Qt 5 only
- kwayland-integration remains Qt 5 only as its features have been moved into kwindowsystem, this is still released and should still be packaged for compatibility with Qt 5 apps.
Dependencies which need new versions
KDE bits
- Phonon and Phonon-vlc - needs Phonon 4.12 and Phonon-vlc 0.1 which build for both Qt 5 and 6 at the same time
- libqaccessibilityclient - needs 0.5.0 for Qt 6 (Qt 5 builds can be dropped)
- kuserfeedback - needs 1.3.0 built for Qt 6 (and Qt 5 if you want it for Ruqola)
- kirigami-addons - needs 0.11.75 built for Qt 6
- polkit-qt-1 - needs new version built twice for Qt 5 and 6 - TODO release
- plasma-wayland-protocols - use latest release 1.11
External Bits
- Appstream - needs the unreleased 1.0, get it from Git
- libaccounts-qt, signon-ui (also called signon-qt-ui) and signond - new release needed for Qt 6 - TODO release
- PackagekitQt - use an up to date release built for Qt 6
- SDDM - distros may want to consider packaging SDDM from Git for use with Plasma 6 alpha which has a Qt 6 port, this is not required but allows to use the latest theming
New Depedencies
- xwaylandvideobridge - while not a strict dependency this allows for Screensharing Wayland apps
PAM configuration
To enable simultaneous password+fingerprint authentication on the lock screen, PAM configuration files need to be adjusted. The TL;DR version is to just copy the GNOME/GDM ones, which will now work for KDE's lock screen too. See https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kscreenlocker/-/merge_requests/163 for details.
