To me that means that packagers should not break KDE:Frameworks5. KDE:Applications and KDE:Extras are a different matter, of course.
Everything in any devel project (which all of the KDE: projects are) should be considered as Experimental Anything in a devel project which is also called Unstable, should be considered even more Experimental You should not expect anything in a devel Project to always work, period. That does not negate the fact that if people want to mess around building their own distribution by taking experimental stuff on their stable system, they can do so - that is what we have documented on the wiki. But be under no illusion that when you do that, you're building a system that is going to be less tested, less reviewed, and logic dictates, less reliable than Tumbleweed.
Tumbleweed on the other hand, as an official openSUSE: OBS project, has layers of code review (at least 4 eyes/2 persons), additional legal review, and levels of automated auditing and testing unrivalled by any other rolling release out there.
While that might be true, there is (at least to my knowledge) no official NVIDIA rpm for Tumbleweed, which is my personal dealbreaker.

It is always provided on a "it should always work" basis. It is not experimental.
It is not the problem of the project or the KDE packagers if you refuse to accept this and instead use their development repositories to install software in a less optimal arrangement than the one they expend a great deal more effort on ensuring in openSUSE Tumbleweed.
Let me point it out again: I am *not* installing from KDE:Unstable:*. I am installing KDE/Plasma from the officially suggested repositories as noted on the SDB page about Plasma5.
Let me point it out again - you're installing less tested, less reviewed, packages from an experimental repository who's primary function is preparing software for use in Tumbleweed. If you always expect it to work on Leap, or any other distribution of your choice, you need the sort of help I cant provide via a mailinglist. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
