[opensuse-kde] Heads-up on KDE Applications 17.04
Hi everyone! KDE released KDE Applications 17.04 two days ago. They decided (wrongly, in my opinion) a while ago to move tons of files containing translations from a separate archive into the main packages. This got executed between the beta and the release candidate. Not only did this cause additional work for us packagers, which delayed the initial packaging of the beta in the devel repo (KDE:Applications), but the current state is even worse: Due to license incompatibilities of some translations (GPL translations in LGPL applications) most of the applications are currently stuck in the legal queue. We have several options to fix this, but any one of those will take a while. I assume it will take over a week to get the affected packages into Factory and 42.3. You can find some of the threads discussing the matter with upstream on https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/release-team/2017-April/thread.html Sorry for the inconvenience!

You're right fight seems over exagerate word, especially in this case ;-) -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch Bareos Partner, openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
