This is not the usual discussion about the OBS repository structure, but about what packages belong where within the existing structure when and why. Recently I've noticed a few things that I've been a bit unhappy with in terms of "package placement", so I brought up the subject of repo policies on the IRC meeting, and it was decided to have a discussion here on the ML instead. What I'm unhappy with is an increasing amount of development releases like BasKet, KChess, Amarok etc. in the KDE4:Community repository and in KDE:Backports - these repos are pushed to casual users via the YaST Community Repositories list, and should be kept relatively safe and conservative. But also KDE4/Qt4 apps like Screenie being in KDE:Community instead of KDE:KDE4:Community. So I think we should try to agree on some policies and rules to make things clearer for packagers and users alike. Here's my suggestion: * KDE:Backports Newer versions of apps which are part of the official distribution. Devel releases should be avoided unless there are special circumstances - e.g. the betas are known to be quite stable *and* no functional stable release exists *and* the app provides very important functionality (examples: K3b, Kaffeine, Kile). * KDE:KDE4:Community KDE4/Qt4 apps which are not part of the official distribution maintained by community volunteers. Betas should be avoided if possible unless there are special circumstances - e.g. the betas are known to be quite stable *and* no functional stable release exists. * KDE:KDE4:Playground Development releases (alphas, betas, RCs) and version control snapshots of KDE4/Qt4 apps. * KDE:Community KDE3/Qt3 apps maintained by community volunteers and which don't exist in KDE:KDE3. (Maybe this repo should be shut down and everything moved to KDE:KDE3, since KDE:KDE3 is all community maintained now anyway?)
