[opensuse-kde] New KDE repository layout (Final)
Based on the feedback received on the initial proposal, I would like to indicate below which changes will be done on the KDE repositories Repositories that are not mentioned, will be removed. KDE:Qt* : No changes for the KDE:Qt repositories. We are currently busy setting up the structure for the Qt 5.x builds. KDE:Release:XY The older KRXY (before KR411) will not change. KR411 will be build for 12.2, 12.3 and 13.1 and will contain only the KDE SC packages. New repositories will be set-up starting with the KDE SC Release Candidates and will be build for the current openSUSE release and the previous one. Example: KDE 4.12 RC will be available for openSUSE 13.1 and 12.3 in the KR412 repository and then will receive updates based on the released tarballs (Final, .1, .2, etc) KDE:Distro:Factory: This repository will contain only the KDE SC packages and will be the development repository for the KDE SC packages in Factory. This repository will normally only build for Factory, as that the equivalent can also be found in the KRXY repository. The only exception is that as soon as the Beta of the new KDE SC release is available, then KDF will switch to the Beta and then we will build for Factory and the current openSUSE release. (Example KDE 4.12 Beta will be build for Factory and openSUSE 13.1. This to validate the build for openSUSE 13.1 and repair build errors, before the RC will be available in KDE:Release:412. Remaining question is if we remain building for oS 13.1 in KDF after KR412 has been created or that we encourage people to switch to KR412). Your openSUSE KDE community team KDE:Extra: This repository will contain all additional applications that are not part of the KDE SC (e.g. Amarok, Konversation, Calligra). This repository will become the new development repository for those application packages that are currently in Factory. This repository will be build against all supported oS/KDE versions. KDE:Unstable:Extra: This repository will contain git snapshots, alpha's and betas of the packages in KDE:Extra. We will build against the same targets as KDE:Extra, but we will be more stricter on the lifecycle. Non-maintained packages (e.g. lower version than in KDE:Extra, build failures, etc) will be deleted from this repository on a frequest basis. KDE:Unstable:SC This repository will be the development repository for the openSUSE KDE team. It contains git snapshots of the upcoming KDE SC version and is considered as suitable for only the very experienced users. Users of the repository should expect breakage, packaging errors, non-working systems, etc. Patches and Packaging changes will be executed and validated first in this repository before implementing them in KDF. This repository will only be build for the 64bit version of Factory and the current openSUSE release. As indicated before, we are planning to execute these changes in the next two weeks. When each step is successfully completed, a status update will be send out to this mailing list. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Is there also a Wiki update somewhere in the plan? Specifically this page: http://en.opensuse.org/KDE_repositories C. -- openSUSE 12.3 x86_64, KDE 4.11 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
