It will *replace* any version of KDE 4 you might have installed!
The Plasma 5 Desktop has gotten rid of its Qt4 legacy. Since the release of
Applications 17.12 there's nothing left which is based on kdelibs4.
What is the NEWS in this batch of updates:
-- Updates in the 'deps' section are as follows:
- The qt5 and qt5-speech packages have been updated to 5.13.1,
- PyQt5 was updated to 5.13.0 and there's a new official polkit-qt5-1 version
- too: 0.113.0. The cryfs package was updated to 0.10.2 and the phonon layer
- is now Qt5-only: phonon 4.11.0, phonon-gstreamer 4.10.0, phonon-vlc 0.11.0.
- The telepathy deps have two updates: libsignon-glib and
- telepathy-acccounts-signon.
- Tell me if you actually use KDE Telepathy! I think it is a heroic but doomed
- effort to create a voice & video capable IM framework for KDE. I am thinking
- of completely removing it from my 'ktown' package set.
-- Frameworks 5.62.0 is an incremental stability release, see:
- https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.62.0.php
-- Plasma 5.16.5 is an incremental bugfix release in the 5.16 cycle of the
- desktop part of KDE. See https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.16.5.php
-- In plasma-extra I updated kdeconnect-framework, latte-dock and wacomtablet.
-- Applications 19.08.1 is a stability and bugfix update for the 19.08 cycle,
- see https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-19.08.1.php
- Note that I never shipped the 19.08.0 release but its announcement contains
- a lot of relevant info: https://kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-19.08.0.php
-- In applications-extra I updated krita, krusader and kstars.
+- A few updates in the 'deps' section - the cracklib package got a version
+ bump, and the latest phonon and phonon-vlc releases have been packaged.
+ The telepathy dependencies have been removed completely,
+ Indeed, the feedback on my question in the README for last month's 'ktown'
+ release made clear that no one uses KDE Telepathy. For me it never worked,
+ so this month we say good-bye to KDE Telepathy and its dependencies.
+- Frameworks 5.63.0 is an incremental stability release, see:
+ https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.63.0.php - but also adds
+ two new packages. Kcalcore and kcontacts have moved from KDEPIM to the
+ KDE Frameworks. Also, kcalcore was renamed to kcalendarcore.
+- Plasma 5.17.0 is a the first release of the 5.17 cycle of the
+ desktop part of KDE. See https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.17.0.php
+- In plasma-extra I updated latte-dock.
+- Applications 19.08.2 is a stability and bugfix update for the 19.08 cycle,
+ see https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-19.08.2.php
+- In applications-extra I updated digikam, libktorrent, ktorrent, alkimia,
+ kmymoney, kpmcore, krita, okteta, and the development suite kdevelop,
+ kdev-php, and and kdev-python.
+- The telepathy packages are no longer included as of now. Check further
+ down in this README for the 'removepkg' commands you can use to remove
+ the now obsoleted Telepathy packages and their dependencies.
