There will likely be an official update to 4.4.5 after a month or two after openSUSE's 11.3 release (delivered as regular update for 11.3 and KDE:/STABLE for 11.2 etc.).
That is currently not planned.
Strange change of mind compared Will's 11.2/4.3 announcement last December when he wrote how beneficial putting the regular SC update into the repos is (quoting an excerpt):
- 4.3.4 is the final planned release in the KDE 4.3 series and will therefore have the longest shelf life. It will be easier to apply future fixes from the KDE 4.3 branch to 4.3.4 packages than to 4.3.1 packages.
- We are aware that any version update has the potential to include regressions, but:
- 4.3.4 is a point release with only bugfixes and translation updates
- we've seen a lot of use of the KDE:43 repo from 11.2 users without a lot more bugs
- other distributions have already shipped 4.3.2 and are going to push point releases as online updates as well
- we have to do the work for SLED 11 SP1 anyway, so shipping the same with SLED 11 SP1 and 11.2 online update will benefit both, and will in fact reduce the amount of work required
We have consulted the openSUSE maintenance team, who were in favour of this move. The online update will take place after a period of testing 4.3.4 on 11.2 in KDE:KDE4:STABLE:Desktop.
The sole drawback to this that we're aware of is that this will be a large online update download; we hope you will agree the benefits will be worth it.
The sole drawback for users. Anyway, as I said, if you don't like it, you're welcome to take care of the additional repository that will host 4.4.4. -- Lubos Lunak openSUSE Boosters team, KDE developer l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
