[FFe] KDE Frameworks 5.44.0 into the Bionic Archive

[Rik Mills]

This bug report is a Feature Freeze Exception request on behalf of the Kubuntu team for KDE Frameworks 5.44.0 (updated from 5.43.0).

https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.44.0.php

As is usual with a KDE Frameworks release, this is a mixture of new some new features and incremental important bugfixes.

We currently have this staged in ppa:kubuntu-ppa/staging-frameworks if you wish to inspect the packages.

We have also run autotests for amd64 and i386, which as far as we can test considering test infra differences seem ok, or at least do not cause additional regressions. However, should issues occur on those or other architectures, we commit to fixing those issues for release.

We also have testers that have been running a system with this staged update and have reported no problems.

I have been running/testing since shortly after tarballs were made available early to packagers ~ 1 week ago. I have not experienced any issues or regressions.

[Michael Marley (mamarley)]

I have been running this since Rik packaged it and I haven't had any problem either.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Marco Parillo (marco-parillo)]

I ran sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/staging-frameworks
Then sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y

The update looked clean, and I re-booted my VM using the kicker Application Launcher Leave > Reboot sequence (which sometimes does not work in major Plasma upgrades).

After Rebooting krunner successfully launched kinfocenter, which reported Plasma 5.12.3, Frameworks 5.44, and Qt 5.9.5. The kicker Application Launcher successfully launched Discover, Dolphin, Kate, Konsole, System Monitor, and System Settings, and all appeared to work fine.

Typo: s/Qt 5.9.5/Qt 5.9.4/

[Darin Miller (darinmiller)]

Upgrade to frameworks 5.44 was seamless here also. Rebooted and verified the following:

- KHolidays is working fine in the calendar
- kwallet working great
- baloo is running with minimal memory fingerprint and resource consumption
- kdesu (kdesudo) works as intended
- krunner works awesome as always.
- extra-cmake-modules installed (bug I have not had time to build anything with it yet)

No issues discovered. Great release by packagers and developer (as usual :).

[Adam Conrad (adconrad)]

Seems entirely reasonable to me, go for it, and close this bug in the upload(s).

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package plasma-framework - 5.44.0-0ubuntu1
