-KDE5
-====
-
-Here is KDE 5_15.12 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.17.0,
-Plasma 5.5.1 and Applications 15.12.0.
-
-Upgrading from the previous 5_15.11 should be straight-forward.
-KDE-5_15.12 is meant only to be installed on top of Slackware -current and
-it will *replace* any version of KDE 4 you might have installed!
-
-What is the NEWS in this batch of updates:
-- Frameworks 5.17.0 is an enhancement release.
- See https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.17.0.php
-- Plasma 5.5.1 is the first bugfix release of the 5.5 series.
- See https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.5.1.php . Plasma 5.5 ditched
- KDE's own TrueType font "oxygen-icons" in favor of Google's Noto font family.
- Support for legacy Xembed protocol is back and my "xembed-sni-proxy" package
- which I added a few releases earlier, is gone again from my repository
- because its code is now part of Plasma itself.
- Network Manager applet supports WPA Enterprise now.
- A Breeze theme engine for GTK2+ applications was added.
-- Applications 15.12.0 is a step further in maturing the KDE Frameworks 5 (KF5)
- ports of the KDE application collection.
- Highlight is the retirement of good old KSnapshot and the introduction of
- a brand new screenshot tool, Spectacle.
- Apart from KSnapshot, other packages have been removed as well: Amor, KTux
- (both unmaintained), and SuperKaramba (Plasma offers similar functionality).
- Several artwork collections are no longer shipped: kde-base-artwork,
- kde-wallpapers and kdeartwork. Do you need them back? Please tell me.
-
-Further points of interest:
-- kde/kde4-extragear packages should be taken from slackware-current (calligra,
- k3b, kaudiocreator, kplayer, kwebkitpart, oxygen-gtk2, kdevplatform,
- kdevelop-pg-qt, kdevelop, kdev-python, kdevelop-php, kdevelop-php-docs,
- skanlite, kio-mtp, libktorrent, ktorrent, partitionmanager)
-- Lots of packages in the 'deps' department are completely new to Slackware.
- Since KDE 5 is built on Qt5 (KDE 4 had 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, cfitsio, json-glib, libappindicator, libdbusmenu-gtk,
- libdbusmenu-qt5, libindicator, lmdb, noto-font-ttf, noto-cjk-font-ttf,
- polkit-qt5-1, qca-qt5, qt-gstreamer, qt5, sni-qt, wayland and libxkbcommon.
-- A completely new subset of "deps" packages, contained in their own
- "telepathy" subdirectory, needed for KDE Telepathy:
- libotr, libnice, farstream, libaccounts-glib, libaccounts-qt5,
- signon, signon-plugin-oauth2, signon-ui, libsignon-glib,
- telepathy-glib, telepathy-farstream, telepathy-haze, telepathy-gabble,
- telepathy-qt5, telepathy-logger, telepathy-logger-qt5,
- telepathy-mission-control and telepathy-accounts-signon.
-- Telepathy for KDE packages are found in their own subdirectory kde/telepathy .
-
-NOTE:
-Also explained in more detail below, upgrading to this KDE 5 is non-trivial.
-You will have to remove old KDE packages manually. If you do not have KDE
-installed at all, you will have to *install* some of Slackware's own KDE
-packages manually.
-
-NOTE:
-If you decide to install these packages on top of a fresh installation of
- Slackware-current and have excluded all packages in the 'KDE' package series
- during installation, you will be missing several add-on packages, some of
- these are essential to the proper functioning of KDE!
- If you excluded the complete Slackware-current 'KDE' series, then you
- will have to install the following essential Slackware-current packages
- at a a minimum:
- * bluedevil
- * libktorrent
- And optionally install these Slackware-current packages as well:
- * amarok
- * calligra
- * k3b
- * kaudiocreator
- * kplayer
- * kwebkitpart
- * kdevplatform
- * kdevelop-pg-qt
- * kdevelop
- * kdev-python
- * kdevelop-php
- * kdevelop-php-docs
- * kio-mtp
- * ktorrent
- * oxygen-gtk2
- * partitionmanager
- * skanlite
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Building it all from source:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Sources and scripts are separated from the packages in my 'ktown' repository.
-If you want the sources for KDE 5, run the following command to download them:
-
- # rsync -av rsync://alien.slackbook.org/alien/ktown/source/5 .
-
-There are a lot of 'dependencies' for KDE 5 which you'll have to compile and
-install before attempting to compile KDE 5. Compiling and installing these
-dependencies on Slackware-current is as easy as:
- # cd 5/deps
- # ./updates.SlackBuild
- # cd -
-
-Be prepared to wait a *long* time since this will recompile Qt4 and compile a
-new Qt5 package among others. The finished package will be stored in /tmp .
-Then if you want to compile the KDE packages on your computer, run:
- # cd 5/kde
- # ./KDE.SlackBuild
-
-Wait a long time, and you will find the new packages in /tmp/kde-build .
-Note that these packages will already have been installed by KDE.SlackBuild !
-
-But if all you want is the packages I created, then you can skip all of that.
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Install pre-compiled packages:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-In order to install or upgrade KDE 5, follow these steps:
-
-Make sure you are not running KDE or even X ! If you are running an X session,
-log out first, and if you are in runlevel 4 (graphical login) you first have to
-go back to runlevel 3 (console) by typing "init 3".
-
-If you still have a KDE 4 installed, it must be removed first. No clean
-upgrade path can be provided! Do as follows:
-
-If you have Slackware-current's default KDE 4.14.3 installed:
- # removepkg /var/log/packages/*-4.14.3-*
- # removepkg libkscreen
- # removepkg kscreen
- # removepkg kactivities
- # removepkg kde-workspace
- # removepkg libmm-qt
- # removepkg libnm-qt
- # removepkg plasma-nm
- # removepkg polkit-kde-agent-1
- # removepkg polkit-kde-kcmodules-1
- # removepkg kdeconnect-kde
-...or instead of the above, simply '# slackpkg remove kde'.
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_15.11 installed:
-- Upgrade to KDE-5_15.12
- Remove the packages that no longer exist in KDE 5_15.12:
- * removepkg xembed-sni-proxy
- * removepkg ktux
- * removepkg amor
- You may want to reconsider removing these, lots of old artwork in there:
- * removepkg kde-base-artwork
- * removepkg kde-wallpapers
- * removepkg kdeartwork
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_15.10 installed:
-- Upgrade to KDE-5_15.11
- Then re-install original Slackware-current package that was removed
- from "deps" in KDE 5_15.11 (this will be easiest using slackpkg):
- * ConsoleKit2
- * eigen2
- * xapian-core
- Remove the package that no longer exists in KDE 5_15.11:
- * removepkg kdeconnect4
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_15.09_02 installed:
-- No further actions are needed.
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_15.09 installed:
-- Upgrade to KDE-5_15.09_02 and then remove the packages
- that no longer exist in KDE 5_15.09_02:
- * removepkg LoginKit
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_15.07 installed:
-- Upgrade to KDE-5_15.09 and then remove the packages
- that no longer exist in KDE 5_15.09:
- * removepkg ConsoleKit
- * removepkg grantlee-qt5
- * removepkg kgamma
- * removepkg pairs
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_15.06 installed:
-- No further actions are needed.
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_15.05 installed:
-- Re-install the following 'ktown' packages:
- * kactivities-framework
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_15.04 installed:
-- Remove packages that no longer exist in KDE 5_15.05:
- * removepkg qt-gstreamer0
-- Re-install 'ktown' packages:
- * qt-gstreamer
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_15.03 installed:
-- Remove packages that no longer exist in KDE 5_15.04:
- # removepkg gst1-plugins-base
- # removepkg gst1-plugins-good
- # removepkg gstreamer1
- # removepkg qt-gstreamer1
- # removepkg libmm-qt5
-- Re-install original Slackware-current packages that were removed from "deps"
- in KDE 5_15.04 (this will be easiest using slackpkg):
- * LibRaw
- * akonadi
- * attica
- * cmake
- * eigen3
- * exiv2
- * grantlee
- * harfbuzz
- * libfakekey
- * libodfgen
- * librevenge
- * libssh
- * libwpd
- * orc
- * poppler
- * qt
- * shared-desktop-ontologies
- * soprano
- * strigi
-
-Then proceed with installing/upgrading KDE 5 as outlined below.
-
-To make it easy for you, here is a one-line command that downloads the whole
-'5' directory (excluding the sources), with 32-bit and 64-bit packages
-(and be careful of the 'dot' at the end of that command, it is part of the
-commandline !!):
-
- # rsync -av rsync://alien.slackbook.org/alien/ktown/current/5 .
-
-Or else, if you want to download packages for just one of the two supported
-architectures, you would run one of the following commands instead (note that
-there is a dot at the end of these commands!).
-
-If you want only the 64-bit packages:
- # rsync -av --exclude=x86 rsync://alien.slackbook.org/alien/ktown/current/5 .
-If you want only the 32-bit packages:
- # rsync -av --exclude=x86_64 rsync://alien.slackbook.org/alien/ktown/current/5 .
-
-Assuming you just downloaded the bits you want from the directory tree
-"5", you must now change your current directory to where you found this
-README (which is the directory called '5'). If you used one of the
-above "rsync" commands then you can simply do:
-
- # cd 5
-
-From within this directory, you run the following commands as root (note that
-some of the old KDE package names are obsoleted now, they have been split up,
-renamed or integrated and that is the reason for the 'removepkg' lines):
-
- On Slackware 32-bit:
- # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86/deps/*.t?z
- # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86/deps/telepathy/*.t?z
- # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86/kde/*/*.t?z
-
- On Slackware 64-bit:
- # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86_64/deps/*.t?z
- # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86_64/deps/telepathy/*.t?z
- # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86_64/kde/*/*.t?z
-
- If you already have one or more non-english language packs installed:
-
- On Slackware 32-bit:
- # upgradepkg x86/kdei/*.t?z
-
- On Slackware 64-bit:
- # upgradepkg x86_64/kdei/*.t?z
-
- If you want to have a non-english language pack installed but none is
- currently installed, substitute your country code instead of the 'XX'
- in the next command:
- # upgradepkg --install-new x86_64/kdei/kde-l10n-XX-*.t?z
-
- Check if any ".new" configuration files have been left behind by
- the upgradepkg commands. Compare them to their originals and decide
- if you need to use them.
- # find /etc/ -name "*.new"
- A graphical (ncurses) tool for processing these "*.new" files is slackpkg:
- # slackpkg new-config
-
-Then reboot your system.
