openSUSE:KDE Patch Review

Purpose

The purpose of this page is to track what patches are in the packages, what can be dropped, and what can be upstreamed. It is divided by the main source packages. For each package, put a line with the patch name as in the spec file, then its status:

• If it is dropped, add the status "dropped" stating the reason
• If it needs to be upstreamed, put the expected version this should appear in, or (if available) a link to the review request
• If it is kept, put "Keep" as status and state (briefly) why

Patches should also conform to the patch annotation policy and the general packaging patch guidelines. If a patch is to be kept, it should -where possible - be made conformant to that policy if it is not already.

Examples

• Patch-001-fix-cmake.diff - Upstreamed - 4.10.2
• Patch-002-default-theme.diff - Keep - default theme
• Patch-003-no-crash-xmms - Dropped - no longer occurs

Packages

Each patch should be put under the relevant package section from this page.
