A big big thanks for the explanations. Which put lights on some important points about Leap 42.1.
Good to hear :)
If 42.2 is going for LTS packages, then I suppose we will see more people wanting to stay stable really going to stay stable and keep oss and perhaps just a bit of kde:extra.
That was at least the goal. The team could provide maintenance updates for mainly bugfixes and newer Applications. If this is going to work in practice has to been seen :) Plasma 5.8 is the first LTS release, that will depend on the Qt 5.6.x LTS release. But the question would be what would happen to Frameworks, as that this sits between Qt and Plasma. The promise is that Frameworks will remain backwards compatible, so it shouldn't be hard to drop a newer Frameworks release into 42.2, without the need to update Plasma. Applications are not really relying on Plasma, but more on Frameworks so hopefully this would lead to a stable desktop experience with still newer Application versions.
Your management process then for Applications and Frameworks should be easier no ?
Hopefully this would be the case. But as said it has to be seen in practice.
For the others, TW is still a good choice, if we can accelerate a bit the queue :-) My wife on Leap + KDE repo has a more newer stack of software than me on TW :-o
:) It all depends on the legal review of three newer KDEPIM libraries. Due to changes in Frameworks, the factory maintainers had to put both the Frameworks and Application updates in a single staging area. However the main issue for this staging area is the legal review :( Lets hope that this will be done soon.
