Sven is right that people will always tend to spend their time on the area/repo that they are using as that changes there directly affects them.
guilty as charged ;) and this is the reason we should keep the number of repos to maintain down a bit Additionally, OBS currently doesn't offer an easy way to compare whole repositories with each other or get notified of base package changes. E.g. merging back the changes from KR49 into KDF is a rather big manual task and at the moment I don't have an overview of the packages that still differ. E.g. Last month, I updated digikam in KR49 but didn't push it to KDF because the merge was happening already. However, it was not pushed there and someone else updated it in KDF leaving a conflict and unnecessary double work. Same if someone else pushed a patch into KDS - I wouldn't be aware of that and would only be when I try to merge something into KDS. So, at the moment, it would be important to fix every package in KR49 to be a (fixed) link to KDF. Development would then only happen in KDF and KR49 links will be updated after a new KDE 4.x release, right? Intermediate patches in KR49 should only be accepted on a per-case basis. This way, as long as KR49 and KDF share the same KDE base version (4.9.x) development should only happen in KDF. Otherwise I lose track of the changes in all the repos. But we can discuss that at the KDE meeting hopefully taking place next week :) Nico -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
