So that every distro could keep in sync with updated packages, instead of doing the work separately. I'd also like to have source tarballs for 3.5.13.1 when it's out, to eliminate the need for patches in packaging process. About a release date, I'm not really in a hurry, since I already provide heavily patched packages for RHEL/Fedora. So TDE is already working very well and there will be no big difference between current 3.5.13 and 3.5.13.1 for the end-users. BTW, the answer to a previous mail from you is below.

The most notable differences are: 1) I have skipped all patches about "QT=>TQT" (or TQT=>QT) renaming, because I thought it was a never-ending work in progress which could cause hard-to-fix regression. 2) I absolutely need all GCC 4.7 related patch (I see you have some, but not all of them). This also applies to ruby 1.9 and libpng 1.4/1.5 . Also, there are lots of commits by Darell to remove "More applications" from program menu, and neither you nor me have taken them. Maybe we should consider taking them. For now, I've seen (or I believe I've seen) that you are lacking the following patches: Amarok: I have some FTBFS and some features added. See http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=984 Arts: I have some features added. See http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747 Kdeadmin: I've just added a patch to add support for RHEL/Fedora in networkconf backend, see: See http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619 Kdebase: Too many patches to compare ! I think the only ones I have that you don't are RHEL/Fedora specific, so they won't go upstream. An important point is the famous "startkde" script. Should we try to have a stable updated script upstream, or should we keep distro-specific changes in every packaging ? Kdegraphics: I have some FTBFS on stock 3.5.13. See http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=984 Kdelibs: You do not have patch for bugs: 656 , 764 You do not have patch for commits: 24f144fa , 2b035349 Kdeutils: The "klaptopdaemon" from upstream will only work on debian/ubuntu because there is a hardcoded "dpkg" command in its source code. For all other distros, you should apply the following patch (should be upstream IMHO): http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/tde-packaging/tree/redhat/kdeutils/kdeutils-3.5.13-klaptopdaemon_dpkg_command.patch That's all what I see for now. Good job BTW :-) Francois
