[opensuse-kde] KDE:Current for oS 13.2?
Hi everyone, I wonder if there are plans to make KDE:Current available for users of openSUSE 13.2 and/or Factory. KDE:Extra already has a repo for 13.2 and Factory. Can someone please tell me, or did I touch a bad point here? :) Regards, Werner --

More information around the repositories will follow, but it wouldn't make sense to enable KDE:Current for openSUSE 13.2. KDE:Current will not offer any other KDE version as that will be offered with openSUSE 13.2 and the standard maintenance updates. KDE:Current has as purpose to build the latest KDE release for those openSUSE repositories that otherwise will not receive it. e.g. openSUSE 13.1 was shipped with 4.11 and those users would never get KDE 4.14 without KDE:Current. Factory/Tumbleweed will be updated as normal and will always have the latest KDE release. openSUSE 13.2 was shipped with the latest KDE 4 release and will receive maintenance updates.

Raymond, thank you very much for pointing that out. Hm, I am not sure that Tumbleweed contained KDE 4.14.2, but I'm not the expert here :) However, 13.2 does contain this KDE version, and since I understand that there will not be a 4.15, KDE:Current might not be needed. What about 4.14.3? ;) Since I'm a Tumbleweed user, I switched my repos for the time being to the Factory ones, and now I only have some problems with the KDE versions (package numbers rather than KDE versions) in the repo. But this will vanish soon, I guess. The "current" repos should point to 13.2, but they don't, there are patches from last december :( Regards, Werner --

KDE 4.14.3 will appear in KDE:Current for openSUSE 12.3 and 13.1 users. openSUSE 13.2 users will receive it as a maintenance update and Factory/Tumbleweed users get it through the normal process.

I hope you are aware that the whole Tumbleweed principle is changing .There will be no separate Tumbleweed repository and Tumbleweed will be a full blown distro that is constantly being updated. So there is little need to enable specific update repositories, etc as that everything is within Tumbleweed. Updates to KDE will land in Factory (as the normal devel process) and from there they will be published in Tumbleweed as soon as those updates have passed the quality process.

Thanks, Raymond, I read that, even before I posted, but I got confused with the automatic creation of an update repo during the upgrade from Tumbleweed based on 13.1 to Tumbleweed based on 13.2 (which I did by YaST2 instead of "zypper dup"). This new repo was created with URL http://download.opensuse.org/update/20141102-non-oss/, so I thought that the update repos were only forgotten on that SDB page, since the TW installation introduced at least one. Now that Dimstar stated on the Factory mailing list that this was an unwanted occurrence, I know better... And AFAIR those "current-update" repos were created especially for TW users. As with additional repos: some were renamed from openSUSE_Factory to openSUSE_Tumbleweed, some vice versa. I grin and wait until everything is settled. All in all, it was a remarkable easy upgrade, and the last one for quite a while, as I hope :) Regards, Werner --
