Bug#1025715: Qt/KDE Team release plans for bookworm
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers <debian-qt-kde@lists.debian.org>
Dear Release Team,
with the freeze approaching the Qt/KDE Team has put up a document [0]
to share our release goals for the Qt and KDE stack for bookworm. We’d
like to encourage you to have a look at it.
As a quick summary, we target the following versions for bookworm :
- Qt 5 : 5.15.7
- Qt 6 : 6.4.2
- KDE Frameworks (libs) : 5.101
- Plasma (desktop) : 5.27.2
- KDE Gear (apps) 22.12.2
These targets should be mostly uneventful for all but Plasma.
For Plasma, version 5.27.0 will be released on Feb 14. so 2 days after
the beginning of the soft freeze.
What I would like to do is upload the 5.27 beta to unstable when it’s
released on Jan 19. and then consider the official 5.27.0 as a « small
update » on top of 5.27 beta that would be suitable for upload during the
soft freeze period.
It’s usually the case that between beta and .0 releases of Plasma the
changes are fixes targetted at bugs raised during the beta period. So I
think it’s not too far fetched of an interpretation.
It’s particularly important that we get Plasma 5.27 into bookworm
because this will be the last upstream release based on Qt 5 and we
expect it to receive important fixes for a long time, unlike our current
5.26.x which is more of an interim release and won’t get upstream fixes
after the last 5.26.5 point release on Jan 3.
Feedback welcome.
