The build order of these + packages has changed a bit as some packages moved to different Tiers. + See https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.25.0.php +- Plasma 5.7.4 is an incremental bug fix release for the 5.7 series. + See https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.7.4.php +- Applications 16.08.0 is the quarterly major upgrade. Kolourpaint and + Cervisia were finally ported to KDE Frameworks 5 (KF5). + The kdepimlibs tarball of the Kontakt Suite (PDEPIM) has been split + into akonadi-contacts, akonadi-mime and akonadi-notes. + Apart from kdepimlibs, several other packages have been removed: + kdegraphics-strigi-analyzer, kdenetwork-strigi-analyzers, + kdesdk-strigi-analyzers, libkdeedu and mplayerthumbs. + See https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-16.08.0.php . +- Several Qt5 related 'deps' have again been recompiled or upgraded because + of the upgrade of Qt5 to 5.7.0: sni-qt, qca-qt5, qt-gstreamer, phonon, + PyQt5, polkit-qt5-1, grantlee, poppler and libdbusmenu-qt5. +- A new font package 'hack-font-ttf' package was added to 'deps' - as + required by KDE. This is a monospaced TrueType font, primarily meant + for writing code. +- Several KF5 ports of 'extragear' packages were added to the + 'applications-extra' directory: a new version of KDE Partition Manager + (kpmcore, partitionmanager) and the all new KDEvelop (kdevplatform, + kdevelop-pg-qt, kdevelop and kdev-php). Note that the python plugin for + kdevelop can not be built because it requires python3 which we do not have + in Slackware. + +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. + * sshfs-fuse: required by kdeconnect to browse remote storage + on Android devices. + * 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 + (calligra, 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, libindicator, libinput, libxkbcommon, + lmdb, hack-font-ttf, ninja, noto-font-ttf, noto-cjk-font-ttf, polkit-qt5-1, + qca-qt5, 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, + 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 . +- Also worth mentioning: the KF5 ports of ktorrent and skanlite can be found + in the applications-extra directory. And kjots, previously contained in + KDEPIM, is separated into its own package in the kde/applications directory. + +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 + * calligra + * 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 + ..or instead of the above, simply '# slackpkg remove kde' and de-select + the packages you want to keep (amarok, calligra, k3b etc). + +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_16.08: + * removepkg kdegraphics-strigi-analyzer + * removepkg kdenetwork-strigi-analyzers + * rempovepkg kdesdk-strigi-analyzers + * removepkg kdepimlibs libkdeedu mplayerthumbs + +If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.06 installed: +- 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. + +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 +(and be careful of the 'dot' at the end of that command, it is part of the +commandline !!): + + # rsync -av rsync://alien.slackbook.org/alien/ktown/current/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 . +If you want only the 32-bit packages: + # rsync -av --exclude=x86_64 rsync://alien.slackbook.org/alien/ktown/current/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: + + # rsync -av rsync://alien.slackbook.org/alien/ktown/source/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 - + +Be prepared to wait a *long* time since this will compile a new Qt5 package +among others. The finished package will be stored in /tmp . + +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 ! + +============================================================================== + Eric Hameleers / alien at slackware dot com / 31-aug-2016 -- cgit v1.2.3
