Temporary fixes if you are using Plasma 6.0 Beta 2 from kde-unstable

[UPDATE: Fixes for 1 and 2 are now in kde-unstable and no longer needed.]

1. Blank screen when lockscreen and logout:

git clone https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/plasma-integration.git
cd plasma-integration
git checkout kde-unstable

Replace PKGBUILD with https://gist.github.com/jinliu/950cdc8c … bbed55eaa5, then

makepkg -si

2. Recent file not recorded:

git clone https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/kactivitymanagerd.git
cd kactivitymanagerd
git checkout kde-unstable

Replace PKGBUILD with https://gist.github.com/jinliu/4f643294 … 6f56dd8d1a, then

makepkg -si
systemctl --user restart plasma-kactivitymanagerd.service

3. Dolphin empty dirs have expander arrows:

git clone https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/dolphin.git
cd dolphin
git checkout kde-unstable

Replace PKGBUILD with https://gist.github.com/jinliu/6f477493 … 76ab025cf2, then

makepkg -si

Thanks. It would be much more useful if you submitted merge requests, though (backporting the relevant commits instead of packaging git head)

Sorry, but I don't know where to submit MRs. To some private repos for kde-unstable? Or export these commits as patches?

Anyway, do we really want to do backports for a beta release in an unstable repo?

To the respective Arch packaging repos (targeting the kde-unstable branch)

Anyway, do we really want to do backports for a beta release in an unstable repo?

For critical issues such as 1, we definitely do (already done). Otherwise people will keep reporting it. Maybe not for 3.

Makes sense. Then I'll just keep 2 and 3 to myself (and people like-minded). It seems much simpler to modify official PKGBUILDs than to use *-git packages and rebuild everything.

No. 1 and 2 are no longer needed.
