yes, true.

Yes, that was a fairly easy one, since I had experienced that already on the KF5
version on kstars on the OSX/CI system.

That’s a sensible approach. I think this iteration here on my completely virgin virtual
machine was a good start, but I can imagine that the bots will still be able to spot
something else.

Great. Just wanted to verify.
Up to now I have updated Portfiles and patches for three RRs:
---
$ git log -9 --oneline
8f8d720 reinsert marble, also add step
3e00bf3 fix marble's destroot
f105406 fix poxml
40d221e kdepim4: update of René's ktimetracker patch (RR 119533)
645d6f6 kdelibs4: another update of René's authBackends patch (RR 120202)
012de18 kdelibs4: update René's authBackends patch (RR 120202)
a25a7a3 kate: include RR 120319
---
but I am afraid there might still be some updates possible...

OK, good.
