Since KDE 5 aka Plasma 5 is built on Qt5 (KDE 4 uses Qt4 as its base) you'll find many Qt5 related packages. Also, in order for Qt4 and GTK based applications to dock into the Plasma 5 system tray, more dependencies were needed. So, apart from updates to regular Slackware packages and the new telepathy support packages (see below), these are the new ones: - OpenAL, PyQT5, accountsservice, cfitsio, cracklib, dvdauthor, frei0r-plugins, - grantlee-qt4, hack-font-ttf, json-glib, lensfun, libappindicator, libburn, - libdbusmenu-gtk, libdbusmenu-qt5, libdmtx, libindicator, libinput, - libpwquality, libwacom, libxkbcommon, lmdb, mlt, ninja, noto-font-ttf, - noto-cjk-font-ttf, opencv, polkit-qt5-1, qca-qt5, qrencode, qt-gstreamer, - qt5, qt5-webkit, qtav, sni-qt, vid.stab and wayland. + OpenAL, PyQT5, accountsservice, cfitsio, cracklib, ddcutil, dvdauthor, + frei0r-plugins, grantlee-qt4, hack-font-ttf, id3lib, json-glib, lensfun, + libappindicator, libburn, libdbusmenu-gtk, libdbusmenu-qt5, libdmtx, + libindicator, libinput, libpwquality, libwacom, libxkbcommon, lmdb, mlt, + ninja, noto-font-ttf, noto-cjk-font-ttf, opencv, polkit-qt5-1, qca-qt5, + qrencode, qt-gstreamer, qt5, qt5-webkit, qtav, sni-qt, vid.stab + and wayland.
