kwin-lowlatency wants to downgrade other packages about fedora-copr-kde5 HOT 5 CLOSED

You right, I'll update instructions.
Thanks for the feedback!

Hello!

I've got this bug too :)
Steps to get around the bug:

1. dnf install --allowerasing kwin-lowlatency
2. dnf update --refresh

After 2 step dnf will update all plasma packages to the latest in my repo (that was downgraded at step 1).
Further updates of kwin-lowlatency will occur without problems (already checked it).

Don't know why dnf doing that, maybe some sort of bug in dnf 🤔

I'll update docs in the copr.

Yes that solved the issue to me also. What DNF did was to downgrade packages to install kwin-lowlatency and then with command 2 it re-updated them 🤷‍♂

Thank you for maintaining this. I wasn't expected such a difference with kwin-lowlatency. Truly awesome. Hope it get to the upstream soon 🤞

The docs in copr are not totally correct. Where you updated:

1. sudo dnf install --allowerasing kwin-lowlatency
2. dnf update --refresh - on this step dnf will upgrade all packages that was downgraded on step 1 (dnf bug?)
3. kwin_x11 --replace &

Should be read:

1. dnf update --refresh
1. sudo dnf install --allowerasing kwin-lowlatency  - on this step dnf will upgrade all packages that was downgraded on step 1 (dnf bug?)
2. dnf update --refresh 
3. kwin_x11 --replace &

If you do sudo dnf install --allowerasing kwin-lowlatency before the update it will install kwin-lowlatency-5.16.x instead of kwin-lowlatency-5.15.x. Because fedora 30 is currently on 5.15 it will break plasma and the user cannot re-login into the session!

The user should update all plasmadesktop to 5.16.x first, then replace kwin and then re-update downgraded plasma packages. Preferably in one shot, like this:

1. dnf update --refresh
1. sudo dnf install --allowerasing kwin-lowlatency  && dnf update --refresh -y
3. kwin_x11 --replace &
