And no - a rolling release, source-based distribution is among the worst placed to hold back packages at a specific version, and we are not prepared to backport fixes to 6.7 ad nauseam. Yes, there are ~2 different Plasma release branches available to Gentoo users at one time. We've declared for how long we can make a commitment to 6.7 stable, as cited by the user, and it came with instructions: https://www.gentoo.org/support/news-items/2026-10-15-plasma68-retires-x11.html That might enable you to hang on to 6.7 until 6.9 will be released. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
