-KDE 5_1501
-==========
-
-This is KDE 5 for Slackware-current, composed of Frameworks 5.6.0, Plasma 5.2.0
-and Applications 14.12.1.
-
-Compared to Applications 14.12.0, the Applications 14.12.1 adds LTS releases of
-kdelibs, kdepimlibs, kdepim-runtime, kdepim and kde-workspace.
-I am not going to ship kde-workspace because its contents largely collide with
-the plasma-workspace and we want to have a Plasma Workspace.
-
-Plasma 5.2.0 has many improvements to the previous 5.1.2, and comes with
-several new packages (some of which I originally had in plasma-extra but have
-now found their rightful place): (lib)bluedevil, ksshaskpass, muon,
-sddm-kcm-module, kscreen2, polkit-framework, kde-gtk-config, kdecoration.
-And unfortunately, in order to be able to compile KWin, I had to add wayland
-to the "deps/" for this release of Plasma.
-I will not ship a 'muon' package since that is only meaningful on debian and
-derivatives like ubuntu.
-
-Note that there is still a lot of KDE 4 stuff in here, which is necessary to
-support all the Applications that have not yet been ported to KDE Frameworks 5.
-The Applications 15.04 (march 2015) release should offer a lot more KF5 ports.
-
-
-CURRENT RUNTIME ISSUES:
-=======================
-
-These are issues I ran into while testing on my Virtual machine. Not tested yet
-if they occur on real hardware.
-
-- plasmashell crashes a lot, with error message "the x11 connection broke:
- unsupported extension used (code 2)". I can reliably reproduce this by
- moving the mouse into any window icon in the task bar (probably because
- KWin wants to show something of the window contents).
- Symptom: the desktop disappears and leaves a black screen. If you happen to
- have a konsole window open, you can type "plasmashell" to get the desktop
- back and watch the errors when it crashes again.
-
-
-COMPILING IT ALL:
-=================
-
-Preliminary build procedure:
-----------------------------
-
-- (crude) get rid of Slackware's KDE:
- # removepkg /var/log/packages/*-4.10.5-*
- # removepkg libkscreen
- # removepkg kscreen
-- build all the deps using "updates.SlackBuild" script in the "deps/" directory
- - note that extra-cmake-modules is required here as well as when building the
- frameworks, so I just copied it from frameworks to deps.
- - I removed akonadi-qt5 from the built deps because it won't be used until
- there is a kdepimlibs-framework, and currently it causes kdepimlibs-4.14
- to pick up Qt5 dependencies making its build fail
-- logoff/login to activate Qt5 profile script.
-- build all the KDE 4 stuff in the "kde/" directory, using "./KDE.SlackBuild kde libs kdebase:nepomuk-core kdepimlibs kdebase kdebindings kdepim extragear"
-- check that everything built correctly
-- build the remaining KDE 5 stuff in the "kde/" directory, using "./KDE.SlackBui
-ld frameworks plasma plasma-extra applications"
-- check that everything built correctly
-- remove kde-workspace and re-install plasma-workspace (kde-workspace is only
- used to build kdeartwork)
-- (optionally) build kdei
-- If you want to use SDDM as your graphical login manager, use the following
- patch to /etc/rc.d/rc.4:

-BUILD LOG FOR PLASMA:
-=====================
-
-DONE: Need to recompile everything making sure that Qt4 is not picked up by accident, or else set "export QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH=path/to/qt/plugins" to get rid of the start-time error:
- Failed to load platform plugin "xcb". Available platforms are:
- linuxfb minimal offscreen xcb
- Aborted
- >> The fix was to rebuild the qt5 package, not all of the rest :-)
-SKIP: change "qtpaths" to "qtpaths-qt5" in /usr/bin/startkde
- (not needed for Slackware, because /etc/profile.d/qt5.sh expands $PATH)
-SKIP: change "qdbus" to "qdbus-qt5" in /usr/bin/startkde
- (not needed for Slackware, because /etc/profile.d/qt5.sh expands $PATH)
-SKIP: rename /usr/bin/startkde to /usr/bin/startkde5 because it clashes with the script from kde-workspace. Also update the plasma*desktop scripts to call startkde5 instead of startkde.
- (I removed kde-workspace instead, we do not need that anyway)
-DONE: Remove kde5-plasma*.desktop because plasma-workspace now includes its own plasma.desktop
-
-
-BUILD LOG FOR PLASMA-EXTRA:
-===========================
-
-DONE: sddm-qt5 (no longer adds an /etc/sddm.conf so we need to generate one in its doinst.sh)
-
-
-BUILD LOG FOR APPLICATIONS:
-===========================
-
-DONE: kdoctools (needs a fix for its CMake search for path to "/usr/share/xml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.5/docbookx.dtd", which causes a build error in kde-dev-scripts later on)
-DONE: kde-dev-scripts (needs a fixed "/usr/share/kf5/kdoctools/customization/dtd/kdex.dtd" in kdoctools)
-SKIP: libkface (needs opencv, so this will get skipped due to my reservations with it)
-DONE: kdeartwork (missed kde-workspace, will be fixed in the next iteration)
-DONE: kdewebdev (seems like tidy added the KDE.SlackBuild parameter to the path of its header file)
-DONE: kalgebra (needs patch to link properly to ncurses)
-DONE: kanagram (needed libkeduvocdocument, was missing due to build order issue)
-DONE: khangman (needed libkeduvocdocument, was missing due to build order issue)
-DONE: parley (needed libkeduvocdocument, was missing due to build order issue)
-DONE: okular (needed libkscreen removed)
-DONE: kalgebra (needed a refreshed curses patch)
-DONE: step (needed an update of eigen2 to compile successfully)
