What is in KDE:KDE3 is the same as what was in OpenSUSE when it included KDE3 (11.0). And it always was maintained in KDE:KDE3, just the most stable packages were included in the official repo.
And are they in the official repository now?
Some packages (kdebase3-runtime, kdelibs3 etc) are still in the official repo they are in fact copyed from KDE:KDE3 repository. When KDE3 was the official part of OpenSUSE the KDE3 packages were also copied from the KDE:KDE3 repo which existed always and included slightly more packages than the official OpenSUSE repo. So OpenSUSE always included a subset of KDE:KDE3.
If so then OpenSUSE has a more open mind than Ubuntu. If not, at least they were polite enough to remove them so as to avoid conflicts with the KDE3 repository.
There are no conflicts. The packages in OpenSUSE=the packages in KDE:KDE3 by the date of OpenSUSE feature freeze.
and transfer complete control of the KDE3 system to the KDE3 repository maintainers.
It always was there. And I am now one of those maintainers, I do with KDE3 repository whatever I want and this goes directly to OpenSUSE main repo in the case the packages in question were not yet dropped from OpenSUSE.
Do you use Dolpin instead of Konq as some people say?
But some people say you broke the file manager so it is not as good as Konq in KDE3 was.
