FWIW I did the upgrade yesterday, as it's now required (as you know) for |
| 8 |
the live-git kde-*/*-9999 packages in the kde overlay. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Timing happened to be a bit rough as I had been working through a bunch of |
| 11 |
upstream kde git-master breakage over the last couple weeks and still had |
| 12 |
a couple critical packages that I had /just/ figured out how to get to |
| 13 |
rebuild... when I had to do the 5.15.3 upgrade too, but after pulling an |
| 14 |
all-nighter last night, I had everything at least building again early |
| 15 |
this morning. But the freshly upgraded plasma-wayland wouldn't actually |
| 16 |
run, even after reboot, etc. Glad I have weston as a backup! =:^) |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
After work (without sleep) today, I synced and did the normal @world deep- |
| 19 |
update, then smart-live-rebuilt todays updates, and luckily there weren't |
| 20 |
additional unfixed breaking updates in the last ten days, and I could |
| 21 |
FINALLY get back into a fully updated in-sync-with-upstream live-git- |
| 22 |
master kde, on top of the fresh qt 5.15.3, the first time I've been fully |
| 23 |
updated and operational since I was last in sync March 7. =:^) |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I still have some bug fallout to file, gentoo/kde-overlay or upstream, |
| 26 |
after I recover with a bit more sleep (and update my backups at my new |
| 27 |
known-working state), and I can't say the upgrade was at all smooth tho |
| 28 |
that's timing as much as anything, but I *CAN* report my normal plasma- |
| 29 |
wayland session and everything I've tested so far is working fine with qt |
| 30 |
5.15.3 now! =:^) |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
And of course if I didn't enjoy the challenge and edginess of a bit of |
| 33 |
breakage every now and again I'd not be running ~arch plus live-git of all |
| 34 |
of kde along with a few other misc packages... It sucks when it breaks but |
| 35 |
there's nothing like the high of FINALLY having a fully working fully in- |
| 36 |
sync system after struggling with it for a couple weeks. Thanks for both |
| 37 |
the new qt and all those live kde-*/*-9999 ebuilds. =:^) |
