 K900 ⚡️ | In reply to @sigmasquadron:matrix.org
Are distros supposed to implement a license for the KAboutPage? Any program with a recent enough kcoreaddons that uses the new Kirigami about page includes a license/copyright button near the distribution information, but it's blank on every distro i've seen, including NixOS. I don't think so? | 20:40:00 |
| K900 ⚡️ | Feels weird, anyway | 20:40:06 |
| Fernando Rodrigues | odd to put a button in every app's about page that will always display no useful information:p | 20:40:31 |
| Fernando Rodrigues | * | 20:40:36 |
| K900 ⚡️ | Yeah but like what is the license of a distribution anyway | 20:41:45 |
| Fernando Rodrigues | i guess ours would be MIT | 20:42:52 |

 Marie | I don't think it that easy, since we are not only distributing MIT software | 12:11:43 |

| K900 ⚡️ | Nixpkgs itself is MIT | 12:16:58 |
| K900 ⚡️ | But what is the license of your exact NixOS config as installed | 12:17:08 |
| K900 ⚡️ | Who knows | 12:17:10 |
 emily | if it's "near the distribution information", I assume we are meant to put what we put in the NixOS licence file | 12:38:17 |
 outfoxxed | K900 I've got non nixos users experiencing qml cache related crashes so it might just be an upstream thing | 20:21:01 |
| K900 ⚡️ | Wew | 20:43:22 |
| K900 ⚡️ | Any idea if it's fixed in 6.9.1 | 20:43:27 |
 Vassilis Palassopoulos | I guess now that there is a 25.05 branch, all Plasma 5, frameworks 5, kde apps 5.x will be removed? | 23:07:13 |

| 19 May 2025 |
| K900 ⚡️ | Some frameworks will stay | 05:46:40 |
| K900 ⚡️ | Plasma 5 and Qt5-based versions of Gear are going | 05:46:53 |
| K900 ⚡️ | Except the parts that have not been ported to Qt6 yet which is very few of them | 05:47:03 |
 Grimmauld (migrated to @grimmauld:m.grimmauld.de) | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/407932 | python313Packages.shiboken2: mark broken
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/408671 | Some KDE applications are duplicated and use unmaintained/partially broken libsForQt5
When do we start dropping qt5 (or at least set qt6 default) on packages like this that have overrides to select qt version?

- plans to update default python to 3.13 in 25.11 (now the coming unstable)
- some packages having qt5 and qt6 support
When do we start dropping qt5 (or at least set qt6 default) on packages like this that have overrides to select qt version?
| 15:41:24 |
| K900 ⚡️ | Generally we want to keep whatever default upstreams have | 15:43:33 |
| K900 ⚡️ | e.g. Krita builds on Qt6 but we ship Qt5 because Qt6 has known issues | 15:43:50 |
| K900 ⚡️ | shiboken2 is whatever, we can probably drop pyqt5 after we drop Plasma | 15:44:09 |
| K900 ⚡️ | I started chopping off Plasma but got lost in the migraine | 15:45:07 |
| K900 ⚡️ | If anyone wants to start, be my guest | 15:45:18 |
| emily | do we have an update on the fate of Qt 5 WebEngine? | 15:45:28 |
