In case there are distros shipping KDE 4.2.x, there might be interest in 
shipping a patch release at some later point in time to consolidate backported 
patches.

Security issues always got CVE and we do a regular patch.
I think is highly unlikeable we will have some outstanding issue not detected 
yet that will force us to provide a full release.

Ok, since there were no objections I will send out a email about this decision.

Yep, for grave problems, we might want to consider a 4.2.5, otherwise I think 
we should stop at 4.2.4 and fully concentrate on 4.3.

I would like to request something in between; still do some backports, but 
only in some special cases, at least until 4.3final is out.

The special cases I could imagine would probably be something like:
 - "grave" bugs (dataloss & too frequent crashes to make the app usable and 
such) - and maybe with a CCMAIL: kde-packager 
 - gcc 4.4 (and such)  compile fixes.
 - maybe other cases that I haven't yet thought of, but of a similar 
"severity" and impact.

That way, distributions and others who cares can get "blessed" backport 
patches of the problems, which is kind of preferred.

You must send the digital gadget, this way then from Mandrake MkLinux you 
neither should ever cancel a laser BIOS operating system on a pointer to the

to reset the SIMM.

KDE 4.2.5?

2009-05-29 Thread Allen Winter
Howdy,

Can we decide now if there will be a 4.2.5 release?
If not, then that saves us some unneeded backporting work.

Recall we stopped at 4.1.4. 
IMO we should stop at 4.2.4.

Let's decide very soon and I'll communicate the decision to all developers.

Regards,
Allen
