Testing Plasma 6 (Beta) on Endeavour OS - is this approach any good?

Hahha, maybe you should leave it till it moves from Testing to Stable? :slight_smile:
I came to confess that I had a dream this morning of interacting (like discord) with the KDE developers, watching fast paced snappy dialogue and the coordinator saying ‘Hustle people, we have two days!’ I should probably shift toward my warmer season hobby, gardening.

:slight_smile: That’s some serious commitment to the cause; but indeed, perhaps it’s time to focus on gardening. Some snappy dialogues with your daffodils is perhaps more conducive to a calmer state of mind than dreaming about KDE devs being bussy. :wink:

Will ponder, but I think we should avoid that this topic drags on beyond its purpose for too long.

As I understand it, if I mark this topic as resolved it will still be possible to add reactions, until there is no activity for 2 days after I marked it as resolved.

Well I just want to say, it’s been fun and I learned a few things too (who knows how long I’ll remember them).

Or 3 to 5 more days…we shall see when it’s baked (compiled) :slight_smile:

I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re right.

If you look into the megarelease 6 packages they are all sitting in staging since the private-tar release last week (e.g. plasma-desktop - notice the Versions Elsewhere).

Someone prepared the button and is ready to hit it! #IWantToBelieve :flying_saucer:

Hurray!

Unfortunately I’m not near my laptop at the moment. Work needs to be done, apparently.

Later tonight I’ll update ASAP.

I updated around 0700, worked out of the box. That said, I kept everything very vanilla to keep my testing box simple.

Is Plasma 6 in extra-testing compiled against Qt 6.6, or 6.7?

As i understand it against 6.7.
Others, more knowledgeable than me, can perhaps confirm.

I disabled kde-unstable and updated everything, so sort of answering myself: Qt 6.6.

Great, but I’m confused now :confused:. Whilst testing we found that arch used qt6.7.

Just when I thought I understood how things work :wink: .

You’re not the only one, people on the Arch forum were confused as well. If I understood them correctly, Qt 6.7 will hit ‘extra-testing’ and further down when it is officially released as ‘stable’. Plasma 6.0 officially supports Qt 6.6 while 6.1 is expected to move to Qt 6.7, so it was OK with the Plasma developers to report bugs against Qt 6.7 as early as possible.

I was also under the impression that it would be QT6.7.
