MX Modified - Latest MX KDE 5.22 Using MX21 beta

[norbert]

Builds finished for i386 and x86_64 for all releases. So all good for testing.

Ok, I sent plasma-workspace 5.23.5-1~np2 to the OSC servers. Should be rebuilt in reasonable time.

Please test.

Thank you, works in VBox! I will run updates on my machine later...

EDIT: Works on my machine as well (Plasma 5.23 from your repo)

Thank you both ! Now can we expect this to be back-ported to bullseye and inherited by MX, or should i specifically ask the MX devs ?

Also Norbert, when you say 'Builds finished for i386 and x86_64 for all releases", does that mean there is a deb package for bullseye and plasma 5.20 somewhere on your repo ready for testing ?

[norbert]

Not for plasma 5.20, sorry.

@baldyeti create an identical environment in VBox and then upgrade to 5.23. Test for couple of days and if everything (including apps you use daily) works fine, upgrade your machine :)

I usually have at least one spare SSD and I always upgrade/reinstall to a "fresh" disk. This way I can put the old one back if anything goes south...

@norbert I built KDE Kalendar from https://invent.kde.org/pim/kalendar and it works just fine in 5.23 (imported caldav from my server, clock/calendar shows my events)
Could you include it in your repos? Not now, but whenever you're going to prepare a new version or just feeling like it :)

[norbert]

Hi @markol
I have added kalendar to the

Code: Select all

other

repo, but currently builds are broken due to the libwacom transition - nothing I can do for now.
After some time (no idea, probably 1-2 days) it should be available.

thank you @norbert

Mmmh, sorry i am not going to leave "stable". I will ask for a build in the MX test repo. Should i just point devs to the patch or is there a more direct link we can give them (to norbert's patched kdeconnect source deb) ?

Yeah, sounds like a good idea, just point them to this thread. There should be enough info but I'm sure they will contact norbert if needed.
