> Title: Plasma Profile to enable PipeWire, Wayland support TLDR: Thanks! FWIW, I'm not a plasma profile user (no no-multilib variant) and had already encountered some of this with the (luckily) then-transient plasma- workspace pipewire deps as well as the (more permanent) spectacle pipewire dep (which without this guide, triggered an unmerge as less useful than the time it would take me to get upto speed with a maintainable-working/secure pipewire config). But while I am still alsa-based, no pipewire/pulse (yet?), I'm already wayland-migrated and in fact have no xorg on the system (xwayland is my only X), so that part's already done, here. And this NEWS-item/guide is very clear (definitely more so than my previous partial understanding), both in the choices to be made and implications thereof, and in the practical how-to of how-to-get-there-from-where-you-are configuration whatever one's choices are. While I still have to think about it, armed with this I feel far more confident in switching on pipewire, and with it installed anyway, perhaps even enabling it all the way, full pipewire sound/video-server and all. We'll see. So thanks, indeed. Just what I needed, despite not being a plasma profile user. And while I'm at it, thanks for all that work keeping gentoo/kde, especially the live-git packages and associated unmasking/sets/etc config in the overlay that I use, in such good shape as well. While it surely must help having many of the new deps caught and fixed well before release time, and I know a lot of the otherwise drudge work is now automated, kde's still awfully big to be dealing with all those live packages as I well know from the user side. And of course there's all the just coming 5->6 changes to deal with now too! So I surely appreciate the work you put in on the dev side to make my user-side possible. =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
