Message-Id: <201104071558.23828.montel () kde ! org> X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-pim&m=130218477020034 Hi kdepim-guys, We have a real problem with kdepim-akonadi I think, we don't have release plan for it and it's not normal. We wanted to release it with KDE-4.5 we didn't release it and we decided to release with KDE-4.6 and not released. After that we decided to release with KDE-4.6.2 so yesterday but it was not released... So I think it's time to decide if we want to release it or not and when. When I read comment on dot.kde.org (http://dot.kde.org/2011/04/06/kde-ships- april-updates-congratulates-gnome), we can see that users don't understand why we don't release it, because there is not infos about it. It's not good ! As I understand there is a meta blocker bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=270261 I read this two bugs... and for me it's not blockers. There is perhaps some problems on kmail but kdepim is not just kmail there is kadressbook, kalarm, ktimetracker which were improved in 4.5-4.6 but for the moment we can just use version from 4.4 and it's not good for developers I think. How we can motive new kdepim dev to fix some bugs in kdepim-trunk if they are not sure that we will release it a day ? (Me I am not motivate to fix bug in kdepim trunk because I don't know when we will release it... I prefer fixing bug in kdepim-4.4 because guys use it) Perhaps we can release just kdepim-runtime-4.6 so developpers will able to use akonadi resource, and not wait that we release perhaps a day kdepim-4.6... So I think that now it's really necessary to define a plan or decide to kill kdepim-akonadi. If we don't define it nobody will work to fix bugs and release it. and I think that for kde-4.7 we will decide to wait until kde-4.8.
