[opensuse-kde] KDE 4.2 stable repo and KDE live CD respin
Hello everyone! As mentioned in the meeting's summary we made a plan on how to get stable default repos for the respin of the KDE live CD, which includes Openoffice, firefox etc. and of course KDE 4.2. The problem about this is that currently if the user installs the live CD, it would have to add the Factory repos, which will change to KDE 4.3 at some point. Since the live CD users did not add the factory repos themselves they should not be bothered with finding out when they have to change them again to avoid KDE 4.3 betas or even alphas. So the plan is as follows: - Get KDE 4.2.2 in factory to a state that does not contain any critical bugs or regressions compared to 4.2.1. - Create a KDE 4.2 repo by copying the files from the Factory repo. The KDE 4.2 repo is opensuse stable, i.e. frozen. The repo will not see any 4.2.3 version and only really, really important patches are added after the creation. - Let the respin use that frozen repo. - Post on opensuse-kde and blog about the stable repo, i.e. tell people to change their repos. - Wait some weeks. - Move KDE 4.3 to Factory. This way users have weeks to move to the stable repo before Factory gets filled with KDE 4.3. The respin can use stable repos and users get the same experience as if 11.1 was released with KDE 4.2.

I disagree, me and propably others currently using KDE4:Factory want 4.2.3 and maybe 4.2.4 (depends when 4.3 gets semi stable =)), I don't think current situation should suffer because of this step. KDE 4.2.2 can't be made opensuse stable (compared to 4.1.3) and we shouldn't advertise it that way, tell the people straight away they will keep following the 4.2 development with that. Most people jumping into the IRC chan on 4.2 day didn't get the difference between opensuse released stable kde and kde released stable kde, "what you mean 4.2 is considered unstable, kde just released it as stable", so we'd just say "here you track the kde 4.2 branch, openSUSE just offers a stable base" > - Let the respin use that frozen repo. > - Post on opensuse-kde and blog about the stable repo, i.e. tell people to > change their repos. > - Wait some weeks. > - Move KDE 4.3 to Factory. + 1, this will give everyone enough time to switch their repositories, and free Factory for 4.3 pretty early. > This way users have weeks to move to the stable repo before Factory gets > filled with KDE 4.3.

I'd suggest just using _aggregate to keep :Factory and :KDE42 in sync (to bad there is no symlink possibility, _aggregate seems to have pitfalls) and maybe try to keep the rebuilds down, Seli said a branch update takes place roughly every week, maybe just build once and then deactivate building once it's done until the next resync? I lack the technical competence here, so please correct if this idea sucks =) That KDE4.2 respin is a good way to make openSUSE "release" with a KDE4.2 in front of Ubuntu, Mandriva and Fedora and make it not look missing out a hot summer ;-) Good night, Karsten -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

In an ideal world, yes. But given the resources it is not possible to maintain two different KDE (4.2) versions, i.e. one in Factory and one in the "frozen" repo. So your choice is only: either have a stable KDE 4.2 repo, then it will be frozen and unmaintained or keep KDE 4.2 as long as possible in Factory and wait until after KDE 4.2.3 before putting KDE 4.3 into Factory, which means that the respin live CD cannot use a stable repo when installing if it is released within the next four to five weeks. If I am not mistaken it was already decided that as soon as KDE 4.3 enters Factory, there will be no more KDE 4.2 updates, as there was no KDE 4.1.4 either.
KDE 4.2.2 can't be made opensuse stable (compared to 4.1.3) and we shouldn't advertise it that way, tell the people straight away they will keep following the 4.2 development with that.
What I meant by openSUSE stable is, no version updates, just major bugs are fixed, as in STABLE. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

+1, although I will be one of the "geeks" that will stick with KDE 4.2 until the KDE project has released a stable 4.3 (at least). -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/

This way users have weeks to move to the stable repo before Factory gets filled with KDE 4.3. The respin can use stable repos and users get the same experience as if 11.1 was released with KDE 4.2.
The transition from KDE3 to KDE4 is still a bit confusing :-) It has been advised to use KDE4:Factory for better usability since KDE 4.1 is lacking some features KDE 4.2 has. Nonetheless KDE4:Factory isn't that stable KDE4:Stable is, I guess. So should I switch from KDE4:Factory to KDE 4.2 repo to regain stability when that repo appears? When will it appear?

No. The base 4.2 repo is correct, but your Playground and Community repos are the 11.1 flavours - meaning they're built against KDE 4.1.3.

Just a thought. The Community and Playground repos are now nicely organised. Why not do the same for Desktop? I.e. have a repo ".../KDE:/KDE4:/Desktop" and then under that "openSUSE_11.1_KDE4_STABLE", "openSUSE_11.1_KDE_42", etc...

Hello everyone!
As mentioned in the meeting's summary we made a plan on how to get stable default repos for the respin of the KDE live CD, which includes Openoffice, firefox etc. and of course KDE 4.2. The problem about this is that currently if the user installs the live CD, it would have to add the Factory repos, which will change to KDE 4.3 at some point.
Since the live CD users did not add the factory repos themselves they should not be bothered with finding out when they have to change them again to avoid KDE 4.3 betas or even alphas.
So the plan is as follows:
- Get KDE 4.2.2 in factory to a state that does not contain any critical bugs or regressions compared to 4.2.1. - Create a KDE 4.2 repo by copying the files from the Factory repo. The KDE 4.2 repo is opensuse stable, i.e. frozen. The repo will not see any 4.2.3 version and only really, really important patches are added after the creation. - Let the respin use that frozen repo. - Post on opensuse-kde and blog about the stable repo, i.e. tell people to change their repos. - Wait some weeks. - Move KDE 4.3 to Factory.
This way users have weeks to move to the stable repo before Factory gets filled with KDE 4.3. The respin can use stable repos and users get the same experience as if 11.1 was released with KDE 4.2.

Are there going to be one-click install packages like for the other KDE4 repositories?
I have copied the patterns for KDE:42 now but its publication is frozen by intention so it will get only published if/when KDE 4.2.3 gets published. Bye, Steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
