freebsd-ports VS sddm

Agreed.

I don't think the PR reviewer is calling the author in the example, and provided useful info, pointing out the relevant example.

Also, the author notes:

> The very first comment in the thread from a reviewer was simply only one word: “Why?” - That’s it, just one word. Why did I do this? Why work with such old hardware? Why is the sky blue? How the hell am I to know the context of what they’re referring to when asking a one-worded question?

Its clear from https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/pull/189#discussion... that the author is asking why is this line needed, something a PR author should always be able to justify.

From https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/blob/main/UPDATING:

KDE: Update KDE Plasma Desktop to 5.26 · freebsd/freebsd-ports@d06d26f | https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=d06d26f8c45e468021b1ec1def42fb1ce600a3dc

Say you really want to pin to Apache 2.5.54. Create a new empty repo, add a www/apache24 dir, and copy the files from that version of the ports tree into it.

They have not been stable

As for announcements: how would this information be delivered to you? :) Major breakages that impact users are expected to tracked in Ports (not pkgs) through review of /usr/ports/CHANGES and /usr/ports/UPDATING. If a port gets renamed (moved), you'll find it mentioned there, or possibly in /usr/ports/MOVED (not human-readable). You can view those on the GitHub mirror if you wish, since not everyone builds from Ports: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports

at https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/tree/main/chinese/chinese-calendar (for the port to FreeBSD) the files and Makefile are not too complex.

Well, it seems it is still considered experimental https://github.com/sddm/sddm/pull/1737

There are dozens of threads everywhere about it since around early 2021. KDE will take over the SDDM project and that bug fix may soon finally be up-streamed.

LMAO the login issue was this https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/1592

Wayland autologin does not work with sddm (if you're using such a configuration) https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/1676

Thanks everyone for your time - installing xorg-minimal solved the issue; next version should solve the issue topic discussed in sddm github. I leave the following here just in case someone with skill & time comes across - seems a bit of love would not hurt sddm: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/1471

Relevant to your keyboard configuration issue: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/703

Also fixed in -git

No, the picture shows that the login manager is still sddm, but somehow the login theme used by sddm has been reverted to the sddm default of the 'maui' instead of the 'breeze' theme used by default in Kubuntu. The package shipping the breeze theme (sddm-theme-breeze) may have become uninstalled, or sddm config changed somehow to not use breeze.
