[Debian-on-mobile-maintainers] Bug#1073294: plasma-settings uses excessive CPU time when doing nothing

[Marco Mattiolo]

Hi,

thank you for taking a look into plasma-settings and spending the time 
to analyse the situation so deeply.

As for all issues related to Qt5/KF5/Plasma5, we are unlikely to get any 
support by upstream developers, as their workforce is limited and 
focused on Plasma6.

On Debian side, the Debian Qt/KDE team has been working a lot in last 
months to package the stack needed to get Plasma6 into the archive. As 
far as I see, up-to-date situation has Qt6.6 in sid, hopefully 
transitioning soon to trixie, while KF6 is being prepared in 
experimental. After KF6 is uploaded to sid, it should be possible to 
package new version of plasma-settings.

As you pointed out, the root of this issue could be either in 
plasma-settings, either in plasma-mobile. For the latter to be packaged 
in its 6.x version, it will also take plasma-workspace and similar 
packages to be prepared by the Qt/KDE team. Hopefully a matter of few 
months...

To summarize, I suggest to get back to this analysis when we have both 
plasma-settings and plasma-mobile in their up-to-date releases in 
Debian. It's likely that the issue is not there anymore in new releases, 
as Plasma6 was a major rewrite and they addressed a lot of issues in the 
meanwhile...

Kind regards

Marco
