Release Schedule for LTS: - start off as normal (as in the wiki) - then release individual packages as needed on an ad-hoc basis. - new LTS every 18 months when the previous one ends
LTS and frameworks: - Officially we encourage people to use latest frameworks, but: - 5.26 can get backports for security and major fixes for the duration. - Will be done by David F by cherry-picking from master and creating new tags. There will be no visible branch. Normal Plasma releases: - There was a proposal to change our 3 months schedule, to 6/1/4/whatever - Summary: There are valid merits to both longer and shorter, but neither wins. Lets just leave it. Speeding up packages: - We should start using the frameworks style keywords in commit logs so we can automate the release anouncements more. Especially the bug fix releases. KHotkeys: - to be binned for 5.9 - we need to fix kmenuedit - we need to move spectacle / other defaults to the new shortcuts KCM - custom shortcuts for custom scripts now involve the user creating a .desktop file by hand, we consider that fine. - kconf update script to move existing scripts to shortcuts KCM or kwin scripts if it's on window activation. Marco and Martin G are volunteering to that respectively Wayland: - Martin gave a summary of all the things - SDDM in wayland is an important thing to do - plan is to launch kwin_wayland round the greeter - will need security locked down in kwin - will need to be in a config as it's shared - detect if it fails and restart with X if needed - we will then know if wayland works before we launch the real session - Plan to make Neon support wayland when that SDDM thing is in Other people led some other more specific topics, can those people write them up please.
