Re: Plasma 5.25 released

Saw over on the Q4OS forums that Norbert Preining was able to solve the issues for 5.25.* on Debian Bullseyes, so 5.25.3 is now available via his repos for Bullseye again.

I'm just finishing up restoring the last of my Plasma Debian systems to a more or less straight Bullseye + Backports + Npreining repos to have Plasma 5.25.3. Very involved to go back to a nearly basic Bullseye install, but now I have flip switch & cover switch back on my Debian boxes!!!

He's a very unusual man. He has completely cut off his development of Debian, but because of how many people use his repos for various software (he offers more than JUST KDE), he still is packaging the newer software for Plasma. How many people would actually care about other users enough to do that?
