<pre wrap="" class="moz-quote-pre">As discussed in Plasma meetings and Akademy's, Oliver Beard and I have
been working on incubating SDDM into Plasma whilst also providing a
more coherent Plasma experience.
This has been implemented as two new repositories:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://invent.kde.org/davidedmundson/plasma-login-manager">https://invent.kde.org/davidedmundson/plasma-login-manager</a>) a
continuation of SDDM with full history.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://invent.kde.org/davidedmundson/plasma-login">https://invent.kde.org/davidedmundson/plasma-login</a> for front end and KCM code.
It doesn't have to stay that way. The front end was separate because I
tried using greetd first. Then the backend is separate as it has SDDM
history imported. We can choose to merge them, or put the front end in
plasma-workspace. I'm not sure what we want.</pre>

<p>I'd lean towards merging them in one repo. Neither are useful on
their own, are they?</p>

<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap">Then it probably makes sense to move the repo(s) to the plasma namespace.</span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap">If it at lease somewhat works, maybe it would make sense for KDE Linux (or Neon unstable) to start using it, as an early integration test.

<pre wrap="" class="moz-quote-pre">I've written up a blog post, because social media will pick this up
this thread anyway, and I wanted to explain some previous discussions
without rehashing here:

<p>Concept and rationale seems good.</p>
<p>I'm a bit confused about "I also aim to incubate it into the KDE
ecosystem to have full autonomy over the project and merging stuck
patches.". Do you plan to maintain SDDM in addition to
plasma-loginmanager?</p>
