KDE Frameworks update to 5.70, merge requests

[Norbert Preining]

Hi Sandro,

thanks for your emails, let me comment on a few items:
- concerning changelog formats, you might have seen that all the *new*
  MR contain the changelog in the format described by the KDE/Qt
  packaging policy. I refrained from force-pushing all the frameworks.
  Apps and Plasma have correct changelog entries.
- You said that the packages "are not even buildable": I can assure you,
  they build, since quite some time, otherwise I couldn't have them on
  my computer and several others, too. Check the build status on OBS,
  if you want confirmation.
- bumping release: You might have not have checked enough, but I have
  updated all the B-D in Plasma and KDE Apps to the versions specified
  in the CMakeList.txt.
- Concerning Apps 20.04.1: That was a failure of my side not having
  pushed the branch to my clone. They are now there.
  Then you can check that I actually checked each single package and
  updated the dependencies according to CMakeList.xt, despite your
  claims that I only bump dependencies.
- Concerning commits that only bumps changelog: So what should be done
  if nothing else is necessary? Things don't materialize out of nothing!


I am not playing games with you or the the team, I am trying to get
uptodate KDE/Plasma into Debian, and I have done lot of hand work and
manually checking files.

If you are not interested in it, this is up to you.

And claiming that I don't follow the rules is again incorrect, all new
MR have chnagelog format according to your rules. Please remain
reasonable.

Finally, I have to say, it seems you have a different agenda then
updating KDE/Plasma, otherwise why would you bring up dovecot here?
This is a completely unrelated topic. And on a side note, I maintain
enough packages, and wanted updates of dovecot on **buster**, which will
not happen even if I update dovecot in unstable. So please, leave this
kind of decision to me, and **not** try to deduce some bad intentions,
only because you seem not to like what I do.

Anyway, feel free to take and leave whatever you need.

Have a nice day

Norbert
