Hi fellows,

I like to ask about the process of KDE updates. We are actually seeing
KDE 3.5.1-0.1.fc4 updates hitting the server. As far as I see these FC4
updates never appeared in the updates-testing repository. This was also
the case with previous KDE updates - last KDE update from 17th December
brought us then a following kdelibs update on 22th Dec., fixing an issue
from the kdelibs update of 17th.

I think maintainers do not have to use the testing repository before
pushing Core updates. But shouldn't it be mandatory for such package
groups like KDE?

I have to say that I'm starting to get frustrated with this as well. I used to complain that there were no KDE updates within a release, but now that it happens, I generally wish it wouldn't. It has caused a number of problems at our site which I would like to see restricted to a full OS upgrade. In this case, a sub-minor version release, it probably is worth doing (with a period in updates-testing), I would hold off on others. With Fedora's accelerated release schedule (FC5 slippage notwithstanding) holding off larger KDE updates during a release should be a reasonable policy.
