Plasma6 already in [latest]

I tried Plasma 6.0 RC1 on CURRENT.

Surprisingly advanced (not too late, compared with upstream), however the collection of ports is, understandably, not the same type of candidate for release.

More info later.
 

kde6, Plasma 6.0 RC1, X11, CURRENT​


If I recall correctly, pinned items in Task Manager remained as pins after opening.

After using SDDM to log in, it was impossible to sleep, log out, shut down or restart in the normal way.

graphics/spectacle-devel was installable, deinstallation of sysutils/lxqt-config was involved, the resulting Spectacle was not usable.

Code: 
% grep 3940 /var/log/messages

I used Flameshot (deskutils/flameshot) to take shots, can't remember where I saved them.
 
I've been using Plasma6 RC1 on FreeBSD for over two weeks. Some things are missing in the ports tree (e.g. PIM (kmail,akregator...) because plasma5 and plasma6 are not planned to exist at the same time - after some time, plasma6 will replace the kde5 version. Generally works well, except for some annoying behavior in the konsole app: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480196

Please, where did you read that (in relation to ports)?

I don't have the original source, but several port developers/committers talked about this in a russian telegram chat dedicated to FreeBSD: when the official release comes out, they plan to do a mass shift upgrade, WIP: https://github.com/tcberner/kde6-overlay. As far as I understand, they have no plans to support two major branches at the same time.

Some issues noted whilst testing yesterday.

2024-03-08 23-02 desktop misplaced.png

  • mysterious characters in tabs and title bars of Konsole (I mentioned this in IRC a few weeks ago)
  • desktop misplaced – shifted to the right, and the black area to its left will not present a context menu
  • XTerm windows that were previously kept above others are no longer kept above others when restored
  • Xterm windows are the wrong size when restored.
2024-03-08 23-17 spectacle-devel Spectacle export to Imgur.png

  • icons in notifications are broken
  • export to Imgur works, however the shared image was not associated with my Imgur account
  • Dolphin no longer has an Information panel (F11) to its right
  • Dolphin previews were not visible.
2024-03-08 23-24-03 KWin context menu misplaced.png

  • the context menu is misplaced
  • the red desktop background to the right is normally on the display to the left (what's pictured is a mash of two desktop backgrounds).
2024-03-08 23-40 Dolphin, panels disappeared.png

  • if Dolphin shows panels for Places and Folders, neither panel will be shown after minimising the window.
 
I just realised, yesterday's test was of the first stable release of KDE Plasma 6.

KDE: Update KDE Plasma 6 to 6.0.0 · freebsd/freebsd-ports@163e26d

I'll ping someone in IRC with reference to the results. Done.

Seems like it may be prudent to wait until all of KDE components (Plasma, Frameworks, and QT) all get updated to v.6 later this year...
 
when compiling plasma6-plasma for the webserver build as i found it works how:
first to last: x11,qt-core,qt6,qmake,plasma6-plasma else itll error and youll be looking around for what part its missing but no #qt-core missing is going to cause errors to pop up:
 
Has anyone downloaded the 13.3R amd64 dvd1.iso?

If so, are the KDE packages for KDE5 or 6 (or both)?

I'm wondering whether the latest or quarterly repo was used to build the dvd1 .iso?

[edit: or perhaps a custom repo for the purpose, as seems to have happened on some previous releases?]

I chose FreeBSD-13.3-RC1-amd64-dvd1.iso in response to Please test: FreeBSD 13.3-RC1.

Code: 
% pwd
/media/Kingston_DataTraveler_3.0_08606E6D402DBF10471501BC/packages
% bfs . -name "kde5-*" -print
./FreeBSD:13:amd64/All/kde5-5.27.10.23.08.4_2.pkg

I can't imagine using latest.

<https://www.freshports.org/x11/kde5/#packages> currently shows 5.27.10.23.08.4_2 for quarterly but not latest.

Probably still the same at RELEASE?

bfs(1) is news, ta.

But I should have asked about -iname "plasma*" instead ...

Neither can I, but there have been last-minute shuffles at times to include some ports' packages, I gather - and some spectacular misses like Centos and gnome missing from 12.x and 13.x due to ports directory renaming.

I guess if it was from quarterly then there'd be no Plasma6 stuff, which is what matters ... so maybe this is the last cohesive snapshot of (KDE, Plasma, Frameworks, qt)5 ?

Please, what errors pop up?

Which version of FreeBSD, exactly?

No error here with a dry run of poudriere-bulk(8). From the attached file:

Either that was a mis-quote (like should have been qt6-core) or a genuine compiler error due to a typo somewhere... ;)

Edit: it is a misquote... according to cgit.freebsd.org/ports mirror, there's devel/qt6-base and devel/qt6... Seems like it's another round of looking through Makefiles and finding the ones that are KDE6-only...
 
ADG mentions co-installability issues, and that a lot of applications are still on QT5... Would be nice if I had the time to see if I can make a go of things, even if functionality is limited in 6...
 
The attached log includes:
At a glance, just one thing surprises me: deinstallation of Falkon. It is packaged – <https://www.freshports.org/www/falkon/#packages> – and found by pkg-search(8), so I guess that there's a conflict. I'll check after booting the new environment.
