Hi Pino, thanks for sharing your concerns. But can you elaborate somewhat more on a few things?

Picking a random one https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/ plasma519/Debian_Testing/ I find source packages in there. Not sure if apt-get can handle the directory structure though. > - blogs filled with untrue facts and on the borderline of insults Can you list the major facts which you consider untrue? > How does an "open mind" motivate you to work on this?

It seems you are insulted by Norbert (or anybody else) providing uptodate KDE releases and some users who have a need for new releases using them. For me it seems there are packages from the Debian KDE team which are high quality, but often somewhat outdated. Then there are Norbert's packages which are uptodate but likely(?) lower quality. It would be surprising if one person would be able to just provide better packages in all aspects. Unfortunately, at least so far, nobody had a solution which resulted in packages which were both high quality packages and contained very recent KDE releases. If that solution is found Norbert's packages are obsolete until then for me they seem to fill a gap. > Deepily unmotivated, Can you elaborate why you are demotivated by Norbert providing packages he compiled of latest KDE releases? How does it affect your packaging work? Thanks Rainer -- Rainer Dorsch http://bokomoko.de/
