Dear Listmates,
With 4.13 on the close horizon, we got the question again if the KDE:Release:XY are really such a good idea as that this would mean that users constantly have to switch and also these repo's are not always build against all openSUSE versions.
We got the proposal to move to a single repository named KDE:Latest which holds the latest KDE release and is build against all supported openSUSE releases. This means that if a user wants to track the latest KDE releases, he/she only have to add this repository for his openSUSE release version and from that moment onward every new release is automagically delivered.
Downside is that the user no longer has a choice which KDE release. The only choice is whether to stay with the KDE release coming with the openSUSE release (and the possible maintenance updates) or to switch to the KDE:Latest repo.
On the other hand it would be getting ride of a lot of repositories and maintenance work.
So we would like to have your feedback if we should stay with the current approach (KDE:Release:XY and KDE:Distro:Factory) or to move to KDE:Latest (which tracks the latest and highest release, building for all openSUSE releases) and KDE:Distro:Factory (which would hold Beta's and RC's and builds for Factory and the latest oS release).
As that 4.13 is about to be released, we want to make the decision latest on Monday so that we can either release KDE:Latest or KDE:Release:413 with KDE 4.13
Thank you. your openSUSE KDE Community Team
Hi, Having read all the opinions, it looks like (from my sofa :) ) this would solve most of the issues raised: old:stable with extended support that covers two oSS releases. Linked from Evergreen maybe? new:testing for next KDE release. new:factory for unstable.
