KDE/Plasma for Debian – Update 2022/8

Wednesday, 24 August 2022 | Norbert Preining

Monthly update on KDE/Plasma on Debian: Updates to Frameworks and KDE Gears

I have packaged KDE Gears 22.08 as well as the latest frameworks, and Plasma got a point release. The status is as follows (all for Debian/stable, testing, unstable:

  • Frameworks: 5.97
  • Gears: 22.08.0
  • Plasma 5.25: 5.25.4
  • Plasma 5.24 LTS: 5.24.6

I repeat (and update) instructions for all here, updated to use deb822 format (thanks to various comments on the blog here):

  • Get the key via
    curl -fsSL https://www.preining.info/obs-npreining.asc | sudo tee /usr/local/share/keyrings/obs-npreining.asc
    
  • Add the sources definition in /etc/apt/sources.lists.d/obs-npreining-kde.sources, replacing the DISTRIBUTION part with one of Debian_11 (for Bullseye), Debian_Testing, or Debian_Unstable:
    # deb822 source:
    # https://www.preining.info/blog/tag/kde/
    Types: deb
    URIs:

Warnings/Todos:
