--- Comment #31 from Flossy Cat <flossy-...@online.de> --- (In reply to David Faure from comment #30) > It's fixed in 24.02, I'm not sure what else you're asking for. 23.08 is a > year old, and time machines haven't been invented yet. Very simple: OpenSUSE Leap 15.6 and SLE 15 SP6 are widespread current distributions used by millions of users. Both rely on the LTS versions of KDE/QT. This results in the following version for Kontact and its components: 5.24.5 (23.08.5) SLE 15 SP6 users have support for several years (5 AFAIR) and are potentially stuck with this fundamentally unusable version … Leap users for at least a year … People like me (and my customers) use versioned distribution like Leap to have a reliable, well tested, stable system. (I personally returned from Tumbleweed to Leap because I was bitten by Tumbleweed several times – for that same reason I don't want to use the OBS KDE factory repositories: just not yet mature and well tested enough for my everyday work, and the dependency resolver has complains …) The quality assurance done by the distributions takes time and effort – with less than a year slack OpenSUSE is relatively quick, IMHO … Either the KDE community is interesting in keeping a user base amongst the Linux distribution users – or not. If yes, port bug fixes back to the LTS versions and thrive. If no, feel free to wither further. I personally are very sick of this kind of discussion, of ill-advised deprecations and functional regressions and the inherent lack of respect thus expressed against the KDE user base – after more than a quarter of a century I will cease to support, recommend and use KDE. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
