Please update build instructions and binaries in official distribution repos
What i did
-
As the binaries in the official ubuntu repo is extremely outdated i tried to build plasma5-wallpapers-dynamic from git as described in the readme. I followed the steps exactly as described. I tried to build on the following distributions: Ubuntu 24.04(plasma 5), Ubuntu 24.10(plasma 6) and KDE Neon(plasma 6). It failed on all three of them.
-
I installed the plasma-wallpaper-dynamic package from ubuntu repos like this
sudo apt install plasma-wallpaper-dynamicbut the plugin didn't show up, most likely cause its outdated (v4)
What i want
- Please test and update the build instructions appropriately for Ubuntu 24.10, Ubuntu 24.04 and Debian in the readme.
- Please update the binaries that get shipped with the default repos of Debian/Ubuntu.
- Bonus step: Build and provide binaries for this tool on gitub. At least keep the build instructions always up to date and as detailed as possible in the github readme.
Thank you :smile:
