Description "FeRD" (Frank Dana) 2024-07-11 11:14:01 UTC
KDDockWidgets-2.0 brings multiple improvements to the package, including  the ability to build QtQuick controls into the package alongside (rather than instead of) the QtWidgets, a feature MuseScore has been asking for. (See bug 2227098.)

2.0.0 was finally released in December 2023, and was followed up in May by 2.1.0 which brought multiple bugfixes to the 2.0.0 codebase.

The release notes claim that, "2.0 isn't very interesting for users, but will allow developers to make KDDW support other GUI frameworks more easily. Also QtQuick is now better integrated, without being shoehorned with ifdefs into the QtWidgets implementation."

Despite that, both 2.0.0 and 2.1.0 are technically breaking changes from the 1.7.0 codebase. (2.1.0 is reported not to contain any breaking changes from 2.0.0, so it's a no-brainer for KDDockWidgets 2.0.0 users.)

So, it may make sense to publish a kddockwidgets2 package separate from kddockwidgets, to give downstream users time to migrate their code to 2.0.

While it makes the most sense for the kddockwidgets Fedora maintainers to also maintain a kddockwidgets2 package, if there's no interest in doing so (and if the main kddockwidgets package won't be upgrading to 2.1.0 in the near term), I'd be willing to work on packaging and maintaining kddockwidgets2. I'm happy to pitch in either way, hence this attempt at coordination.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 42 development cycle.
Changing version to 42.

Comment 2 Steve Cossette 2025-11-29 15:51:57 UTC
Just an update to this bug.

I have just been added as a co-maintainer for this package, and I will look into doing this, now that I am working on updating this package to 2.4.0 (Latest to this date).

Do give me some time though XD I also gotta wait for the fesco ticket for the soname bump.

Comment 3 Fedora Release Engineering 2026-05-06 11:44:54 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 42 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 42 on 2026-05-13.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '42'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 42 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 4 Aoife Moloney 2026-06-08 15:52:25 UTC
Fedora Linux 42 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2026-05-27.

Fedora Linux 42 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
