So what's the reason for this? Why do distros not offer official updates for the KDE version they ship? I think it is because they are afraid of regressions. And it is because they do not have an expert for every component in KDE but would have the obligation to fix every regression they shipped as official update even if upstream would not care. So how could one solve this if the fact that distros stick to whatever version they shipped is not acceptable? Sven >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
