Built Plasma 6.6.6, KDE Frameworks 6.24.0, KDE Gear 25.12.3, QT 6.10.2
With the announcement of the Plasma LTS for 6.6 on Kubunutu I thought I would have a play around with getting it packaged for Debian 13. There were a couple of caveats in that I had to build against QT 6.10 for 6.6.6 which also meant rebuilding some other packages that depend on QT Base. Also needed backports for newer wayland protocols, mesa and pipewire. Been an interesting little project. This is just in a VM so far and I'm deploying the debs with a local apt repo.
May see if I can get a little CI/CD pipeline going for myself when the TechPaladin team start publishing their LTS branches.
