Hi,
In Plasma 6.4, we relaxed aurorae and breeze dependencies of kwin so
they are not hard build-time dependencies anymore, but rather runtime
dependencies.
We would like to ask distributions to ensure that those both packages
are pre-installed with Plasma, otherwise the users will face a situation
where their Plasma session has no window decorations, and so on. Our
packaging guidelines suggest to pre-install everything in plasma by
default (except some packages) [1], but some Linux distributions apply a
policy where they don't pre-install dependencies marked as runtime or
optional and leave it to the user, this is a case where it's not a good
idea.
Regards,
Vlad
