Following on from the last Akademy we checked where we were with our
development progress in a meeting and settled on the following plan
for all 3 major parts:
- In KDE Gear master will be open for Qt6 code to land for those
ready to move. Not all apps need to port.
For the trigger happy among us...
This is a plan/proposal, let's give people at least one week to
comment/
disagree on it before making master Qt6-only for Gear apps.
Hi,
yes, good point.
Just a technical question: if we do this after that period, what is
the process to do it for an application belonging to Gear?
Will it just be sufficient e.g. for Kate to drop the Qt 5 variants in
https://invent.kde.org/utilities/kate/-/blob/master/.kde-ci.yml?ref_type=heads
and
https://invent.kde.org/utilities/kate/-/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.yml?ref_type=heads
and require KF 6 + Qt 6 in the CMake files or is there additional stuff
that
needs updates to avoids one breaks stuff?
Greetings
Christoph
- The KDE Gear release will move by 2 months to allow for the extra
time needed for testing initial Qt6 changes
- An Alpha will be made in November (a soft freeze in Plasma terms)
- Betas/RCs will be made throughout December and January (3 releases,
3 weeks apart)
- Final release of all 3 major parts in sync in February
Due to the delay of KDE Gear by an additional patch release of 23.08
will be made.
Or maybe even two if there's bugfixes flowing.
Cheers,
Albert
