So every time kdelibs4 is rebuilt: - Even if it has no changes (but the KDE_VERSION_STRING in the header) the package is published for users to download - So every package that depends on kdelibs4 is rebuilt - Most of these packages get a modification because of the KDE_VERSION_STRING in the header (every app with an "About box") and so are also published for users to download
thats indeed bad. we need to remove the rebuild counter from the version string, so that build-compare does the rest.
We could save build power and bandwidth without the RPM release number in KDE_VERSION_STRING. So, why it is there? I don't see what we gain having "the KDE version defined exactly".
it was done for knowing in bugreports which kde version the user actually used (for released products). we could remove the release suffix for factory and KKFD packages, and only keep them in maintenance. that would be another solution.
