Findings from test compile of KDE

Morning,

Last night I had a go at testing some plasma packages on my system, so I 
thought I might email with some findings. I tested KF6 6.29.0 with gear 26.04.3 
and plasma 6.7.4.

Four new packages are required: corrosion-rs is now a dependency of kdeplasma-
addons, tesseract is now a dependency of spectacle (and it itself depends on a 
package called leptonica), finally kmime is now part of kde frameworks.

Oxygen-icons have also been brought into frameworks as well. When I wrote my 
install list for kf6, I commented it out during the bulk install just like 
breeze-icons. 

Corrosion-rs probably makes rust an indirect dependency of plasma.

It seems phonon dependency has been reduced. It's likely that the only in-book 
package that still depends on it is Okular, however I still have phonon stuff 
installed and could not fully verify this.

My system has opencv-5 installed, and it seems that kquickimageeditor-0.6.2.1, 
spectacle, and kdenlive built fine with opencv-5 libraries and headers on the 
system. Frei0r and MLT still require patches for now. I know that KDE is 
aiming to reduce dependency on opencv, so that's probably what I'm seeing. 
Worth double-checking this, as I have deviated from the book here.

Tesseract is a pain. It takes a while to compile, and seems to require some 
runtime launguage pack stuff to function. I haven't bothered to deal with that 
yet, since I don't currently have a need for OCR software. But the base 
package alone is enough for spectacle not to complain during compile.

Only interesting warning while compiling KDE stuff is the following, but it is 
not fatal, and I think is an old warning we've seen before. 

CMake Warning at /usr/share/ECM/kde-modules/KDEInstallDirsCommon.cmake:169 
(message):
  KDE_INSTALL_LIBEXECDIR got its value from CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBEXECDIR.  In
  most cases this is unintended, check if you included GNUInstallDirs before
  KDEInstallDirs.  Some third party modules include GNUInstallDirs too so eg.
  find_package(Qt6 ...) is equivalent to include(GNUInstallDirs).  If you set
  CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBEXECDIR deliberately before including KDEInstallDirs its
  recommended to use KDE_INSTALL_LIBEXECDIR instead to suppress this message.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/share/ECM/kde-modules/KDEInstallDirsCommon.cmake:270 (_define_relative)
  /usr/share/ECM/kde-modules/KDEInstallDirs6.cmake:203 (include)

That's it about it. Things seem to be working fine on my end. Nothing broke. 
Nothing seems to have installed in the wrong place, no lib64 directories 
sprung up, nothing ended up in /usr, so seems fine. All good.

Cheers,
Sicarine
