it's not easy to collaborate with the debian-kde maintainers, probably because, as you have said below (...we have in the past been burned a bit..) and in MHO not _only_ for the 3rd party repositories. Probably you received a lot of attacks. The transition from kde3 to kde4 was a pain. Otherwise there are a lot of people that would like to help, but I think that it's reasonable that the "community" of kde users in debian sometimes are a bit frustrating with the version of the packages in stable, for example.

Looking on [1] only a few rc bugs and almost solved affect releasing wheezy, and no one of the qt-kde packagers. Do you know what happens? Are the release team waiting to the fosdem? ;-) Regards, Leo [1] http://udd.debian.org/bugs.cgi?release=wheezy_not_sid&base=only&merged=ign&fnewerval=7&rc=1&sortby=id&sorto=asc > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
