I fully agree with Adam. In addition, I feel his argument is at the crux of an inerrant problem with the decisions that Kubuntu 4.x development made in general. Why rewrite most applications that worked great to begin with? The new releases of Kubuntu applications have broken or missing functionality from the old releases. Had the Kubuntu developers kept the core of each 3.x app and made each work with the additional (not replaced) look and feel of 4.x, then at least users would not have been baited and switched out of comfortable features and structurally important functionality that worked fine in 3.x. ... but I digress ...
For the wheel to have been improved over the years, it had to first keep its round shape; the most basic feature. I propose a new rule for Kubuntu architects whereby any trial app that doesn't leverage an existing and established code base should not be placed into the main stream of default packages until it has proved itself to be as good AND better. -- Doesn't support installations which require a removal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/342671 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kpackagekit in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
