Hi,
the next TW snapshot 20240311 contains KDE Plasma 6.0.1, Gear 24.02.0 and Frameworks 6.0.0: https://kde.org/announcements/megarelease/6/
Plasma 5 will be replaced, it is no longer part of the repository.
There are a few minor issues in this snapshot found by openQA but not considered severe enough to actually block the snapshot from getting published. They'll all be fixed with Plasma 6.0.2 in one of the next snapshots, also for those installing or upgrading now.
1. For fresh installs, the GTK theme is not set correctly: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482763 Workaround is to either set it manually in systemsettings or run "kded5" once in a terminal or krunner.
2. For upgrades (any version), the launcher icon switches to the Plasma one: https://github.com/openSUSE/plasma-opensuse/pull/25 Workaround is to change the icon manually to "start-here-branding" for now.
3. Upgrades from very old systems fail due to "libksysguard5-helper": https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1221350 When upgrading from Leap <= 15.3, you might encounter
Problem: libksysguard5-plugins-5.27.10-2.2.x86_64 requires libprocesscore.so.9()(64bit), but this requirement cannot be provided
As workaround, select the "deinstallation of libksysguard5-helper"

4. Plasmashell takes 25s during start if bluetooth not available: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481870 If kdeconnect-kde is installed on a system without bluetooth HW, it
delays
Plasma start by 25s. Workaround is to disable the KDE Connect systray icon.
5. The etesync resource is broken in kdepim-runtime 24.02.0. It will be back in one of the next snapshots.
The Wayland session isn't default yet, that will have to be switched in a separate step later. This also makes it possible to differentiate whether bugs are more likely caused by Plasma 6 itself or the Wayland session.
Have a lot of fun, the openSUSE KDE packaging team
i have been running plasma5 via wayland and during the installation of the megarelease i got kicked out of the graphical session, unable to start an X session again. i didn't pay attention to what was being installed at the time :-/ rebooted and went back to the working plasma5 session via 'snapper rollback.' next time i booted into init3 and the megarelease installed fine. rebooting into init5 started ok with wayland active. the only trouble i've noticed so far is that my custom shortcut keys don't work. they have been imported into systemsettings but none of them work. trying to assign the same shortcut tells me that it's already being used, but even assigning a different one, the new one won't work either. there's no error messages or such. other keyboard shortcuts do work, just not those under "custom shortcuts service." i'll have to play around with this some more, perhaps filing a bug if there isn't one already. -- phani. -- phani.
