    Hello. Thanks for the info. One question: using Saucy, will it require adding/enabling any ppa?

      No - the Ubuntu updates should be enabled as default.




      The SRU (1) will take some time - looking back:

        I can't wait... 4.11.3 will finally fix KDE bug 311871; it's been plaguing me for a while now.

        https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/113471/
        Some of the stuff that depends on the QDeclarativeListModel doesn't seem to like getting a "remove" while a "insert" is happening and to be honest m in no mood to fix that, so basically I'm protecting against that happening in our QML code. From what i read you have to be extremely unlucky since the timer only triggers each 10 minutes and it has to trigger at the same time a notification is being added, but oh well, the backtrace points to it and two different people in two different systems say it has stopped the crashes so I don't think it hurts to have this in.
        All it took was a little tidying up some of the logic around notifications.

          May be in backports in time for XMas!

            The fast lane - there is always room for the testers

            Those who want it now could jump to the #kubuntu-devel and ask if they can help to test - the status is now:

            http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2013/11/06...el.html#t16:35
            ovidiu-florin KDE 4.11.3 was released. Is it available in backports already? 16:35
            ...
            soee its i ninjas ppa 16:40
            soee im using it since 2 days on saucy. works perfect 16:40
            yofel saucy is done and needs to be copied, raring needs testing, precise needs fixing 16:42
            Also when there is the SRU for the 4.11.3 it needs testers.

            Hello Philip, or anyone else affected,

            Accepted into raring-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours in the -proposed repository.

            Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

            If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

            Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Perfo...RUVerification . Thank you in advance!

            Same thing with the Saucy.

              The Kubuntu updates PPA /1/ seem to have the 4.11.3 packages for the Saucy.

                        The Kubuntu Updates PPA is not the Ubuntu updates.



                        The KDE 4.11.3 is now in the Kubuntu Updates PPA (Saucy). After it has been added to the Ubuntu (Saucy) proposed and get positive feedback (SRU) then it could be added to the Ubuntu Updates.

                        ... and as told in the Kubuntu Updates PPA - https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ppa
                        Kubuntu Updates

                        PPA description

                        Updates for Kubuntu releases which are due to go to Ubuntu Updates. Mostly KDE point releases.

                          Hum... but I wasn't receiving the 4.11.3... that's weird.
                          So, should I disable the kubuntu-ppa again in order to avoid receiving git stuff?
                          By the way, thanks for your explanations.

                            Rog132 provides some incredible explanations and examples regarding updates but I just want to add that if you want fully tested updates to KDE versions don't enable PPAs. In due course 4.11.3, 4.11.4 and 4.11.5 will become available through the normal update channel.

                            I now prefer to downloaded tested, stable updates rather than "living on the edge" like I used to. I don't expect to receive 4.11.3 for another couple of weeks at least. By then I hope any problems will have been found by testers and early adopters and my update will be relatively painless.

                              I upgrade through the PPA, then again when available trough the regular channel. The PPA versions are not really living on the edge. Never had issues with them. What are the chances the repackaging has introduced problems of a released and tested KDE version?
