House Keeping Topics
- Getting started page
- new page in preparation at Yocto/GettingStarted
- goal: understand what KDE embedded is about and how to get started
- comments for current state:
- explain difference between layers and product/demo
- references to Yocto documentation
- CI
- use riscv as default target, because this is not tested by any other CI
- current work in progress, following concept of last year
- layers.open-embedded.org
- meta-kde, meta-kf5 and meta-kf6 are registered
- meta-kf6 currently not found because of parsing errors because of meta-qt6 branch structure
- according to OE upstream, this will take quite some time until the layer parsing is fixed, because it is rather a rewrite of the website
- fill QTBUG and discuss upstream if they can provide alias branches for kirkstone, mickledore... to help OE passing the parsing
- status of KF6 and Qt6 based packaging in general
- kf6 builds & works
- plasma-6 works as desktop shell, others not yet
- remaining problematic Qt5-only dependency is Maliit Keyboard
- all device specific patches could be removed
- applications not being built for now
Discussion on General Scope of Embedded in KDE
- we have the following main goals:
- work on demos: we want to attract people outside of the typical desktop communities
- work on meta layer packaging: we want to make industry adoption of KDE software easier
- ideas for story arc for next FOSDEM's demo stall (or any other conference)
- focus on topics around home-automation/home infotainment (full screen Elisa, full screen system monitor...)
- simple Plasma nano based shell for switching full screen apps?
- combination with shell switch mechanism to desktop shell?
