Poudriere's CCACHE_STATIC_PREFIX feature (not Mk/) avoids installing
ccache for each port using the native jail ABI and instead copies in a
host static binary. It uses NO_CCACHE_DEPEND to avoid installing
ccache. For example, this is used for ccache-memcached where the
dependency chain would make using ccache unfeasible.
Poudriere sets CCACHE_WRAPPER_PATH, rather than the new CCACHE_PKG_PREFIX.
Because CCACHE_BIN is now computed from CCACHE_PKG_PREFIX rather than
CCACHE_WRAPPER_PATH, CCACHE_BIN was incorrect. Now compute
CCACHE_PKG_PREFIX from CCACHE_WRAPPER_PATH if it is set, otherwise
fallback to using LOCALBASE and computing CCACHE_BIN and
CCACHE_WRAPPER_PATH from there.

This uses the same patches that GCC platforms use. It will allow to selectively switch to GCC for some ports that don't build with Clang, eg. because of missing OpenMP support.
Over 120 individual programs plus dozens of programmer libraries and
feature plugins are released simultaneously as part of KDE Gear.
Today they all get new bugfix source releases.

Tuesday, 6 July 2021. Today KDE releases a bugfix update to KDE Plasma
5, versioned 5.22.3.
Plasma 5.22 was released in June 2021 with many feature refinements and
new modules to complete the desktop experience.
This release adds two weeks' worth of new translations and fixes from
KDE's contributors. The bugfixes are typically small but important and
include:
* Dr Konqi: Repair query construction.
* Plasma Disks: Don’t notify on instabilities.
* [Task Manager] Load album art background asynchronously.

QtChooser allows you to select your version of Qt among those installed.
However, this tool is no longer supported upstream and will not be
available for Qt6.
By default, our Qt installations are done in
${LOCALBASE}/lib/qt${QT_VERSION} as recommended.
We have added symbolic linking for the main binaries to
${LOCALBASE}/bin with the suffix -qt5.
There have been multiple bug reports where people get compiler
errors with regards to -Xclang -fno-color-diagnostics. This is
caused by partial upgrades and outdated meson packages. For a
better UX, change BUILD_DEPENDS to require a package version that
fixes it.

Now that GCC 11.1 has been released and lang/gcc11 is in place,
explicitly list version 11 as an option for GCC_DEFAULT.
Technically USE_GCC=11 was already working, using lang/gcc11-devel,
alas intentionally undocumented (and definitely unsupported).
Add an explicit note that versions of GCC not listed here are not
supposed to be used. [1]

The QtPositioning module contains classes to determine a position by
using a variety of possible sources, including satellite, or wifi, or
a text file, and so on. That information can then be used to, for
example, determine a position on a map. In addition satellite
information can be retrieved and area based monitoring can be performed.

Now that GCC 11.1 has been released and lang/gcc11 is in place,
have USE_GCC=11 use that instead of lang/gcc11-devel.
In addition add support for USE_GCC=12 which uses lang/gcc12-devel
(still in early development, not recommended for production use).

Plasma 5.22 is here, and it is more reliable and stable than ever. By
cleaning up and refactoring code in the background, the Plasma desktop
gives you greater responsiveness and performance, helping you become
even more productive without hiccups or surprises. Enjoy a smoother
experience with KDE’s Plasma 5.22 desktop.
Plasma 5.22 has become more pleasurable to use through improvements to
the design and greater smoothness and consistency in transparencies,
blurs, icons, and animations. Moving things to accessible locations,
offering hints and visual cues, and creating new settings allows you to
customize your work environment to make it fit perfectly to your needs.
Following the true KDE spirit, the push for a more stable and attractive
desktop does not mean you have to renounce control over how you want it
to look or behave. Plasma 5.22, as always, packs all the flexibility and
tools for customization you have come to expect and love, and some more
to boot.
Meanwhile, the push to move Plasma in its entirety to Wayland (the
display protocol of the future) continues in full swing. So much so that
popular distros are starting to ship Plasma with Wayland by default. By
using Wayland behind the scenes, Plasma is able to include features and
bug fixes not possible to implement on X11, offering you a better
experience and more stability.
