From 0b5b956458e5d8135b0e9d20a9103f4378c1f97b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Hameleers Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2018 20:50:28 +0100 Subject: Release of KDE 5_18.01 for Slackware - PKGLIST updated with the list of available packages in this release (limited to slackware-current). - README updated. - README.testing added for 'testing' repository. --- README.5_17.12 | 380 --------------------------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 380 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 README.5_17.12 (limited to 'README.5_17.12') diff --git a/README.5_17.12 b/README.5_17.12 deleted file mode 100644 index 4287fd9..0000000 --- a/README.5_17.12 +++ /dev/null @@ -1,380 +0,0 @@ -KDE5 -==== - -Good-bye KDE 4! -Here is KDE 5_17.12 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.41.0, -Plasma 5.11.4 and Applications 17.12.0 on top of Qt 5.9.3. - -Upgrading from the previous 5_17.11 is not completely trivial so read on. - -KDE-5_17.12 is meant to be installed on top of Slackware -current. -It will *replace* any version of KDE 4 you might have installed! -The Plasma 5 Desktop has gotten rid of its Qt4 legacy. Applications 17.12 -no longer ships anything based on kdelibs4. - -What is the NEWS in this batch of updates: -- Several recompiled/upgraded 'deps': OpenAL, PyQt5, cfitsio, ddcutil, gpgme, - json-glib, libburn, libpwquality, libxkbcommon,lmdb and poppler. -- The telepathy section of the 'deps' also saw several upgrades: - libaccounts-glib, libaccounts-qt5, libnice, libsignon-glib, signon, - signon-plugin-oauth2, signon-ui, telegram-qt, telepathy-gabble, - telepathy-glib, telepathy-logger-qt5, telepathy-mission-control, - telepathy-morse and telepathy-qt5. -- Frameworks update is a stability release, see: - https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.41.0.php . -- Plasma also is a stability update, see - https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.11.4.php . - I compiled plasma5-nm against openconnect so that it picks up support for - it. However I did not add openconnect to the 'deps' section, you need - to install it separately if you need it. -- Applications 17.12.0 is where the hammer hits. KDE Applications 17.12 is - the first release that sheds its KDE4 legacy. Any program which had not - yet been ported to KDE Frameworks 5 has been removed. This means that we - say goodbye to the following packages: - libkface (unmaintained), blogilo (unmaintained and broken), jovie (replaced - by Qt Speech), kaccessible (superseded by Qt5 functionality), ksaneplugin - (no one used it), kde-runtime (split up), kremotecontrol, kppp, kfilereplace, - klinkstatus, kopete and kscd (I did not have a package for kscd anyway). - New is 'ksmtp' which belongs to the KDEPIM suite (also part of Applications). - And 'kstars' has moved out of Applications and into applications-extra - because it no longer follows the regular release schedule. - See https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-17.12.0.php . -- In applications-extra I have added kstars and rebuilt calligra and krita. - Upgraded are kile, kpmcore and partitionmanager. Removed is kuser because - that was still KDE4 based and no longer works now. -- I have emptied the kde/kde4 and kde/kde4-extragear subdirectories except - for the 'kdelibs' package. The 'oxygen-gtk2' package has been moved to - 'applications-extra' because it is still needed for Mozilla-based browsers. - If you have a KDE4-based application that needs library support on this - Plasma 5 desktop, let me know which of the removed packages needs to return - in 'kde/kde4'! -- The 'kdei' subdirectory which used to contain the localization packages, - is gone. The Plasma 5 localizations are contained in the packages - themselves now. This means that you can no longer selectively install - just one language, or even none at all. It will increase the disk space - requirements a bit. - -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. - * freerdp: access RDP servers through krdc. - * openconnect: support for Cisco's SSL VPN. - All of these can be found in my regular package repository. -- There's no more need to install any KDE4 package from Slackware 14.2. -- 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, accountsservice, cfitsio, cracklib, ddcutil, dvdauthor, - frei0r-plugins, grantlee-qt4, hack-font-ttf, id3lib, json-glib, lensfun, - libappindicator, libburn, libdbusmenu-gtk, libdbusmenu-qt5, libdmtx, - libindicator, libinput, libpwquality, libwacom, libxkbcommon, lmdb, mlt, - ninja, noto-font-ttf, noto-cjk-font-ttf, opencv, polkit-qt5-1, qca-qt5, - qrencode, qt-gstreamer, qt5, qt5-webkit, qtav, sni-qt, vid.stab - and wayland. - As a side note, libinput and libwacom have become part of Slackware-current. - Technically that makes them redundant in the above listing, however I still - compile Plasma5 packages for Slackware 14.2 so I left them in. - The phonon and poppler packages were extended so that they now support - Qt5 as well as Qt4. - Note that the SBo version of 'frei0r-plugins' package is called 'frei0r'. - If you have that SBo package installed, remove it. -- 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, telegram-qt, - telepathy-glib, telepathy-farstream, telepathy-haze, telepathy-gabble, - telepathy-morse, 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 . -- The kde/kde4 directory contains packages that are still required to - support 3rd party kdelibs4-based programs. -- Also worth mentioning: the KF5 ports of calligra, digikam, kaudiocreator, - kile, krita, ktorrent, kwebkitpart, partitionmanager, skanlite - and the KDE Development Suite can be found in kde/applications-extra . - Finally, kjots (previously contained in KDEPIM), kuser (abandoned by its - developer) and kstars (does not align with the Application release schedule - any longer) have been moved into kde/applications-extra as well. - -NOTE: -If you install a 32bit program on a 64bit Slackware computer with multilib -and that program needs legacy system tray support (think of Steam for -instance), you will have to grab the 32-bit version of Slackware's -'libdbusmenu-qt' and my ktown-deps package 'sni-qt', and run the -'convertpkg-compat32 -i' command on them to create 'compat32' versions -of these packages. Then install both 'libdbusmenu-qt-compat32' and -'sni-qt-compat32'. Those two are mandatory addons for displaying -system tray icons of 32bit binaries in 64bit multilib Plasma5. - -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. - -NOTE: -If you had installed KDE 4 as your default desktop previously, 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 kdepim - # removepkg kdepimlibs - # removepkg kdev-python - # removepkg kdevelop-php - # removepkg kdevelop-php-docs - ..or instead of the above, simply '# slackpkg remove kde'. - -Alternatively, in case you are already using an older release of my KDE 5 -packages, you need to look up that particular release in the list right below -(for instance: KDE 5_17.10) and then apply the actions shown for that KDE 5 -release *and* all more recent releases, i.e. work your way back up to this -paragraph.

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/5/ 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. - -If you want only the 64-bit packages: - # rsync -Hav --exclude=x86 rsync://slackware.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/current/5/ 5/ -If you want only the 32-bit packages: - # rsync -Hav --exclude=x86_64 rsync://slackware.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/current/5/ 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: - - 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/5/ 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 hopefully (have not tested the script -'updates.SlackBuild' in a long time) as easy as this: - # cd 5/deps - # ./updates.SlackBuild - # cd - - # cd 5/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 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 ! -Reboot your computer and login to a Plasma session. - -============================================================================== - Eric Hameleers / alien at slackware dot com / 21-dec-2017 -- cgit v1.2.3
