siduction release delayed / verspätet

[Lanzi]

Since I broke my main installation beyond repair, I am also waiting. But no hurry, I have a good second installation for now. 
I am also curious on plasma 6.6 

[devil]

Hi!
Is there a possibility for the new release to be issued in March?

The possibility exists, but I can't give you confirmation at this point, as the maintainers of Qt/KDE in Debian are still working on Plasma 6.6.

I am rather a noob but had the latest version of siduction running for a while, now I broke it due to some dumb action. Anyway - trying to restart from scratch and using the latest iso and immediately after setup running all the update&upgrade commands, some things that worked before seem to be broken. Won´t go into details at this moment because that would be topic for another thread.

Still - I have to apologize because it might have been answered multiple times before, but can someone explain, how siduction really is different from setting up the latest stable debian and then switching "mirrors" to sid ?
I only read that there is "a lot of background" work that is done by the siduction team (thanks for that!) , but as a beginner: which kind of background work can I think of? Can this be explained in some not too technical sentences that still allow to grasp the concept?

Or in other words: what do i miss (compared to siduction) If I install a minimal debian and then switching "mirrors" to sid?

Thanks!

For starters:
You won't be able to run virtualbox on the latest kernel.

If you really need a newer one, you can TRY this, might be slow  (MODS - remove if you need, no problems)

That's very cool -- thanks for doing that, @piper!   

[piper]

No problem, it's 5 days old, been busy

nice to see you

[Lanzi]

unfortunatly my system is broken for 2 months, and I really would like to do a fresh install. Waiting for the new siduction is not realy a problem, but do we have any information, when Plasma 6.6 will hit Debian? Will it at all? Plasma 6.7 will come in june, so maybe debian maintainer are waiting for this release?

[alexsid]

Sid uses Plasma 6.6.3 now. The same is true for Siduction.

[devil]

It started dripping in this morning but is far from complete. Once it is fully in, we will test for a week or so and then start thinking about implementing the features we want to ship.

[Lanzi]

thats really goos news!
@Devil: take your time
