Hi,
I've been looking into the issue with Nicol=C3=A1s (aka PovAddict) and we
managed to figure out all repositories history except for plasma-workspace
and plasma-desktop. The problem was that not only they were moved now, but
they were moved back in the day from kde-base when kde-workspace was
created. It seems like something possible to solve but it didn't look like
something that would pay off, so I decided to graft those. If somebody has
great problems, I'd suggest to use the occasion and suggest a sane solution
before we all start working on it, otherwise I think that grafts are a good
solution (you can use the time I'm sending this e-mail as a proof we tried
otherwise).
Other than that, the rest of repositories have been pushed with full
history (AFAIK) and it seems to work well. If there's any left-over issue,
there will "always" be the kde-workspace repository for reference.
I just pushed as well changes in the dependency-data-kf5-qt5 file so that
when one tries to compile "plasma-desktop" gets the correct dependencies;
note that you shouldn't be building kde-workspace anymore. It worked on my
system, I hope it will work on most systems.
I hope this doesn't distort your workflow too much and that we can soon
start to take advantage of the new, leaner, organization of the project.
Good night!
Aleix
