Sorry if it's hard to understand, so I'll try to put it into another way: * First I just wanted to say that I prefer Plasma 2 instead of 5, because it helps understanding the age and we have lots of other KDE components with different versions than 5.
* Second I'm saying that KDE is also the software because we do release a KDE Software Compilation which has the KDE name. * I know we don't market the KDE desktop anymore, all the blog posts around KDE still talk about it as a DE. Lots of friends that use KDE SC don't even know what is plasma-desktop because for them it's KDE. For example what happens if I want my own shell (no I didn't write one :P ) on the KDE SC? The KDE community has to decide which will be the included, since plasma got there first there isn't much chance for a replacement, then better do like Razor. I'm not against the KDE renaming, but I think we are getting to a point that having an Software Compilation becomes a problem. If Razor is now a KDE project they why only plasma is included? About print-manager the user can see it's version using the about module of system-settings, but since KDE does the branching/tagging it's easier to just rely on the KDE version, the 0.3 vesion is something useless when on SC. But to me as a developer tells me how much I change it, and since it's mostly complete 4.10 has 0.3 and 4.11 has 0.3 because most commits where just bugfixes. Also dpkg -l print-manager shows the KDE SC version (so it does for dolphin). PS I don't care much what plasma does as I'm mostly a user of plasma shell and API, but as a user I just felt that jumping into 5 just because the KDE FW is at 5 seems wrong, as after all KDE is just the community. _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
