KDE Plasma Wayland on FreeBSD
When I wrote about Wayland on FreeBSD I did not expect it to trigger “remove Wayland” kinds of comments in FreeBSD ports.

CMake Bitrot
CMake is a (meta-)buildsystem that handles finding-dependencies and building-things. It’s been around for many years, and has been in use by the KDE community for 14 years. In that time, CMake itself has changed quite a bit: there’s “legacy CMake”, version 2.8, and “modern CMake” which is roughly everything after version 3.0. But even within the 3.0 series there is a slow shift in language and tooling. This means that for released software, the CMake buildsystem “bitrots”, to some extent. I’ll give some examples revealed by the CMake 3.20 release.

The official song of this sprint is 2unlimited “Get Ready for This, but we made a playlist (see below).
