qt515: Update KDE Qt 5.15 patches#156376
Conversation
Some odd failures here which seem not to happen if I build without nixpkgs-review, I tried with I don't know how to refer to the version change here in a changelog or whatever since there isn't a version number to go along with these. |
|
Have been running these with plasma 5.23 and not noticed any problems. |
|
Changed this to target staging due to big rebuild, hope that was correct. |

Hi! I'm an experimental bot. My goal is to guide this PR through its stages, hopefully ending with a merge. You can read up on the usage here. |

One more fix landed in qtwayland for a bug which causes the plasma panel to stop updating. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449163 |

Thanks! I'm not very well qualified to review this. Maybe one of the maintainers could have a look? I have requested reviews from the qt and plasma maintainers. |

I've not reviewed the changes, but I can say that they work! I've tested this on my Ryzen laptop, and my Nvidia-powered Desktop machine. Without these patches, Plasma would only start... less than 10% of the time with my 4K TV and ultrawide-1440p monitor attached. With these patches, Plasma boots up nice and smoothly. (Still some artifacting going on that I think is just nvidia/gbm stuffs.) |

Thanks! |
Motivation for this change
I'm most interested in this change https://invent.kde.org/qt/qt/qtwayland/-/commit/4644d51f4b52e83fc1b4d02b380d80d9d57e76fa which makes performance on nvidia wayland usable, but there are many other changes.
We're expected to keep these up to date as we update plasma5, but that was updated a few weeks ago and our patches are from October.
