The LTS repository is for development and packaging of updates that go to Leap, since it will *only* contain Long Term Support software (e.g. Plasma 5.8 only and KDE Frameworks 5 5.26). It's also built against Qt 5.6, which ships in Leap.
The other repository is what is used for development and packaging of regular packages that will also end up in Tumbleweed.
In short, the main difference is that KDE:Frameworks5:LTS will stay at Plasma 5.8.x (which is LTS and will get bugfix updates for ~18 months), while KDE:Frameworks5 will move on to Plasma 5.9 (and further) when that gets released. But for KDE:Frameworks5 you'd also need KDE:Qt5 which gets newer Qt5 releases (5.7.1 at the moment). So, the more stable variant is :LTS, but it's probably not worth it if you use Leap 42.2 as you should get the bugfixes as update anyway. If you want to get new features and always have the latest versions (and are not afraid of things breaking in case of major upgrades), you should rather use KDE:Frameworks5 (and KDE:Qt5). Hope that helps. Kind Regards, Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
