How to update to v35?

[digitalethics]

I'm still on v33. How do I update it to v35? I don't have Discover installed and I don't like to use the terminal either. How do I do it? I think the update process is broken (probably for all Plasma widgets).

Assuming "Get Hot New Stuff" isn't working.

kpackagetool5 --type=Plasma/Applet --upgrade ~/Downloads/tiledmenu-v35-plasma5.12.plasmoid

Or

kpackagetool5 --type=Plasma/Applet --remove com.github.zren.tiledmenu
kpackagetool5 --type=Plasma/Applet --install ~/Downloads/tiledmenu-v35-plasma5.12.plasmoid

This is still not working for me and I've raised this upstream at bug 423656. It seems to me that developers are updating manually and many users update via Discover. All those that update widgets via the widget update mechanism are left without any option to update.

kdeplasma-addons is a package containing the "extra" widgets like the "weather" widget.

Not a Discover bug as you don't use it. It's a "Get New Stuff" bug. Searching for "get new stuff update" found:

• https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=get%20new%20stuff%20update&list_id=1762856
• https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=417510

So it's probably filed under frameworks-knewstuff.

Hmmm. I updated v37 in a slightly different manner this time. Instead of clicking "Update", I clicked "Add File", then deleted the old file.
