From a8539185154211579e0474568a4a5c33a7d081d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Hameleers Date: Wed, 18 May 2016 13:37:15 +0200 Subject: Release of KDE 5_16.05 for Slackware. --- README.5_16.04 | 318 --------------------------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 318 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 README.5_16.04 (limited to 'README.5_16.04') diff --git a/README.5_16.04 b/README.5_16.04 deleted file mode 100644 index 54d0167..0000000 --- a/README.5_16.04 +++ /dev/null @@ -1,318 +0,0 @@ -KDE5 -==== - -Here is KDE 5_16.04 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.21.0, -Plasma 5.6.3 and Applications 16.04.0. - -Upgrading from the previous 5_16.03 should be straight-forward. -KDE-5_16.04 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 5.21.0 is an enhancement release with one new framework: - kactivities-stats. - See https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.21.0.php -- Plasma 5.6.3 is the third interation of the 5.6 series which I have not - shipped before. I have upgraded Qt5 to 5.6.0 to accompany this Plasma - release. Lots of visual improvements, the task manager is much more - informative about running tasks and the weather applet is back... -- Two packages were removed that I added to 'plasma-extra' to cover for the - period after release of Frameworks 5.20.0 and before Plasma 5.6.0. - The package 'kactivities-workspace' has been absorbed in Plasma and - Applications packages, and 'kactivitymanagerd' is now part of Plasma itself. - See https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.6.3.php . -- Applications 16.04.0 was just released. KColorChooser, KFloppy, KMahjongg - and KRDC have now been ported to KDE Frameworks 5, and the Kontact Suite - (KDEPIM) has been subject to massive bughunting (and -fixing). Lots of - PIM related libraries were split-off into their own source tarballs, - resulting in 16 new packages. For the announcement, see - https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-16.04.0.php . -- KDE Telepathy now officially has a voice & video GUI application. - Previously I shipped a beta release of the "ktp-call-ui" package. - Also I upgraded or recompiled the complete stack of "deps/telepathy" - packages. -- ktorrent (and libktorrent) have also been ported to KF5, and packages for - these have been added to kde/applications-extra/ . -- Phonon, and its plugins for gstreamer and VLC backends, have been upgraded - offering improvements for the Qt5 build, better volume slider and muting - support, and use of the VLC 2.2 API. Remember, if you actually want to - use the VLC backend for phonon you will have to install a VLC package - separately (it is not included with the 'ktown' releases). -- And finally, QT5 was updated to the latest release 5.6.0. A new package - was added (qt5-webkit) because the Qt5 WebKit source code has been removed - from Qt5 since 5.6.0 and it needs to be compiled/packaged separately now. - -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, 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, qt5-webkit, 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 - can 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 - * oxygen-gtk2 - * partitionmanager - * skanlite - -NOTE: -If you had installed KDE4 previously as your default desktop, the removal -of KDE4 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 Plasma5 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 !
