I think it was on core-devel that this discussion originally happened, but this list seems more appropriate. I just saw the "don't hold us accountable for the binary packages" statement on kde.org, i.e.: http://download.kde.org/binarydownload.html?url=/stable/3.1/SuSE/ix86/8.0/ === Please note that the KDE Project makes these packages available from the KDE web site as a convenience to KDE users. The KDE Project is not responsible for these packages as they are provided by third parties - typically, but not always, the distributor of the relevant distribution - using tools, compilers, library versions and quality assurance procedures over which the KDE project has no control. If you cannot find a binary package for your OS, or you are displeased with the quality of binary packages available for your system, please read the KDE Binary Package Policy and/or contact your binary package / OS vendor. === Could that be made more concise -- by tomorrow? Or at least could we get some <b> tags in there for the most relevant parts? These guys are in a frenzy to get to these packages at this point, I really doubt they're going to read all of the above. Maybe: "Please note the the KDE Project does not produce these packages (or anything but source packages), and is not responsible for their content." <link to packaging policy> I'd be nice if people are actually reading the statement rather than ceremoniously skipping over it EULA-style. Cheers, -Scott (who goes back to ansering adopt-a-geek email) -- I mean, if 10 years from now, when you are doing something quick and dirty, you suddenly visualize that I am looking over your shoulders and say to yourself, "Dijkstra would not have liked this", well that would be enough immortality for me. -E.
