Hello,<div><br></div><div>in the last months i was watching the releases the KDE has,and more specifically the tarballs which gives to the distro.<br>I have seen more than ones,regressions to appear in the tarballs but not in the master.This situation put me in some thoughts.</div>
<div>In the KDE(as a whole) i have seen a lot of afford and strategic in order to keep the desktop environment as stable as it can be.</div><div>Despite that afford regressions still exists. Definitely this has nothing to do with the great work or with our willingness imo it has to </div>
<div>do with the lack of an extra check.<br><br>I don't think that the tarballs are so tested as they should be,not because there is no willingness but because there is no time.</div><div>It has been said to make the bug fix releases fewer,i don't know if this will apply because i lost the track of the conversation due to my</div>
<div>university exams.If so this means that we can put our resources in something new.</div><div><br></div><div>So,i propose a new timeline addition in which we will check our tarballs better and a new bugzilla compoment in which we will be able to</div>
<div>report regressions and critical bugs which hasn't been fixed.</div><div><br></div><div>As we know the tarballs are the result of our work and in the</div><div>case of non-rolling distro our small mistake can make a lot of harm in our users and of course in the promo team,since most of the distros are not rolling</div>
<div>and a new release will come very later.</div><div> </div><div><div>cheers</div><div><br></div>-- <br>Tsiapaliwkas Giorgos (terietor)<br>KDE Developer<br><br><a href="http://terietor.gr" target="_blank">terietor.gr</a><br>
