25 years ago today, Matthias Ettrich sent an email to the
de.comp.os.linux.misc newsgroup explaining a project he was working
on. The latest and direct result of that email (plus a quarter of a
century of relentless experimentation, development and innovation)
has just landed in KDE’s repositories.
This time around, Plasma renews its looks and, not only do you get a
new wallpaper, but also a gust of fresh air from an updated theme:
Breeze - Blue Ocean. The new Breeze theme makes KDE apps and tools
not only more attractive, but also easier to use both on the desktop
and your phone and tablet.
Of course, looks are not the only you can expect from Plasma 25AE:
extra speed, increased reliability and new features have also found
their way into the app launcher, the software manager, the Wayland
implementation, and most other Plasma tools and utilities.
Read on to find out all the details that make the new Plasma 25AE so
deserving of a celebration [1]

The original distfiles are getting hard to come by for some reason, so
switch to pulling source tarballs directly from GitHub. Replace
patches that apply to generated files with patches that apply to their
sources.

- don't unconditionally enable SSE, it's enable conditionally for amd64 in the main meson.build anyway:
cc: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-msse' [-Wunused-command-line-argument]
cc: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-msse2' [-Wunused-command-line-argument]
error: unknown FP unit 'sse'
- disable LTO on powerpc64 since it's broken in LLVM.
While here, make sure gtk-update-icon-cache is only on run dependency
where added as a dependency
Enforce gtk3 to depend on gtk-update-icon-cache (previously it was
inheriting the dependency)

The mixer utility is used to set and display soundcard mixer device
levels. It is a copy of the mixer(8) command from FreeBSD 13.0 from
before the utility was completely redesigned for FreeBSD 14.0.

Builds fine on armv6 at least with LLD 12.0.1. Since FreeBSD >= 12.0
armv6 is deprecated in favor of armv7, anyway.
