Hi, ksysguard, kwayland-server, plasma-active-window-control, plasma-redshift-control, and plasma-tests are now archived.

Afaik that was an old attempt on a plasmoid test suite for ci which didn't go anywhere... I would say obsoleted by the appium stuff, so archive -- Marco Martin

Lancelot stopped being developed since Plasma 4, with some ideas of a revival in some form, which didn't happen. The repository contains a few infrastructure things meant for it, but it has stagnated for quite some time now.

Plasma repositories sprint cleaning
Hi, while porting Plasma repos to Qt6 I've come across several repos in the plasma/ namespace on invent that I found questionable: - khotkeys: consensus seems to be to abandon it, because maintaining two global shortcut systems is no joy: https://phabricator.kde.org/T2050. It's still released with 5.27 though - ksysguard: We stopped releasing/maintaining it several releases ago. Not part of any supported release. Could be archived? - kwrited: The functionality is kind of old/niche. Is it worth having at all? If yes, given it is quite tiny, would it make sense to fold it into plasma-desktop instead of having it separate? - kwayland-server: Obsolete implementation detail. Not released any more. Can probably be archived now - lancelot: An alternative Plasma launcher. No releases, not much activity in recent years. If anyone cares about it it might be better of maintained outside of KDE to avoid impression that it is "officially" supported - plasma-active-window-control: No release, a little activity in recent times. What do we do with it? - plasma-redshift-control: No releases. Does this provide anything interesting compared to the "official" night color stuff? - plasma-simplemenu: Had releases in the past, but last one is from 4 years ago. Semi-active recently. Might be worth incorporating into proper Plasma release? - plasma-tests: Is this useful at all? - smaragd: Last release 5 years ago. Not a whole lot of activity since then. Make it part of the proper Plasma release or kill it? I'm asking this mainly to see what "needs" to be ported to Qt6/Plasma6, but I also think it's important to have a clear messaging about what we as a "Plasma Team" properly support and what is on a best-effort basis by whoever feels like supporting it. Cheers Nico
