Hi Martin,

Of course I can prepare a script that would automatically copy it from another repo (plasma-workspace) and patch it but it seems a bit hacky. I also don't know how would I integrate it in cmake including making it work in KDE CI. Should I try to do that? Also there is (I believe) no way to use a private plugin of a different widget.

I've now moderated the mailing list queue, and it seems there were a
few messages stuck in there waiting for approval.
This is fairly normal for kde-core-devel, which is a moderated list.

In terms of enabling CI, please file a Sysadmin ticket and we can
arrange this fairly easily.

Cheers,
Ben
