Hi,
the master branch of frameworks repositories now required Qt6 to build.
Maintenance of KF5 continues in the "kf5" branch.
Those using kdesrc-build make sure your kdesrc-builrc contains
"branch-group kf5-qt5", then it will switch to the correct branch
automatically.
Those building manually please adjust your workflow accordingly.
Any merge requests for frameworks should target Qt6/master (unless they
are not applicable there). If the change should be backported to KF5
cherry-pick it to the kf5 branch after merging.
Note that for the time being the kf5 branch has to stay compatible with
Qt6. This is required to keep the currently existing Qt6 builds
working.
This does *not* mean that master is now open for any kind of breaking
change. We will announce more on this soon.
Assuming no major issues with our tooling crop up soon we will proceed
with the following changes:
- Bump the KF_VERSION in master to 5.240.0. At some point we will
release one or more beta versions, which will have 5.250.0 etc as
version number. This is to follow the practice of .80/.90 version
numbers, but slightly adjusted to account for 255 being the technical
upper limit.
- Drop build system code to build with Qt5
- Rename library/target names to KF6
- Drop deprecated API. To ensure compatibility with existing Qt6 builds
this will initially be done only for API that was deprecated before
5.100 since that is what the current Qt6 CI enforces. Eventually we of
course want to drop everything deprecated, but that requires porting
consumers of it first.
I expect this to happen over the next few days. I will announce once
this is done and master is open for more invasive changes.
Hi,
as an update to this:
We are currently progressing nicely with this, but are not done yet.
Some amount of instability/breakage is expected, so *I do not recommend*
to try and use frameworks master until things have settled down a bit.
Doing so prematurely would only cause extra work for everyone involved.
I will announce once things have settled enough to start working on more
things.
Hi,
the items mentioned are now done. We are now mostly in the process of
ironing out some edges and wrapping up some loose ends.
There's a list of "TODO after branching" tasks in
https://phabricator.kde.org/tag/kf6/ as well as a lot of "TODO KF6"
comments all across our codebase. Help with going through them and
addressing them is appreciated.
master is open for regular development as well as breaking changes.
Cheers
Nico
