    Dear fellow developers and Plasma users,

    after some months living in experimental and lots of positive feedback, we're about to upload Plasma 6 to unstable.
    The plans of the Qt / KDE team is to release Trixie with :
    - Qt 5 & 6
    - KDE Frameworks 5 aka KF5 (based on Qt 5) & KF6 (based on Qt6)
    - Plasma 6 (based on KF6 and Qt6)
    - KDE Gear applications of the moment. We expect to ship a mix of KF5 and KF6-based Gear applications depending on where upstream is with their porting effort of these mostly independent applications.

    What we won’t be supporting for Trixie are Plasma 5 libraries, so if you maintain rdeps of Plasma 5 libraries now is time to port them to Plasma 6 or to remove them from testing. We’ve filed bugs for all the rdeps not in our team’s perimeter some
    weeks back [1]. We will be bumping their severity to RC in preparation the upload of Plasma 6 to unstable. We've tried our best to identify affected packages but we may have missed some so if you know your packages depend on Plasma and they're not in
    this list please do double check compatibility with Plasma 6.

    Plasma 6 has now migrated to testing/trixie and things are looking pretty good.

    We’re maintaining a list of notable changes and issues here :
    https://wiki.debian.org/Plasma%206

    Contributions are welcome.


    Happy hacking,

    That's great news! Thanks for all the work!

    … and I won’t take it personally. There are many people to thank for this from our dear upstream KDE contributors to the Debian Qt/KDE team members or adventurous users who tried our early experimental packages and provided valuable feedback.

    I’ll just mention the Qt/KDE team members whether established (Patrick, Pino, Sandro, Scarlett, Simon), somewhat new to the team (Jesse, Nicholas, Salvo) or old-timers still lingering around (Dmitry, Lisandro, Sune ;).
    They’ve done most of the packaging work on our 36 Qt6, 72 KDE Frameworks 6, 63 Plasma 6, nearly 250 KDE Gear (applications) and various other supporting libraries’ source packages producing more than a thousand binary packages, and on the automation
    tooling around it.

    A mention to the FTP Masters team for keeping up with our so many new packages during the 5 to 6 transition.

    Another mention to Rik Mills from Kubuntu for always providing insightful feedback and helping keep our packaging divergence to a minimum.

    And a special thanks again to Patrick for inspiring, driving or doing so much of the work.
