That's the Qt5 version.

Re: [Kde-unstable] KF6 QT6 Transition

@arojas, can I ask you why important apps like dolphin, ark, gwenview, okular and ktorrent are not uploaded yet, while others that I didn't even know existed like kweather or kontrast are already in the kde-unstable repository?

Because there are only so many hours in the day and I do have a day job.

I understand that and you are doing a great job as a KDE maintainer. I just found it curious why probably the most important KDE app, next to Konsole, was not yet uploaded while other less important ones are already uploaded.

Re: [Kde-unstable] KF6 QT6 Transition

Have you followed the instructions from the wiki?

Yes. I had done this before installing Plasma 6, and also checked that the instructions hadn't updated since. My config matched the wiki's.
Cheers.

Really? Because it's a mess here, especially Wayland session.

Yup. Couple of Plasmoids I was using hasn't been ported yet (that's fine), Kwin only reliably crashes when I use edit mode, and the application dashboard (fullscreen application drawer) has some issues, but otherwise it's great on my machine.

That's the Qt5 version.

upstream is now qt6, and the pkgbuild is correct to cacht it, you need enable [kde-unstable] for build it

Re: [Kde-unstable] KF6 QT6 Transition

Dolphin 24.01.75 is in the repo now, but it seems to pull phonon-qt5-backend and with it a lot of kf5 qt5 dependencies... i don't think this is correct.

Re: [Kde-unstable] KF6 QT6 Transition

then seems the port is not finished and not ready for use

Are you sure? If you look at PKGBUILD changes, and if am not wrong, there are no packages with qt5 dependencies there: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … af2367d37b

Re: [Kde-unstable] KF6 QT6 Transition

Ok, i saw you edited your answer. I am trying Plasma 6 on a VirtualBox machine. I didn´t install dolphin package yet because I want to avoid qt5 packages.

Re: [Kde-unstable] KF6 QT6 Transition

Noisy week!

More packages are added, kde gear is among them and things have calmed down. Plasma-framework5 is gone, same for the boot delay. Shut Down is missing under Power/Session in application menu. Despite the fact that we have a root password, root access (su:#) is not stable.

The rest sounds good,

No problem.

I finally installed dolphin-git from aur, removing qt5 dependencies from PKGBUILD first.
