KDE, Kubuntu, Debian: Weekly progress report Qt6 updates.

sgmoore

Thankfully no tragedies to report this week! I thank each and everyone of you that has donated to my car fund. I still have a ways to go and could use some more help so that we can go to the funeral. https://gofund.me/033eb25d I am between contracts and work packages, so all of my work is currently for free. Thanks for your consideration.

Another very busy week getting qt6 updates in Debian, Kubuntu, and KDE snaps.

Kubuntu:

  • Merkuro and Neochat SRUs have made progress.
  • See Debian for the qt6 Plasma / applications work.

Debian:

  • qtmpv – in NEW
  • arianna – in NEW
  • kamera – experimental
  • libkdegames – experimental
  • kdenetwork-filesharing – experimental
  • xwaylandvideobridge – NEW
  • futuresql – NEW
  • kpat WIP
  • Tokodon – Done, but needs qtmpv to pass NEW
  • Gwenview – WIP needs kamera, kio-extras
  • kio-extras – Blocked on kdsoap in which the maintainer is not responding to bug reports or emails. Will likely fork in Kubuntu as our freeze quickly approaches.

KDE Snaps:

Updated QT to 6.7.2 which required a rebuild of all our snaps. Also found an issue with mismatched ffmpeg libraries, we have to bundle them for now until versioning issues are resolved.

Made new theme snaps for KDE breeze: gtk-theme-breeze, icon-theme-breeze so if you use the plasma theme breeze please install these and run

for PLUG in $(snap connections | grep gtk-common-themes:icon-themes | awk '{print $2}'); do sudo snap connect ${PLUG} icon-theme-breeze:icon-themes; done
for PLUG in $(snap connections | grep gtk-common-themes:gtk-3-themes | awk '{print $2}'); do sudo snap connect ${PLUG} gtk-theme-breeze:gtk-3-themes; done
for PLUG in $(snap connections | grep gtk-common-themes:gtk-2-themes | awk '{print $2}'); do sudo snap connect ${PLUG} gtk-theme-breeze:gtk-2-themes; done

This should resolve most theming issues. We are still waiting for kdeglobals to be merged in snapd to fix colorscheme issues, it is set for next release. I am still working on qt6 themes and working out how to implement them in snaps as they are more complex than gtk themes with shared libraries and file structures.

Please note: Please help test the –edge snaps so I can promote them to stable.
