That's actually quite normal, or rather: distros get the first set of packages always, then usually some problems pop up and the branch is either re-tagged or the patches in question added to the tag. Distros just shouldn't directly release the stuff to their users before we say "yes, this is the actual release". We could ask the packagers to be a bit more careful. > will there be an rc2? i know plasma at least would appreciate such a thing, > though i think we can also manage without if it's too big of a deal. We *could* do a second RC, but I don't see a huge amount of value in it *right now*. Tagging won't happen before the end of Akademy, add a couple of days until it's out (see the dance above), so the release is really, really close to the 4.3.0 release (which is of course also tagged one week before). So if no major thing pops up, -1 from my POV. -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org | GPG Key ID: 9119 0EF9
