Really it's both developer and user questions. It's just that the uninteresting ones tend to get ignored for a while because they aren't fun to answer for the 10th time or so. =) Thanks, Donnie signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: [gentoo-dev] Re: When will KDE 3.5 be marked as stable?
I think at this point it does more harm than good to be lagging behind the current upstream kde - last time I checked the kde bugzilla wouldn't even accept bug reports for the kde currently marked stable as it was too old, and if bugs can't be filed then it's clearly unsupported upstream and time to upgrade. Wow! I run ~arch by choice and generally find its keywording suitable (IOW, packages move from masked to ~arch at a generally appropriate speed), but I didn't realize Gentoo KDE-stable was /that/ far behind! Point well made! I think historically we were much more bleeding edge with our stable KDE versions than at the moment, but if you've spent any significant time playing with 3.5.0 or 3.5.1, I think you would agree that they are terribly less stable than 3.4.3. But in a few weeks I think 3.5.2 will be stable and it will all be behind us. Caleb -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

Not here ! I've used both (successively) every day can't recall a single crash or noteworthy (indeed any) problem. It's true that I don't use Kmail similar exchange-type apps some comments suggest that is where the bulk of instability lies. The fact that KDE itself is no longer accepting bugs for 3.4.3 really does suggest there's something wrong with Gentoo's current criteria. -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban Community Studies TRANSIT`-O--O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
