Rawhide + KDE Plasma/Gear/Builder Stack Git!

 

There used to be a "Kinoite-nightly" image at https://gitlab.com/fedora/ostree/ci-test/-/pipelines that combined Kinoite Rawhide and KDE Git versions of Plasma and Gear based on COPR repos maintained by solopasha.  However those COPR repos had not been updated in months and so the "nightly" version stopped being produced.

Recently KDE developer silverhadch produced a nightly build of KDE Git versions of Plasma, Gear and a full developer stack based on Universal Blue's base image (no small amount of work to make that happen!).  Recently he has migrated the base to the same base I'm using (quay.io/fedora-ostree-desktops/base-atomic:rawhide).  His repo can be found at: https://github.com/silverhadch/fedora-plasma-canary

I like using a Rawhide base (bleeding edge + bleeding edge!) and the "stock" Fedora base without the choices made by Universal Blue (i.e., Bazaar vs. Discover). I forked silverhadch's repo and layered on some additional packages that are useful to me at https://github.com/whelanh/fedora-kde-git.    It is set to run nightly.

To "install" either silverhadch's or my versions, you will need to install a Universal Blue or Fedora atomic version first.  Then follow the instructions to re-base to the nightly versions above.

If you rebase to these images but miss the "ujust" recipes provided on the Universal Blue base, I've created a repo with set-up instructions on how to emulate Universal Blue's just file recipe set up at https://github.com/whelanh/justfile-recipes
