Especially for something like KDE - a core component, *and* 4.3.1 is a bug fix release, not a new-feature release.
It'd be kind of embarrassing for 11.2 to ship with 4.3.1, IMO.
While I have not used 4.3.2 yet, I understand well what kind of differences the minor version bumps can bring (esp with the kde 4 series). I also firmly believe that the failure to adopt the inconveniently timed stable releases upstream is masochistic and a down right disservice to users of all ranges. And by cherrypicking patches you're just going to make it harder to report bugs to upstream and communicate with developers. This policy developed to help the QA and stablization is down right ridiculous at times and there should be things that are whitelisted albeit with distro side evaluation of course. But don't fail to include it just because something didn't line up with your artificial deadlines. And while something is better than nothing, another repository under KDE:/ for people like me is not the kinda solution I want to see. You're OpenSUSE, right? Be different from the rest, just like you say you are. -Jason -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
