Hi distribution maintainers, thank you for your feedback! This was valuable information.
Overall I think that it's worth the effort to try more releases. I think it should help all the different distribution approaches. Those distributions which are not able to deliver at that high rate: please skip releases and pick the ones you can provide. The last thing we want is to burn you! Those distributions which do a snapshot: please try to align with a release in order to get the latest set. Don't go for patches, there are just too many repos in Plasma. But I also want to see whether the whole thing makes sense. There is no point in putting out releases on our side, if distributions are not going to distribute them. Given that I want to evaluate the 5.5 bug fix cycle. I'll set up a kind of spread sheet where we track when we release and when the distributions released the packages. I'll send the link around once it's set up. Please don't interpret that the wrong way: I just want to see whether it makes sense to go for that. If it doesn't we can go back to the current bug fix release cycle with 5.6. As a reminder: please invest time in automating your Plasma packaging. On Nov 5th, we are going to freeze the list of repositories and their dependencies which will go into the release. Make us of that :-) All following bug fix releases won't change your packaging. Only the tarballs will change. If you need help from our side to make your life easier: please tell us. We do want to make releasing our software as easy as possible! Please start a new thread for that, though. Cheers Martin
