Hi all,

this is an announcement that KDE SIG has pushed Plasma 5, the next major
version of KDE workspaces, into rawhide as part of the Plasma 5 change for
Fedora 22 [0].

The upgrade path from KDE 4 should be smooth and doable simply through yum update without any need for manual intervention, however if you run into any
troubles related to Plasma/KDE we ask you to report them to KDE SIG.

If you want to know more about Plasma 5.2, you can check out the official release announcement [1]. If you are looking for something more exhausting to read while you are waiting for yum, you can read Kev Vermette's 10 pages of
Plasma 5.2: Quintessential Breakdown [2] ;-).

For Fedora 20 and Fedora 21 users, Plasma 5 is still available through
dvratil/plasma-5 Copr.
Things I've noticed:

* File conflict between kio-extras and kio_mtp:

file /usr/share/locale/ca/LC_MESSAGES/kio_mtp.mo from install of kio-extras-5.2.0-1.fc22.x86_64 conflicts with file from package kio_mtp-0.75-7.20141221gitc418634.fc22.x86_64
[...etc for other locales...]


* krunner has missing dependency on plasma-milou:

$ krunner
"file:///usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.kde.breeze.desktop/contents/runcommand/RunCommand.qml"
 "Error loading QML file.
24: module "org.kde.milou" is not installed

Heads up on a more serious issue: there is still a nasty issue in Qt5 which causes all applications to crash when screens are connected/disconnected. This means that now also plasma will crash in those circumstances. Reported at rhbz [1], and a number of upstream reports exists, the latest one being [2]. That one has a patch in review [3] which however seems pretty stalled, but might be a good starting point. I'm currently building a patched qt with that patch to see whether it helps.
