Hi all, this weekend KWin received bug reports against 4.8.80 from distro packages ([1], [2]). This quite surprised me as beta should not be out before Monday.
Now I concider this as an issue if users can report bugs for a version we do not yet expect. E.g. in KWin I had not yet created the version information - I wanted to do this on Monday after the release. Because of that bug 301068 had been reported incorrectly against 4.8.2 which quite confused me. For Beta 1 this seems not so much an issue, but for Beta 2 such too early releases can waste quite some time. Consider we don't notice and investigate why a bug fix did not work? And even if we notice we have to spend time asking the user to verify which version was actually in use. So I would like to know, what's the reason why distros ship the packages too early and whether we find it acceptable that distros ship the packages too early.
