Description Matthew Bevan 2006-02-27 17:30:27 UTC

I have been using KDE 3.5 for as long as I have been able to unmask it via package.keywords basically without incident.  Some minor instability in KMail's IMAP handling was solved in the 3.5.1 release for me, and now runs rock-solid.

Is there any particular reason the KDE 3.5 (current stable) release is masked on all architectures?

Yes, KDE 3.5.0 and KDE 3.5.1 are _not_ ready to go stable. Lot of patches are already applied to them and more are needed; actually in the next days I'm probably going to see merging a few of them for our users' sake but there's no way that, at the current state of things, KDE 3.5.x can go stable.

Akregator has an unresolved (upstream) crash on purge of old articles, KMail has a lot of instabilities for many users, Kicker too. KPDF has yet to prove itself rocksolid with the poppler patch.

Sorry.
