Plasma Active [DONE]

[zeebra]

Is there any way Mageia as one of or the main KDE distro could package and include Plasma Active?

It could be a good collaboration and benefit both parts. Plasma active could be a good alternative for netbooks. I know KDE will change their setup to a scalable one for KDE 5, but I find Plasma Active to be very interesting. If I could, I would help myself, but I don't think I can.

Any ideas? Would this be useful? Should it be done, could it be done?

SuSE packages Plasma Active I have read.


Edit: - Filed in bug reports

Again, this is the wrong place to ask for it to be included in the distribution. Please report that as an enhancement request, after searching if it hasn't been reported yet already: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_report_a_bug_properly

FWIW, how is this different to Plasma Netbook http://www.kde.org/workspaces/plasmanetbook/ ?
You may want to check viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5296 about this.

Plasma active is a seperate KDE project, different from Plasma netbook. Plasma Active is mainly targetted towards Mobile and Tablets, an area where traditional Linux distributions do not stand strong.
For myself personally I think the Plasma Active interface looks far more interesting than Plasma Netbooks and would be useful for the netbook as well, and provide a useful addition for Mageia. Since Mageia is perhaps the main KDE distribution around I think KDE could also benefit from Mageia having Plasma Active.

Will ofcourse file it, but it is interesting to see for opinions about the topic as well.
