KDE Plasma 6.4 has landed in OpenBSD

Contributed by Peter N. M. Hansteen on 2025-07-04 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. https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.4.0/ This update also includes Bugfix Release for June and July. Thanks yaydn for feedback and testing and kn@ for review
