What is the Plan for integration of Plasma 5 into Current?
by slack-uke from LinuxQuestions.org on (#590NX)
I was curious what the plan / road-map is for integration of Plasma 5 into Slackware Current?
I am quite aware of alienbob's Ktown repository and is apparent alot of good work has been done there.
Is the plan to wait for the next LTS release of Plasma 5 or choose a version of Plasma 5 like 5.20.X ? I understand that the next LTS version of Plasma 5 after 5.18.X is to occur when Plasma 6 is to be released which by all indications is sometime next mid-to-late Spring.
Plasma 5 Version 5.20.0 is scheduled to be released on October 13th and looks like to be a major feature upgrade to Plasma 5. I noticed that Ktown has embraced the 5.19.X variant in the last upgrades this year.
Reason for asking is it is my suspicion that the integration of Plasma 5 into Current is the last major hurdle before the release of Slackware 15.0.
Just curious is what is the path / criterion?
Thank You to all the developers for all the hard work over the years that had made Slackware my goto default linux since the mid-to-late 1990's.
