Well, I'd like to thank you personally that tagging rc1 tomorrow will mean that people won't be able to fully test Marble due to the QToolBox issues mentioned. As you can imagine I truely love that "additional pressure" that you advocate in lack of project management skills. As a result Marble will only receive a single week of full testing and this only by people who are able to build from source (read: developers only). Not that you get me wrong: 1) All bugs inside Marble that I'm aware of and that are critical for the release have been fixed already. So I consider Marble ready for a KDE 4.0 release. Still I would have liked it if users actually would have been able to fully test the KDE version of Marble. Unless they will change the style themselves (which is pretty unlikely for most people) this will not happen. 2) Don't get me wrong: Oxygen must be the default style for KDE 4.0: It's what people expect to be included and shown off by default in KDE 4. For some people it will be the most significant difference compared to KDE 3 even. Yes, this is just an example that concerns Marble. So I'm selfish in mentioning it. However I'm pretty sure that there are other examples resulting from the other showstoppers that affect other software as well (like a PDF viewer that essentially doesn't have printing tested). -- Torsten Rahn Tel.: 0 21 61 - 46 43 - 192 credativ GmbH, HRB Mönchengladbach 12080 Hohenzollernstr. 133, 41061 Mönchengladbach Geschäftsführung: Dr. Michael Meskes, Jörg Folz _______________________________________________ release-team mailing list release-team@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team
