Package KDE6 alpha and beta releases to ease testing for upstream
so @PureTryOut i was looking in the testing on master, and i cant see that we build the stuff that got tagged as Alpha earlier this month, and in a few days they are tagging the first Beta..
the release schedule
8 November 2023: Alpha
KDE Gear 24.01.75 / KDE Plasma 5.80.0 / KDE Frameworks 5.245.0
29 November 2023: Beta 1
KDE Gear 24.01.80 / KDE Plasma 5.90.0 / KDE Frameworks 5.246.0

KDE Gear 24.01.90 / KDE Plasma 5.92.0 / KDE Frameworks 5.248.0
For KDE Gear that want to ship with Qt6 for this release they need to be switched to Qt6 (and obviously stable) *BEFORE* this date.
31 January 2024: Release Candidate 2

28 February 2024: Public Release
KDE Gear 24.02.0 / KDE Plasma 6.0 / KDE Frameworks 6.0
i would think it would be wise to actually start building this stuff for the testing on edge, that way i can setup a test environment and file bugs upstream, that way we might actually get upstream to fix the issues and not patch downstream due to us using musl and not glibc, we got a 3 month window to iron out issue, i think this sounds like a perfect opportunity as long as you and the build infra is able to keep up with the schedule? it sure will be a bit of churn to handle these 5 testing releases including the final public release
