The packages available at the time it was released. ;-) I.e. not preparing
the spin 3 days before a KDE update goes out, considering that testing the
spin apparently takes 9 days. But nobody at Fedora Unity ever talks to us
about KDE update schedules. Having to download another 100 MB worth of
updates even when installing the day of the respin's release kinda defeats
the point of the respin. Yet this is happening at every single respin, they
somehow always magically manage to hit the window where a KDE update will go
out during their testing week.
(My recommendation: just install from the F12 GA KDE Live CD and get the
updates, you'll have to update all of KDE anyway, even if you use those
installer-DVD-only respins, and installing from the KDE Live CD is
recommended.)
Meh.
If you insist on putting out major updates for released Fedoras it
will never a good time to do a re-spin. Oh well.
