Hi All, Many of you may already know I'm working on a pre-integration work relate to Plasma 5 in Staging Project - Switch Plasma 5 to default KDE desktop. The goal is make sure we can smoothly move to Plasma 5 as default KDE desktop before those changes get into Factory(Tumbleweed). This mail is a short report, give you a quick overview of the current status, and understand where we are now. All works is in Staging I[1] currently, so it would not effect the rest of stagings or even Factory. Thanks openSUSE KDE Team, the packages are almost ready, and few issues also got fixed when we observed it in openQA, now, what things already done(or almost done)? * PLasma 5 packages and its deps are ready[1] * update patterns[2] * skelcd-control update been submitted, waiting for merge[3] * a fresh installation can pass openQA test[4] - all green now! Everything looks quite well. But during adjusting openQA tests, I discover we still have some more work need to do to get this transition pass Staging Project, * Update test can not pass openQA: it tested update from a Tumbleweed snapshot to current Staging I, according to the result[5], it seems still need some more work, 1) kdm still there! and since DISPLAYMANAGER param doesn't change, system is launch kdm indeed. 2) per above, if user enabled autologin, kdm may bring user to whatever desktop session after update, because kdebase4-session got removed already, and if more than one desktop session(eg. icewm) installed there, it may boot into wrong session than what you expect - plasma5 session. So I think we need a better way to handle update. * Improve sddm: sddm may better to handle with AUTOLOGIN, the installer provides a autologin option there, but it will not work with sddm. This is the current status of Staging I. If you checked Staging I and think I'm missing something there, please let me know! And any feedback welcome :) Note: I'll random rebase Staging I, ie. re-build Staging I with the latest souce from Factory at some point, make sure Staging I not so far from current Tumbleweed snapshot.
