panel thickness before update
Fixed in 5.103 to work around buggy behavior caused by distro. What's the commit in frameworks that fixed it? Neon users will have to run /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/kconf_update_bin/plasmashell-5.27-use-panel-thickness-in-default-group if they already updated to 5.27. Thanks. Given that most users won't because they don't know about this and can't be expected to run terminal commands to fix regressions, what's our path forward for an automatic fix? Is the answer "Upgrade to Frameworks 5.103"? Or is the answer, "Upgrade to frameworks 5.103 and then manually run /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/kconf_update_bin/plasmashell-5.27-use-panel-thickness-in-default-group"? Upgrade to 5.103, and then upgrade to 5.27, so kded will run the update bin automatically. Unfortunately we can't sure that the updates will be delivered in that order. But I guess since technically 5.103 was released before 5.27, we can blame distros if it doesn't work out that way. Can you email distributions@kde.org asking them to ship 5.103 before 5.27, if they haven't done these releases yet? Still not perfect, but I 🍒🤏 https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2622 to 5.27.1, but the old thickness still cannot be migrated unless 5.103 is shipped. Thanks for your work on this, Fushan! |
