KDE Plasma 6.4 has landed in OpenBSD

Contributed by Peter N. M. Hansteen on from the konsidered plasmatik dept.

Yes, you read that right: KDE 6.4.0 Plasma is now in OpenBSD packages.

This was made possible by the efforts of Rafael Sadowski (rsadowski@) with the help of several others. The news was announced 2025-07-04 via a fediverse post and of course the commit message itself, where the description reads

Log message:
Update Plasma 6.4

The most parts are straightforward as usual but in 6.4 the KDE
Kwin team split kwin into kwin-x11 and kwin (wayland). This seems
to be the sign that X11 is no longer of interest and we are
focussing on Wayland.
As we currently only support X11, kwin-x11 has been added as a runtime
dependency to kwin. So nobody should have to install anything later.

This ports update also includes Aurorae; a theme engine for KWin window
decorations.

This update also includes Bugfix Release for June and July.

Thanks yaydn for feedback and testing and kn@ for review

You can also read the message in full while you wait for the updated packages for OpenBSD-current to turn up on your favorite mirror.
