Thanks for the explanation, but that was for somebody who asked with their developer's hat on. I asked with my packager's hat on and that means only what's above is an incomplete answer to my questions and the rest is irrelevant. For example, openSUSE 11.3 is now entering RC phase and that means that only fixes can enter it, not features or newer non-patchlevel releases. Since the fix is in 1.4.0 and openSUSE is at 1.2.8 IIRC, 1.4.0 cannot enter openSUSE 11.3, neither now nor later. Now I know what the fix is and I need to know what the actual problems are to evaluate and possibly justify a request for exception to the rules. With the information given so far the fix appears to be rather risky and not even remotely worth a problem that has existed for quite a while and is "theoretical". -- Lubos Lunak openSUSE Boosters team, KDE developer l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org
