KDE Plasma 5.23.5, Bugfix Release for January
Tuesday, 4 January 2022. Today KDE releases a bugfix update to KDE
Plasma 5, versioned 5.23.5.
Plasma 5.23 was released in October 2021 with many feature refinements
and new modules to complete the desktop experience.
This release adds a month's worth of new translations and fixes from
KDE's contributors. The bugfixes are typically small but important and
include:
* Save bluetooth status on teardown.
* System Monitor: Handle process parent changes in ProcessDataModel.
* Fix Klipper Actions content truncation.

What's this?
This is a set of git repositories based on the last public
commits available for Qt 5.15 branches with a curated collection
of patches on top to ensure open source products can be used
comfortably until users transition to their Qt 6-based ports.
Which patches does it include?
This collection of patches includes patches that fix at least
one of the following:
* Security issues
* Crashes
* Functional defects
We only include patches that have been approved upstream in the
Qt project. If a patch cannot be merged upstream for technical
reasons (e.g. the class no longer exists), it can also be
merged.
The patches to merge will be decided based on their relevance
towards Open Source products and their viability.

Quick3d is at the moment not compatible with assimp-5.1.0. In poudriere,
due to assimp not being available, the port was already built with the
bundled assimp version.
For builds in a non-clean-room environment, explitely specify, that we
want the bundled one too.

Since Qt5 testlib tries to be a build-dependency only when
needed, and since we build the QML bits without installing
the corresponding test-tools, declarative had the following
problem:
- without testlib installed, would build fine
- with testlib installed, would assume the QML test bits
are available, and then fail in the build.
This is basically our split-up-packaging without subpackages
shooting us in the foot; fix the build by removing one more
place where testlib leads to the building-of-tests. (The existing
patch files/patch-src_src.pro does something similar)

In da36e63724 a dependency on qt5-declarative was made
available in kf5-kconfig. This leads to the generation of
further desktop files in some of the plasma ports.
