• Thank for your the ambitious plan for Bookworm

    From Martin Steigerwald@21:1/5 to All on Sat Nov 12 12:00:02 2022
    Dear Debian/Kubuntu Qt/KDE team developers,

    thank you dearly for the ambitious plan you set out in:

    https://wiki.debian.org/PkgQtKde/BookwormReleasePlans

    And best of success!

    In case you'd like some of us to test something from experimental at
    some time, just let us know.

    While I do not mind as much as I am using Debian Sid (well actually
    Devuan Ceres with Runit) and thus do not rely on versions in stable
    releases, it is great to see that stable users are looking forward to
    recent versions. Even in case some of your plan does not work out, its
    still quite recent.

    Have a great weekend!

    That indeed looks quite good :-)
    Please do inform the Release Team about it (even if it's not 100% final).

    Indeed. Happy to help here!

    Ah yes, I still havn't do that.
    What's best ? Filing a pre-approval bug ?

    I don't know tbh, best to ask to the Release Team directly.
    But the important/'critical' thing is that they are aware of it ('at all'). And the sooner the better so that they can take these things into account and it also give 'you' and the RT more wiggle room, if needed.

    So just start the dialog and when things need to be made 'official', they'll tell you and how (I presume).

    Cheers,
    Diederik

    Thanks.

    - The thing that's the most lagging behind is Gear. The Gear packages are mostly independent from one another so help on any of them is welcome.

    - Also we have *loads* of bug reports, I pick some with every upload but I cannot scale to the number we have across Frameworks, Plasma and Gear. Help welcome on triaging, retesting, linking with upstream bugs (or filing them when reproducible and not
    yet in bugs.kde.org).

    - Give a try to the testing ISO, choose Plasma, report any bugs or ideas for improvements.

    - Create a Plasma Debiab theme à la kubuntu-settings to we can get back the Debian wallpaper by default. The old way to script that in desktop-base is too fragile and broken.

    - Review upstream packaging recommendations [0] and propose patches for achievable item, fix anything non directly KDE-related mentioned there in Debian.


    Best if you ping us on #debian-qt-kde when you work on any of this.

    Hally hacking ! 🙂
