This branch contains my work for bringing the KDE Plasma dekstop to Guix.
Hartmut Goebel, Juni 2019 & January 2021
Note 1: It might be worth making an older version of Plasma work, as this an
older version has less dependencies. This is why this branch still
sticks at 5.19.5.
Note 2: https://invent.kde.org/plasma lists about 60 packages, many of which
are applications. I expect most of these
applications to be not required to start the Plasma Desktop.
See 10-TODO-plasma.txt for more information.
About the other Readme-files
===============================
* 10-TODO-….txt contain the status of my efforts (which might be outdated) and
a lot of snippets useful for building packages and making tests pass.
Please at least skim through these files as they contain lots hof hints and
some gems :-)
The most central of this is the "Status Unit-tests" in
10-TODO-plasma.txt. This documents the status of building the packages
required for plasma. I'm encouraging you to use this list to avoid getting
lost :-)
Proposed approach
==========================
1. Make the packages listed in "Status Unit-tests" in
10-TODO-plasma.txt. build and (most) tests pass. This list hopefully
contains all package required for a minimal Plasma desktop service.
I suggest using the plasma versions currently package on this branch to
avoid introducing more issues.
2. Build a system (see gnu/system/examples/plasma.tmpl and
gnu/services/desktop.scm) which starts runs a small (or even minimal)
Plasma desktop.
3. Define two (maybe more) desktop-services:
- plasma-minimal
- plasma
(- plasma-all-bells-and-wistels)
Notes about my Commit messages
====================================
I'm using pre- and postfixes in my commit messages:
- TEMP: This is an intermediate commit to preserve some state. This might be
dropped, merged, fixed, etc. later.
- REWORD: Message needs rewording (e.g. is not written well or unfinished)
- FIXUP: This is a fixup for another commit, which should be `fixup`d using
`git rebase -i` soon.
- SQUASH: same, but to be `sqash`ed.
- WIP: work in progress, commited to preserve acceptable state
- TODO: This is unfinished work
