+ +Then proceed with installing/upgrading KDE 5 as outlined below. + +NOTE: +The example commands below are for Slackware -current but you can use +these commands for Slackware 14.2 as well; by replacing the /current/ +string with /14.2/ (provided there is a suitable 'ktown' release available +for Slackware 14.2 of course). + +NOTE: +Instead of using the mirror host http://slackware.nl/alien-kde/ (its rsync URI +is rsync://slackware.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/), you could choose the alternative +mirror http://slackware.uk/people/alien-kde/ (its rsync URI is +rsync://slackware.uk/people/alien-kde/) + +NOTE: +If you use 'slackpkg' to automate your upgrades, be sure to blacklist my +custom packages or else slackpkg will always try to replace my packages +with the stock Slackware versions if the package names are identical. +As an example, you can add the following lines to the file +"/etc/slackpkg/blacklist" to prevent this unintentional downgrading to KDE4: + # These three lines will blacklist all SBo, alien and multilib packages: + [0-9]+_SBo + [0-9]+alien + [0-9]+compat32 +If on the other hand you are using the 'slackpkg+' extension for slackpkg +then your "/etc/slackpkg/blacklist" file should *not* contain the above +lines! The slackpkg+ extension enables the use of 3rd-party repositories +with slackpkg and then Plasma5 package upgrades will be handled properly. + + +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 -Hav rsync://slackware.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/current/latest/ latest/ + +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. + +If you want only the 64-bit packages: + # rsync -Hav --exclude=x86 rsync://slackware.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/current/latest/ latest/ +If you want only the 32-bit packages: + # rsync -Hav --exclude=x86_64 rsync://slackware.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/current/latest/ latest/ + +Assuming you just downloaded the bits you want from the directory tree "latest" +you must now change your current directory to where you found this README +(which is the directory called 'latest'). If you used one of the above "rsync" +commands then you can simply do: + + # cd latest + +From within this directory, you run the following commands as root: + + 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 + + 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 -Hav rsync://slackware.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/source/latest/ latest/ + +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 hopefully (have not tested the scripts +'updates.SlackBuild' and 'alldeps.SlackBuild' in a long time) as easy as this: + # cd latest/deps + # ./updates.SlackBuild + # cd - + # cd latest/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 latest/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. + +============================================================================== + Eric Hameleers / alien at slackware dot com / 16-oct-2018 -- cgit v1.2.3
