[Bug 385802] Re: KDE updates should be available through normal repos rather than ppas

[Harald Sitter]

Yes. Indeed.

https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuKarmicPackaging
"We would like to include updates of KDE packages for our users for stable releases in the main archives. We already create these packages but we need to convince the tech board that they have enough testing to be considered stable enough for the main archives. Point release updates of KDE should go into -proposed then -updates and new releases into -backports. We will make a proposal to the tech board to decide if this can be allowed."

We actually did this for Kubuntu 8.10, but now the target is to get a
standing permission for this package publishing flow.

For 8.10 a relese went like this: packaging => developer QA =>
publishing in PPA => user QA => uploaded to -propsed => more user QA =>
if everything is working well the packages got moved to -updates

This is, most likely what we want to use for 9.10 and all following
releases, however, as stated in the quote, this requires permission from
the Ubuntu tech board, which is not yet given.

I am closing this bug as Invalid in favor of the Blueprint at
https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/kubuntu-karmic-packaging
but also assign it to Scott Kitterman in case he wants to reopen it and keep it around until the policy was either accepted or rejected by the tech board.
