Hello,
I would really like to understand the policy of the schedule of major
KDE component version updates in Fedora.
I know of the Plasma release schedule problem. But this is bigger
apparently. The bug that forced me to leave Fedora a year ago was
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1746465 . This bug was
caused by a version update of KDE Frameworks, affected usability, and
took over a month to fix.
That is why I use F32 , instead F33 .
this is a very simplistic summary
KDE is not scheduled with official release , we got some discussions
about that, i.e. we are on our own. I use KDE since Fedora core 1 and
the major problems was that we trust in upstream , when it say that is
ready and sometimes it is not .
Updates form kde 3 to 4 , and 4 to plasma 5 was a disaster but mainly
because upstream calls it stable when it wasn’t.
Following this list, I see that breaking updates to KDE are kind of
a
regular occurrence:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kde@lists.fedoraproject.org...
I would guess that the component version updates mid-cycle cause the
breaking updates. I would really appreciate some explanation of what
the version update policy is.
Also is there *any way at all* to have a reliable KDE environment on
Fedora, apart from not updating the entire system?
