Hi all, i was amazed to discover that the whole KDE SC 4.7 transition into unstable requested the 1st of Jan 2012 is blocked by (the opencv transition which was itself requested/started on July 2011, itself blocked by) a few completely "minor" packages like mrpt-libs scilab-sivp freej gmic frei0r-plugins
which FTBFS with the latest opencv. I know i could/should contribute to speed things up ;-) but anyways please let me make my point as a long term Debian user/fan :-) IMHO it seems an unreasonable situation, which doesn't do a favor to Debian, its users, nor to the Debian-KDE maintainers which worked hard on the transition. It is obvious that thousands of people are eagerly waiting for KDE SC 4.7 and 4.8 now also in Debian, and holding that just due to some "almost irrelevant" packages that most of the users don't even heard of looks silly. Why not move those packages out of unstable into experimental if they don't get fixed, and let the KDE transition continue? most of these packages are not even in testing... My 2.5cts :-) Ariel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
