Is it now "safe" to use the kde-redhat unstable repo?
by Valerio Mariani 02 Jul '14

02 Jul '14

Dear All, I am Valerio, a recent Fedora convert. Until now I only used Gnome 3 with Fedora, but I would like now to change to KDE, an old love of mine. I understand that currently the kde-redhat unstable repo provides packages for kde 4.13.1, as opposed to the 4.12.x packages in the official repos. I was concerned, after reading the last emails on this list, about conflicts for the workspace packages. I understand that in both repositories the plasma workspace is pinned (as upstream) at version 4.11... However, the packages in kde-redhat are compiled against baloo (used in 4.13), while the ones in the official repos are compiled against nepomunk (used in 4.12). I read, however, that the packages in the official repo have sometimes higher version number and get installed in place of the the ones in kde-redhat. My question is: is it safe at this point to use the kde-redhat unstable repositories on top of the official ones, or will I end up with a Frankenstein, half nepomunk, half baloo system? Thank you for your help! Valerio

They are safe'ish. kde-unstable will soon hold what we plan on soon moving to kde-testing and official updates-testing repositories.
