That's what Rawhide is for. 15:09:23 We have 6 months to polish it there. 15:09:30 I agree, even considering current status 15:09:33 If we import it late, of course the release will be buggy. 15:09:52 .bug 1135103 15:09:54 rdieter: Bug 1135103 Plasma 5 Tracker - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1135103 15:09:55 Is there a tracking bug for plasma5? 15:09:56 we have this ^^ tracking bug 15:09:57 Kevin_Kofler: not 6 months 15:09:59 duh.... 15:10:17 5.1.95 is Tue 2015-01-13 15:10:34 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/22/Schedule dpesn 15:10:40 doesn't look solid yet 15:11:01 though Feb-24 is approx feature freeze 15:11:03 would be nice to take a look on it in copr, do some initial testing and start in Rawhide with 5.2.0 if it shows to be in a good state 15:11:10 https://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/Plasma_5 15:12:05 the bugs in that tracker are all review requests or RFEs - should we tie actual bugs to it? 15:12:15 yep 15:12:30 it's there to track all plasma5-related issues 15:12:36 roger ball 15:12:47 obviously, blocker0 is getting plasma5 package reviews done 15:13:22 jreznik: So we have at least 5 months, with only "no earlier than" dates. 15:13:59 so would plasma5-only be an f22 Change? 15:14:04 oh, and fyi, I created a kde-sig pkgdb group, so theoretically all these new packages could be owned by that, instead of listing all kde-sig'ers individually 15:14:11 jwb: yes 15:14:16 ok 15:14:50 (though you can continue to be comaintainers listed separately too if you choose) 15:15:20 well, pls, create f22 change - let's risk it :) 15:15:35 so, while we're on the topic of plasma5 blockers, are we missing any obvious ones? 15:15:38 but still I'd like to have at least the first step - importing to rawhide more cautious 15:15:58 and to make jreznik feel better, have a good contingency plan 15:16:04 thanks :) 15:16:28 usually plasma 5 + 4/5 app mix works pretty well with breeze theming 15:16:30 wasn't there something about libinput? 15:17:26 some kcms as far as I know are old systemsettings only 15:17:51 i'm using plasma5 daily as my production system, and so far so good is good enough to meç but there are few quirks 15:17:51 so would be nice to have list of stuff, that can't be 4 and has to be ported to 5 before release (aka not shipping too systemsettings...) 15:18:08 argonel: That's another Change that's not directly related to the Plasma 5 Change. 15:18:17 heliocastro: I spend half hour everyday to get it working next day but let's hope it will be better in time :) 15:18:46 jreznik: I'm using self compiled with clang 15:19:07 The only relation is that kcm_touchpad needs to get ported both to KF5 (not sure what the upstream status is there) and to libinput. 15:19:50 * rdieter adds that to the tracker 15:21:00 I've been running Plasma5 for, oh, 3 weeks now. It has.....issues. 15:21:18 There's a bug i'm tracking on the notification + screen energy saving 15:21:26 .bug 1174839 15:21:28 rdieter: Bug 1174839 kcm_touchpad kf5 port - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1174839 15:21:51 but on the other hand, plasma 5 is the first DE that at least somehow supports HiDPI 15:21:55 If you receive a notification during screen off on nergy saving, plasmashell frezes 15:22:00 it could be good selling point 15:22:07 indeed 15:23:04 oh, can't forget sddm-kcm 15:23:21 rdieter: yep, we need list of kcms 15:23:34 all list of all stuff that does not make sense in 4/5 combo 15:23:37 yeah, sddm is rather important ;) 15:24:09 (and still needs some polishing) 15:24:28 actually it's not possible to mix 4/5 kcms 15:24:33 is there any kf5 equivalent to kcm-gtk yet? 15:24:54 Speaking of sddm-kcm, that thing urgently needs updating for the config file changes in SDDM 0.10. 15:25:03 Right now, what we ship in F21 mostly doesn't work! 15:25:12 there's https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/workspace/kde-gtk-config 15:25:19 upstream hasn't released kcm-gtk yet. there is a thread in plasma-devel 15:25:22 but that one has design issues (imo) 15:25:35 doesn't integrate with xsetting-kde (afaik) 15:26:11 not that our kcm-gtk is great in that regard either, but it mostly works 15:27:06 I guess I'll have to have a look at the GTK+ stuff (including xsettings-kde), to see what I can do to make it just work also in Plasma 5. 15:27:44 the one that we currently use is much better and less buggy. 15:28:22 For sddm-kcm, there's this one that needs fixing NOW: 15:28:25 .bug 1173825 15:28:28 .bug 1174848 15:28:28 Kevin_Kofler: Bug 1173825 sddm-kcm writes obsolete sddm.conf syntax that sddm does not understand anymore - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1173825 15:28:34 rdieter: Bug 1174848 kf5 kde-gtk-config - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1174848 15:28:52 and this in the KF5 port tracking bug: 15:28:53 #topic plasma5 plan/blockers 15:28:55 .bug 1174843 15:28:57 Kevin_Kofler: Bug 1174843 sddm-kcm kf5 port - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1174843 15:28:59 forgot to update topic 15:29:23 ok, I think I just filed bugs for all the essential kcm's 15:29:28 donniezazen: I agree. 15:29:40 The problem is that upstream decided to "officialize" the other one. 15:30:18 I was trying out the other one last week in Kubuntu. There are options that are there but they don't seem to get applied. 15:30:18 (which I think makes sense in an environment without xsettings-kde, but with xsettings-kde, we will have to hide/remove most of the settings it offers because they'll be ignored in favor of KDE settings) 15:30:21 so there is that. 15:30:34 the one we use at least works as advertised. 15:30:48 That said, xsettings-kde also needs to be adapted to new KF5 settings locations. 15:30:50 iirc, all the reviews referenced in the plasma5 blocker are done, not sure of import status (I'll check some now) 15:31:24 yeah, many still have no scm requests submitted, I can help with that post-meeting 15:31:59 rdieter: I think dvratil wanted to wait until the rest of packages are reviewed 15:32:07 jgrulich: what's left? 15:32:26 are there more that need to be submitted and reviewed besides what is already on the tracker? 15:32:28 rdieter: I haven't seen packages like plasma-workspace, plasma-desktop 15:32:47 ok, looks like we're still missing a lot 15:33:16 when we get a chance, can ask dvratil if he wants or needs any help getting those all submitted for review 15:34:56 * heliocastro raise hand to help 15:35:22 then the rest of the team pitching in to help with review tasks, of course. 15:35:43 rdieter: dvratil is on vacation since last friday and will be until the end of this year 15:36:23 jgrulich: yeah, thanks. otoh, the holidays for some is a good time to help work on this stuff 15:36:50 I wonder if you would mind if we just snatched what was latest in the plasma5 copr, and submitted it for him 15:37:50 rdieter: I'm fine with that, but I can't speak instead of dvratil :) 15:38:27 but he is usually available on IRC so we can ask him later 15:38:32 anyone interested in that task? (I think I've volunteered do to 2-3 things after the meeting already) 15:38:46 I can do that 15:38:56 jgrulich: great thanks 15:39:09 I'll ping him and ask him if I can submit some packages instead of him to speedup the process 15:39:34 #action jgrulich will work with dvratil to get remaining plasma5-related packages submitted for review asap 15:40:36 anything else plasma5-related to discuss for now? 15:44:43 I'll take that as a no 15:44:47 #topic open discussion 15:45:08 anything else? heliocastro, any PK/apper or lxqt news worth mentioning? 15:45:18 rdieter: lxqt 15:45:34 There's at least three persons start to using and report issues 15:45:56 Is good, because i ḿ fine tuning the install. I need now do theme packaging 15:46:12 and need itroduce group on comps 15:46:24 No PK/apper news now 15:47:17 PK/Apper, I am looking after heliocastro's pull request, making sure all the objections from hughsie get addressed. 15:47:31 Last I checked (yesterday), there are still some open ones. 15:48:01 Once everything's addressed, I hope hughsie will have another look, or if not, I'll try to nag him. 15:48:25 https://github.com/hughsie/PackageKit/pull/20 15:49:15 I can give an update on Calamares. 15:49:33 A snapshot is now in updates-testing for F21, will reach updates soon. 15:50:50 Not sure whether I already mentioned this in a logged meeting, but there is one packaging change that I plan, dropping the NoDisplay=true; from the .desktop file (that the live kickstarts are expected to sed away, a hack copied from Anaconda liveinst packaging), and instead remove the calamares package after installation (which Calamares can easily do). 15:51:21 So then you'll get a menu entry if you yum install Calamares on a live image that doesn't ship with it. 15:51:26 But that will be for the next update. 15:52:26 I'm also working on packaging ufw-kde, I have an initial package of ufw now (not yet submitted for review, I want to have ufw-kde first), but not the KDE part. 15:52:44 I also don't know what the KF5 port status of ufw-kde is (it's a KCM). 15:53:30 That'll be a nice KDE alternative to the GTK+ firewall-config then, but it needs ufw instead of firewalld. 15:56:51 thanks for the updates, if there's nothing else, I'll end the meeting shortly 16:00:21 k, thanks everyone! 16:00:23 #endmeeting
