Goals

  • The KDE operating system
  • Quality experience
  • Keeping security in mind
  • No packaging knowledge
  • Focus on modern technologies
  • Useful to our users
  • Useful to would-be hardware partners
  • Useful to developers

systemd-sysext

systemd-sysext allows us to overlay developer content on top of /usr without impacting the base system.

Setup

# create directories
mkdir -p ~/kde/usr/lib/extension-release.d/
# create an extension-release file
cp /usr/lib/os-release ~/kde/usr/lib/extension-release.d/extension-release.kde
# make the ID ignored so updates don't break the extension
sed -i s%^ID=.*%ID=_any%g ~/kde/usr/lib/extension-release.d/extension-release.kde
# owned by root so it can't be removed
sudo chown root:root ~/kde/usr/lib/extension-release.d/extension-release.kde
# enable the extension
sudo mkdir /var/lib/extensions/
sudo ln -s $HOME/kde /var/lib/extensions/kde
sudo systemd-sysext merge
sudo systemd-sysext

Ideas

  • Automatic QA (openqa? Selenium? quicktest?)
  • Human QA tracking (test case management of some sort)
  • Health reporting into Sentry to identify bad releases
  • Support sending non-KDE crashes to Sentry
  • Better kde-builder dependency definitions
  • kde-builder to build release tags
  • Explore systemd-homed
  • Secure Boot
  • ARM/RISC-V images?
