Hi all, Recently changes were made to kdeconnect-kde that introduced new dependencies that broke the build on Windows.
While this in itself is an issue, it has exposed a much more significant issue which requires urgent remediation as it breaks any Windows build node that attempts to carry out a build of kdeconnect. These breakages require manual Sysadmin intervention to correct. After diagnosing the issue, it would appear that kdeconnect-kde contains CMake code that results in "dbus-daemon.exe" being launched. While this may appear innocuous, it is problematic on Windows as it prevents the build workspace being wiped and then reused by later jobs. This was the cause of CI failures for various Frameworks, Dolphin and KDevelop. Prior to the new dependency being introduced this was not an issue, as the post-testing cleanup phase ensures that all KDE related processes (kdeinit5, kiod, kioslave, dbus-daemon, etc) are all terminated. As this creates persistent issues for other projects and because a new dependency was introduced without notification, the following is notice that Windows CI support for kdeconnect-kde will be terminated in 12 hours time should steps to resolve this not be taken. Regards, Ben Cooksley KDE Sysadmin
