KDM - bluelightning - 2014-02-10
It doesn't seem to be in the commit message - what's the chosen replacement for KDM? I know there has been a lot of talk about LightDM, perhaps that is it...?
Interesting question. Just - me - 2014-02-11
Interesting question. Just putting "Removed KDM" into a commit digest without any further explanation seems weird to me. It's not like KDM is a minor, unimportant part of the system.

... or SDDM.
AFAIK there is no decision yet.

This article is a news flash about the <a href="http://commit-digest.org"> full Commit Digest</a>, which is "a weekly overview of the development activity in KDE." A little poking around reveals <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SDDMinsteadOfKDM">more about KDM and SDDM</a>. Someone may be by later to explain further.

There is not yet a chosen replacement, but any login manager can be used. The currently most promising options are LightDM and SDDM. We've investigated the situation during a recent sprint, and briefly discussed the result on the Plasma mailinglist, you can find the thread <a href="http://osdir.com/ml/plasma-devel/2014-01/msg00205.html">here</a>.
Not having kdm on top of Frameworks 5 is not an immediate problem (of course one can still use KDM from KDE SC 4.x).

OK, thanks for the clarification.
