Hi, Since KDE 3.1.4 is a security update prompted originally by a posting to suse-security, I thought it worthwhile to cross-post this question to suse-security. Why have KDE 3.1.4 SuSE RPMs not yet appeared? Why is there no security advisory? Are the security vulnerabilities fixed in some other way in SuSE 8.2?

Leopardi" To: suse-kde@suse.com Hi all, I agree with Charles. 3.1.4 is a security update as well as a bug fix. KDE: http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20030916-1.txt I don't understand why nobody on the suse-security mailing list has taken up the issue of the lack of KDE 3.1.4 RPMs, especially since the problem was originally noticed by a subscriber to suse-security: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-security/2002-Dec/0101.html Other distros have sent security advisories and created binaries for download: Mandrake:MDKSA-2003:091 http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/advisories/advisory.php?name=MDKSA-2003:091 RedHat:RHSA-2003:270 http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA-2003-270.html Debian:DSA-388-1 http://www.debian.org/security/2003/dsa-388 So, why not SuSE?

I doubt we are going to see a set of KDE 3.1.4 packages anytime soon because they are "working on 9.0" or something.

I am pretty unhappy with the situation. If 3.1.4 is only a small feature enhancement update then I can live with the status quo, but 3.1.4 contains security fixes therefore SuSE versions should be made available. I can of course compile them from the pristine source, but then I will loose some of the integration with SuSE.
