A48 https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor?project=KDE%3ADistro%3AFactory
and if publishing is enabled or not https://build.opensuse.org/project/repositories?project=KDE%3ARelease%3A48 https://build.opensuse.org/project/repositories?project=KDE%3ADistro%3AFacto ry
Everybody who is not able to do this or does not want this should stay with the plain distribution IMHO.
That may well be anything but the "man on the street" does not work and researched around for hours to find out what repo it should not take more. If anything, looks "the man on the street" yet in the wiki .... usually not even that. One must not forget that with all this "the man of the street" not a developer, not a team member or is willing to learn more about the measure. Most of the users are people who simply want to use openSUSE only, but it still does not like new versions of KDE 4.8 are willing to forego. So if we want to use openSUSE, we need to do so because the users have fun and not frustrated switch to other distributors or community projects. We do not, we must not wonder if users openSUSE / KDE assess negative and prefer to turn to Ubuntu, Mint or another.
