Argh :'-) I've recompiled my whole Plasma yesterday against official 6.7.1 . Also Plasma 6.1 releases on June 13th, not long ahead.
Well, in case I will just exclude the package from being downgraded.

Giving that:

• alienBOB does not provide new versions of ktown or slackware64-live-ktown-current since Dec'23 (plasma6b2);
• slackware64-live-ktown-current image comes with all the required library versions to work out of the box;
• plasma6 early adopters in Slackware are either using OP binary packages, OP source packages or self made source packages;
• plasma6.0.5 compiles just fine with qt6.7;
• plasma6.1 is weeks ahead and requires qt6.7 anyway;

IMHO just let 6.7 be in the main tree. Advanced users playing with bleeding edge stuff like all the ones posting on this thread can handle any time being issues until plasma6.1 is ready for departure.

open-cv dep

on 'current' open-cv depend of qt5, on 'ktown' is depend of qt6

In fact, OpenCV is a dependency of DigiKam, and it contains neither classes for Qt6, nor even classes for Qt5.

As Slackware currently contains an up-to-date OpenCV package, together with Qt6 and Qt5, what is the point of maintaining a replacement?

Unfortunately, this KDE Gear 24.05.0 does not compile out of box in the top of LuckyCyborg's third build.

It seems that adjustments to the build system are needed and he works on this.

And if you're talking about it, how about making at least the sources of the build system public, just like him?

In this way, we can check if your approach really "builds fine" and "works fine" .

kdenlive, spectacle, depends also of opencv, these three packages are compiled with opencv, and also, with qt6. even if it has no real impact, it seems to me that it is cleaner

but hey, I suggest, you do what you want

here all is updated ( deps, plasma-extra, applications-extra, frameworks, plasma, gear ), I think I'll do it, like 'Eric' would do.

it's probably the only diff, with small details.

arch just updated gear 24.05.0 in the stable branch, if it's possible with arch, it's possible with slackware.

I don't understand why you insist on this antagonism you are doing between LuckyCyborg and Mr. Hameleers.

As far as I know, I assure you that LuckyCyborg does not have the slightest intention of taking over KTown, on the contrary, he is trying to help Mr. Hameleers starting from the assumption that he is convalescing after COVID.

That's why, for example, he insists on using Qt6 from Slackware-current, instead of distributing his own version of Qt6. Because in his blog Mr. Hameleers announced his intention to use Qt6 in this way.

On the other hand, although it is not believable for Westerners, who usually think only of their bellies, he wants Slackers to have Plasma6 available, even when Mr. Hameleers is on hiatus. He thinks in terms like "Greater Good" and "for the benefit of the community" , which terms I know that are currently untranslatable for many of those who live in Western Europe or America.

Believe it or not, he really wants those who use Slackware to have latest Plasma6 available if they want to try it. Blame the cultural differences.

As the English say, the devil hides behind the details. That's why it would be very interesting to see practically these small changes and details that you yourself have made.

There is no antagonism, perhaps I express myself badly in English, I know very well that Eric will take over the ktown, if I insist on the updates, it is because certain are necessary, to compile plasma updates.
