-====
-
-Here is KDE 5_17.01 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.30.0,
-Plasma 5.8.5 and Applications 16.12.1 on top of Qt 5.7.1.
-
-Upgrading from the previous 5_16.12 needs a bit of tender care & loving this
-time.  In particular, the new quarterly release of the Applications brings
-a lot of change. Many packages have been added, but also many packages are
-no longer part of the 'ktown' repository.  Read the instructions well!
-
-KDE-5_17.01 is meant to be installed on top of Slackware 14.2 or -current.
-It will *replace* any version of KDE 4 you might have installed!
-
-Note that I am currently undecided whether I should keep on supporting
-Slackware 14.2 in my 'ktown' builds.  The 'ktown' repository's primary goal
-has always been to do the research and development into bleeding edge
-KDE software, so that integrating it into Slackware's core can be done with
-the knowledge that these KDE releases have been given a good QA testing
-by the community.  Which means, slackware-current is the only relevant release.
-Providing updates for 14.2 will probably stop, once -current has diverged too
-much from 14.2 to keep it all manageable.
-
-What is the NEWS in this batch of updates:
-- Frameworks 5.30.0 is an enhancement release and contains one new framework
-  compared to my previous release: prison.
-  See https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.30.0.php
-- Plasma 5.8.5 is an incremental bug fix release for the 5.8 series.
-  See https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.8.5.php and if you want
-  to know more about the long term support (LTS) for Plasma 5.8, go read:
-  https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.8.0.php
-- Applications 16.12.1 contains many changes.  In these 16.12.x releases,
-  some of the big packages have been split into many smaller ones:
-  kde-baseapps, kdepim and kdewebdev (and these three packages are gone now).
-  Two other packages have been removed: gpgmepp (whose functionality has been
-  integrated into gpgme), and kuser (for which there is no replacement and
-  therefore I have kept it as part of applications-extra).
-  Formerly part of 'kdepim', the kdgantt2 program has been removed and it is
-  replaced by a new package 'kdiagram'.
-  Another new package 'kwave' was added in 16.12.0 (which I never built).
-  See https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-16.12.1.php .
-- I have removed kactivities, nepomuk and nepomuk-widgets from the 'kde4'
-  package subset.  These kdelibs4-based packages are no longer used by
-  other packages.
-  I also added a package there: libcddb4 is the old kdelibs4 based version
-  and it is needed to keep k3b running.  The latest libkcddb is Frameworks5
-  based and incompatible with k3b.
-  Unfortunately kdepimlibs4 is still required by kopete and klinkstatus.
-  I had to recompile kdepimlibs4 to remove gpgme++ files that are now part
-  of the gpgme package. If you want to repeat this at home, make sure you
-  only have 'akonadi4' installed, not the newer 'akonadi' from Applications.
-- In applications-extra, I  upgraded calligra to the recently released
-  Frameworks5 based version; a recompilation would have been needed anyway
-  in order to ditch kactivities.  The new calligra has shed some of its code
-  and no longer contains krita or kexi, they are developed independently now.
-  Flow and Stage have also been removed from the code but here the reason is
-  that their code is unmaintained.
-  Therefore I have added 'krita' as a new package.  If anyone needs 'kexi'
-  as well, let me know so I can add it (and its dependencies) next time.
-  Also, partitionmanager was upgraded and is now Frameworks5 based.  Note:
-  partitionmanager has issues using kdesu to gain root access to the disks
-  even though it will ask for the root password. If all actions are greyed
-  out, start it from the commandline with "sudo -s partitionmanager".
-- The 'kdeconnect' package in plasma-extra was upgraded.
-- The 'deps' section has two new packages (three in the Slackware 14.2 repo
-  as you can read below): libdmtx and qrencode, both of which are requirements
-  for the new 'kdiagram' package.
-  The 'libinput' package was upgraded to the same version as was recently
-  added to slackware-current (and compiled against the new package
-  'libwacom' just like in slackware-current).  Note that libinput and
-  libwacom are not part of the 'deps' for Slackware-current since these are
-  already covered by your Slackware install.
-- The qt5 package was upgraded to 5.7.1, and accompanying upgrades were
-  done for qt5-webkit, sip and PyQt5.  Note that qt5's dependencies have
-  increased again: it now requires libinput, libwacom, libxkbcommon.
-  I did not upgrade qt5 to 5.8.0 - it is too new and currently seems to have
-  issues with KWin.
-
-Further points of interest:
-- There are a couple of *runtime* dependencies that I did not add to the
-  ktown repository, but you may want to consider installing them yourself:
-  * vlc - will give phonon another backend to select from.
-  * python-twisted - required by kajongg to start & run.
-  * freerdp: access RDP servers through krdc.
-  All of these can be found in my regular package repository.
-- kde/kde4-extragear packages should be taken from slackware 14.2 or -current
-  (k3b, kaudiocreator, kplayer, kwebkitpart, oxygen-gtk2).
-- Lots of packages in the 'deps' department are completely new to Slackware.
-  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, cfitsio, grantlee-qt4, json-glib, libappindicator,
-  libdbusmenu-gtk, libdbusmenu-qt5, libdmtx, libindicator, libinput, libwacom,
-  libxkbcommon, lmdb, hack-font-ttf, ninja, noto-font-ttf, noto-cjk-font-ttf,
-  polkit-qt5-1, qca-qt5, qrencode, qt-gstreamer, qt5, qt5-webkit, sni-qt
-  and wayland.
-  The phonon package was extended so that it now supports both Qt4 and Qt5.
-- 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, telegram-qt,
-  telepathy-glib, telepathy-farstream, telepathy-haze, telepathy-gabble,
-  telepathy-morse, 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 .
-- Also worth mentioning: the KF5 ports of ktorrent, skanlite and the KDE
-  Development Suite can be found in the kde/applications-extra directory.
-  Also kjots, previously contained in KDEPIM, has been separated into its
-  own package in the kde/applications-extra directory.
-
-NOTE:
-If you install a 32bit program on a 64bit Slackware computer with multilib
-and that program needs legacy system tray support (think of Skype for
-instance), you will have to grab the 32-bit version of Slackware's
-'libdbusmenu-qt' and my ktown-deps package 'sni-qt', and run the
-'convertpkg-compat32 -i' command on them to create 'compat32' versions of these
-packages.  Then install both 'libdbusmenu-qt-compat32' and 'sni-qt-compat32'.
-Those two are mandatory addons for displaying system tray icons of 32bit
-binaries in 64bit multilib Plasma5.
-
-NOTE:
-Also explained in more detail below, upgrading to this KDE 5 is non-trivial.
-You will have to remove old KDE 4 packages manually.  If you do not have KDE
-installed at all, you will have to *install* some of Slackware's own KDE 4
-packages manually.
-
-NOTE:
-If you decide to install these packages on top of a fresh installation of
-  Slackware 14.2 or -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 'KDE' series, then you
-  can optionally install these Slackware packages as well:
-    * amarok
-    * k3b
-    * kaudiocreator
-    * kplayer
-    * kwebkitpart
-    * oxygen-gtk2
-
-NOTE:
-If you had installed KDE 4 previously as your default desktop, the removal
-of KDE 4 packages will break the symbolic link '/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc'.
-An attempt to run 'startx' in a console will fail with a black screen.
-After installing Plasma 5 for the first time, you need to run 'xwmconfig'
-and select 'xinitrc.plasma' as your desktop session.
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-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 14.2 or -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
-  # removepkg kdepimlibs
-  # removepkg kdevelop-php
-  # removepkg kdevelop-php-docs
-  ..or instead of the above, simply '# slackpkg remove kde' and de-select
-  the packages you want to keep (amarok, calligra, k3b etc).
-
-Alternativly, in case you are already using an older release of my KDE 5
-packages, you need to look up that particular release in the list right below
-(for instance: KDE 5_16.08) and then apply the actions shown for that KDE 5
-release *and* all more recent releases, i.e. work your way back up to this
-paragraph.  Here we go:
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.12 installed:
-- Upgrade to KDE 5_17.01
-  If you are running Slackware-current, manually install or upgrade libinput
-  and libwacom to the Slackware versions.
-  Remove the packages that no longer exist in KDE 5_17.01:
-  * removepkg kactivities
-  * removepkg nepomuk
-  * removepkg nepomuk-widgets
-  * removepkg gpgmepp
-  * removepkg kde-baseapps kdepim kdewebdev
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.11 installed:
-- Upgrade to KDE 5_16.12
-  Remove the packages that no longer exist in KDE 5_16.12:
-  * removepkg baloo
-  * removepkg baloo-widgets
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.08 installed:
-- No further actions are needed.
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.07 installed:
-- Upgrade to KDE 5_16.08
-  Remove the packages that no longer exist in KDE 5_16.07:
-  * removepkg kdegraphics-strigi-analyzer
-  * removepkg kdenetwork-strigi-analyzers
-  * rempovepkg kdesdk-strigi-analyzers
-  * removepkg kdepimlibs libkdeedu mplayerthumbs
-

-- Upgrade to KDE 5_16.07
-  Remove the packages that no longer exist in KDE 5_16.07:
-  * removepkg /var/log/packages/noto-font-ttf-2015-09-29-noarch-1alien
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.05 installed:
-- No further actions are needed.
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.04 installed:
-- No further actions are needed.
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.03 installed:
-- Upgrade to KDE 5_16.04
-  Remove the packages that no longer exist in KDE 5_16.04:
-  * removepkg kactivities-workspace
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.02 installed:
-- No further actions are needed.
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.01 installed:
-- No further actions are needed.
-
-Then proceed with installing/upgrading KDE 5 as outlined below.
-
-NOTE:
-The example commands are for Slackware -current but you
-can use these commands for Slackware 14.2 as well by replacing the /current/
-string with /14.2/ in the example commandlines below:
-
-NOTE:
-Instead of using the host alien.slackbook.org/alien/ktown/ you can pick any
-mirror like bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/ because a mirror may be faster.
-
-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.
-
-  # rsync -av rsync://alien.slackbook.org/alien/ktown/current/5/ 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/ 5/
-If you want only the 32-bit packages:
-  # rsync -av --exclude=x86_64 rsync://alien.slackbook.org/alien/ktown/current/5/ 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.
-
-If all you want is to install the packages I created, then you can skip the
-remainder of the README which details how to (re)compile the packages from
-their sources; it is not required reading material.
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-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
-(downloading from a mirror will usually be much faster):
-
-  # rsync -av rsync://alien.slackbook.org/alien/ktown/source/5/ 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 -
-  # cd 5/deps/telepathy
-  # ./telepathy.SlackBuild
-  # cd -
-
-Be prepared to wait a *long* time since this will compile a new Qt5 package
-among others.  The finished packages will be stored in /tmp and will already
-have been installed/upgraded automatically.
-
-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 !
-Reboot your computer and login to a Plasma session.
