Versioning of Knights and other KDE games

Hi all,

Knights is using its own versioning schema, current version is 2.6. The
name of the package in openSUSE has 24.08.2 in it which implicates it's
being part of KDE Gears. The situation is similar for other KDE games.
I'm not sure how this is handled in other linux distributions, though.

Is there a reason why KDE games are not part of KDE Gears and how is the
release process handled for KDE games? Who/what is defining when the
next release is done and the code can be consumed by the packagers? If
this is synchronized with the release schedule for Gears, why not to use
the same versioning schema?


Regards,

Alexander
