KF6 meeting notes 2022-05-24

[Volker Krause]

Agenda: https://invent.kde.org/teams/frameworks-devs/kf6-workboard/-/issues/6

Deprecation level bump to 5.94:
- Use ecm_set_disabled_deprecation_versions() when fixing deprecation issues 
to prevent regressions before we bump the overall level on the CI, use the 
latest released version for this (which can be higher than the current overall 
deprecation level for 6)
- two remaining MRs waiting for review, then we can bump this globally
    
Akademy CfP:
- ideally we have "how to port to Qt6?" talk (or workshop?) and/or "kf6 
progress/plans" talk
- Alex/Nico look into doing a "how to port to KF6"
- Volker will submit a "KF6 progress and plans" talk
    
External Qt-using dependencies:
- create tracker task for those and qualify based on Qt6 support/co-
installability/release/CI availabilty -> https://phabricator.kde.org/T15543
- try to identify all of those dependencies, see also ci-images/ci-suse-qt62/
Dockerfile
- not limited to Frameworks, look at everything
    
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/knewstuff/-/merge_requests/178
- Alex to review

Powerdevil KServiceTypeTrader usage:
- full QML port is likely too far away (and depends on the KConfigXT port)
-> do the plugin porting now

.desktop -> JSON migration:
- do we still need desktop to JSON conversion going forward, or can we drop 
the entire infrastructure for that? -> yes
- if we do, a JSON -> desktop function would solve that and avoid duplicated 
translations
- that conversion function can start in Plasma Workspace and move to KF once 
stable

KRecentDirs:
- can move from KIOWidgets to KIOCore
- the global setting seems unused and can be deprecated
- there is direct usage in the file dialog, so defunct code in plasma-
integration might not mean KRecentDirs unused entirely

https://invent.kde.org/plasma/systemsettings/-/merge_requests/138#note_455377
- can we make assumptions about Plasma and release service version 
combinations?
- this change would mean bleeding edge non-Plasma KCMs for systemsettings < 
5.23 would not load anymore, which seems like a rare scenario
- double-check on the mailing list to see if somebody objects
