bibisect-linux-64-6.4 is available with KDE5 support!
The LibreOffice Quality Assurance ( QA ) Team is happy to announce the bisect repository from libreoffice-6-3-branch-point to latest master is available for cloning from Gerrit. As a novelty, this repository adds support for KDE5 environment.
What is a bisect repository ?
it’s a git repository populated with hundreds of builds of LibreOffice. Added to the repository in chronological order, each build represents each commit in the LibreOffice core repository, allowing the QA Team to easily identify at which point a regression was introduced. Watch Effective Bisection and Bibisection (Matthew Francis’s talk at LibOCon 2015 on YouTube) for both an introduction, and practical details.

I am not entirely sure what this means, though.
Could someone explain the above answer? E. g. if you already use Linux and run KDE5 plasma right now, what does the above actually mean? How is that different from the default downloads e. g. in .deb format, from the libreoffice homepage?
Hi mark,
Bibisect repositories are used for finding regressions. In the past KDE5 wasn’t support but it’s now. it mean if we find a regression in KDE5 we will be able to identify at which point it was introduced. This is not related to the default downloads.
Cheers
