'Not belonging to the KDE project' is rather fuzzy, and I'd consider that to be a quite unsuitable rule for repository organization anyway. It's currently not the case anyway, KKFD is 'what is in o:F', so it includes also e.g. kde-apps.org stuff if it's worthwhile.
So there is a place for second repo, which would be 'what is not in o:F' and contain stuff that would be worth placing at least there. But 'Community' is not a good name for that. Additionally, since it is provided in Yast, I would really expect at least some assurance of quality there[*]. How does KDE:KDE4:Community actually currently work? The repo-wide maintainer list is pretty long and I don't know many of those people, to me it looks like it's some free-for-all repo. Or are others here really fine with providing such a repo in Yast?
I think it's very important to have the repo and offer it via yast - no matter what it's called. It enables us to provide more packages as well as new ones appearing with very little hassle for users - like e.g. Synaptiks[*] which didn't exist in time for 11.2 but fills a gaping hole in the kde package set. Therefore having such a repo in yast is a huge asset to the distro - especially from a casual user point of view. We just need a bit of guidelines and some packager discipline to make it a little less messy and risky. And it needs a bit of janitorial work - with kcm_touchpad and plasma-theme-air which should both clearly be removed being my current favourite annoyances. I'm considering looking into whether such janitorial work is managable for someone with my very limited skillz. [*] However the adding of synaptiks to factory seems to have meant it has disappeared from Community and therefore is currently not built for 11.2+4.3.x users :-( -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
