Issues with: kf6-prison_6.23.0~rc1-1_source.changes ACCEPTED into experimental

[Aurélien COUDERC]

Dear Boyuan,

first let me thank you for your multiple contributions to the packaging of KDE software, we have a huge number of packages to maintain in the team and your help is really appreciated !

Regarding your KF 6.23 uploads there are multiple issues that I want to raise :
- We never mix framework (or plasma) x.y packages versions. That's entirely not tested and to the best of my knowledge not supported by upstream. If your going to upgrade KF6 you have to upload the whole package set and ensure each package builds with its build dependencies of the same version, from extra-cmake-modules up to the leaves of the KF6 package set. There are several helper tools in the pkg-kde-dev-scripts repo to help with this.
- The tars made available in advance of official release are for packagers to prepare the packages but (again to the best of my knowledge) are considered not released yet/private at this stage, and we are given access only under the condition that we don't make them publicly available to our users. There may be blockers and respins if the packages before the official release (and that does happen regularly). So don't upload these before their official releases.

If you want to work on the KF6 or Plasma package set your welcome to do so but don't do it without review from Patrick or myself for now. (I'm guessing you needed a newer version of prison for one of the KDE apps, right ? 🙂)

It's true that our rules of how things should be done are not clearly written somewhere so please coordinate with us on this list or on the #debian-qt-kde IRC channel before working on either KF or Plasma.


Again thank you for your contribution and let's keep in touch.


Happy hacking,
