I think the OP's point is that although the latest kde that is marked |
| 18 |
"stable' by gentoo is 3.4.1, the kde group in fact have released (and |
| 19 |
therefore consider stable) version 3.4.3. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
And the reason for that is that it takes some time for the gentoo build |
| 22 |
system for kde to be considered stable. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
In other words after kde.org (or any other software writer) releases a |
| 25 |
new version, it takes some time for the gentoo devs to make sure it is |
| 26 |
working ok before they release it on the masses of gentoo users who rely |
| 27 |
on the devs to keep their systems stable. |
| 28 |
|

And a bloody good thing too! |
