people would like to keep KDF building for the current openSUSE version and I guess we can find the setup that the minor releases are only build for the current openSUSE version in the KRXY repo's and that we enable the builds in KDF as soon as we have the Beta for the upcoming KDE Release.
Maybe some clarification of the difference between the proposed KDE:Release:xy (and maybe KDE:Unstable:SC) and the current KDE SC (and KDF) repos. If the users can get the equivalent of the current KDE SC from KDE:Release:xy, will that satisfy their expectations?
KDE:Release:XY These repositories will contain the latest minor release of the KDE desktop version X.Y.
KDE:Unstable:SC will be the repository where git snapshots of the upcoming KDE desktop version can be found.
KDE:Distro:Factory will be the repository where the stable KDE Desktop release will be build for Factory.
Currently the release 4.11.2 can be found in KDE:Release:411 build for 12.3 and also in KDE:Distro:Factory for 12.3 Therefore the proposal was that we no longer build for the current openSUSE version in KDE:Distro:Factory. When the Beta for KDE 4.12 is being released, KDE:Distro:Factory will be updated to this Beta. Question is now if at that point we should enable building for 12.3 or to create already KDE:Release:412 and start building there for 12.3.
IMHO "Beta" and "Release Candidate" are "offical upstream releases" and thus would get their place in KDE:Release:XY but keep a "b[num]" or "rc[num]" in their version strings to separate them from the final versions, e.g. kde4libs-4.12.00b1-1.1.src.rpm In the same view, I see KDE:Distro:[OSS-release] just as a symbolic link to the corresponding KDE:Release:XY/[OSS-release]. KDE:Distro:Factory takes a special role, as it is the staging ground / devel project for KDE in OSS_Factory To keep the KDE:Unstable outside the KDE:Release tree makes sense, less DAU that way for sure. Yes, one could argue that is is KDE:Release:Next, but that is inviting trouble we do not need, ne? For me, the KDE:Unstable:SC tree is the playgroud for KDE development in openSUSE / SUSE but not the staging ground for Factory, that is what KDE:Distro:Factory is for. What target to enable in KDE:Unstable:SC is a seperate discussion, I'd limit that to OSS-current, and Factory-Snapshot/milestone/beta/RC to limit the number of rebuilds. ATM builds for a full Distro repo take more than a day, no sense in heaping inherently unsafe to use combinations (e.g. OSS_Factory) onto a in itself unstable devel ground as KDE:Unstable:SC. Where do the shown errors come from? How many would be willing to test run that daily on their real HW, not just a VM? -- Not enough to justify the OBS time for that. -- That's my 2ct on that.
