We intended to roll gcc-4.9.3 (or 4.8) as intermediate step, to avoid
also having the whole C++11 ABI break, too. And yes, we should get on
with this. Once a branch is created, I could fire up a script on some
beefy machine to cast as much as possible … but in the end … we only
ensured mostly basesystem upgrade in the past. So testing that and you
ensuring that one has _some_ KDE after the upgrade should be what is
needed. Remember the list of upgrade-tested spells in the old wiki?

So … since KDE5 does not exist in stable yet, there is no upgrade
problem, is there? I'd be fine with deprecating KDE4 instead of trying
to upgrade to a newer one. We do not have anyone working on KDE4.
Important stuff outside the core DE like okular, kdenlive, and
kolourpaint do use KDE5 in test, as I see.

Does upgrading spells and replacing KDE4 with KDE5 in the process not
work? What kind of issues do you see?


Alrighty then,

Thomas
