I'm only adding the 'stable' patches that you posted in this thread.

A first batch has been pushed to 'master'; the remainder will go to
'staging' after a little more review, because they cause a lot of
rebuilds.  :-)

You can find them in 060e65ebda26be9c28c3..4f7f4e82e1f63f49216ee.

Note: I ended up rewriting the 'appstream' patch to use the latest
version, enable tests, etc; and took "ownership" on it (but added you
and Brendan as co-authors).

Right, the latest package additions need a little more work.  I'll focus
mainly on the KDE updates.

I don't really have an opinion.  It's good if you can rebase the
kde-updates branch on top of staging once I've pushed the remaining
patches and submit a new issue for the KDE desktop.

I think a separate kde-desktop example would be good, but no strong
opinion.  Perhaps it's enough to document it in the manual, plus have a
working option in the installer.

I'm keeping the wayland-protocols update separate for now, we'll update
it properly on 'core-updates' (to be started "soon").

Sounds good!

I'll update this thread once the remaining patches have been reviewed
and pushed.

Thanks again!  :-)
