KDE 4.9 Beta 1 was released today. This is interesting timing for us, because openSUSE 12.2 is already in version freeze. Without this constraint, we would land the beta in KDE:Distro:Factory and prepare it for the next openSUSE release, but 12.2 will be released with KDE version 4.8.4 (motto: stability and polish, remember?). However, we pride ourselves in providing packages of KDE releases, so I expect that we'll have a KDE:Release:49 repo on 4.9 release day (Thu Aug 2). The question is how to prepare for this release, since we are using KDF already for 12.2 development Do we create KR49 repo in advance and package tarballs there, do we use KUSC snapshots right up until release day, or do we use KDE released tarballs as KUSC sources? This would be my preferred technique, as this provides testing of prerelease milestones, rather than arbitrary snapshots from git. It also does not add additional load to the team or OBS. I don't want to make any extra work for ourselves either - a good 12.2 has to be priority. Neither will we ship 4.9 *somehow* with 12.2, so don't ask :).
