I wanted to write up why Plasma stable is failing on CI so that we have a written down record. (and so we don't keep getting told off by sysadmins for not fixing it)
Plasma 5.7 requires Qt 5.6 The "stable-kf5-qt5 " layer on CI builds against Qt 5.5 *Can we set Plasma stable to use latest Qt/Frameworks (the kf5-qt5 layer master uses):* Yes, but: [10:06] <bcooksley> you'll just end up without a CI on your master *Can we update the stable-kf5-qt5 layer to use a newer Qt:* Not without upping the Qt used by Applications/16.04 *Could we add another layer:* [10:04] <bcooksley> new layer is even more painful [10:04] <bcooksley> requires adjusting the DSL [10:04] <bcooksley> and building Qt another time [10:05] <bcooksley> plus all of Frameworks [10:05] <bcooksley> and anything else which Plasma happens to need in there *Is there a long term plan:* Michael Pyne/Ben have a thread redesigning logical-module-strucutre in that long email thread somewhere. See thread "Proposal to improving KDE Software Repository Organization" *Is there a short term plan:* Personally I think our our only viable short term options are: - forcing Qt5.6 on the stable branches of applications. Theoretically it won't break anything (though in practice who knows) - turning off the CI for Plasma stable for now. I'm not sure what other options there are. David
