What's new in v2.2.18
CMake bootstrap phase
KDE Frameworks 6.27.0 requires CMake 3.29+. Ubuntu 24.04 ships 3.28.3.
A new cmake-bootstrap phase downloads the official Kitware CMake 3.31.6
binary and installs it to /usr/local/bin before the KDE phase runs.
Full GPU driver support (v2.2.17)
Mesa now builds with:
- Gallium:
radeonsi(AMD),nouveau(NVIDIA),iris/crocus(Intel),swrast - Vulkan:
amd(RADV),intel(ANV) - nouveau Vulkan (NVK) excluded — requires rustc not present in the build env; NVIDIA Vulkan users install proprietary drivers
Flatpak + fwupd backends (v2.2.15)
Plasma Discover ships with -DWITH_FLATPAK=ON -DWITH_FWUPD=ON -DWITH_PACKAGEKIT=ON
Phase stamp caching
Completed phases are stamped in /mnt/spk-compile-sources/.stamps — persistent across reboots, allowing interrupted builds to resume from where they left off.
Oopsie count: 13
All oopsies are preserved in git history as sovereign engineering transparency.
