From ddf62e04c4cc936d131f97392f343ebd044ce07d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Hameleers Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2015 10:33:33 +0200 Subject: KDE 4.14.3 with Long Term Support: refreshed the PKGLIST --- README | 187 ----------------------------------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 187 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 README (limited to 'README') diff --git a/README b/README deleted file mode 100644 index 02fab34..0000000 --- a/README +++ /dev/null @@ -1,187 +0,0 @@ -KDE4.14 -======= - -This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.14.3 for Slackware-current! -No guarantees about its useability on Slackware 14.1... it will likely not work. - -What's new: ------------ -This release includes the latest version of the Plasma Workspaces, 4.11.14. -Kactivities was taken from the 4.13.3 sources because that too, is missing -from KDE 4.14. -This set of packages includes the most recent versions of the Calligra -office suite and Kdevelop packages. -There were some other noteworthy updates in the 'extragear' department: -k3b, kdeconnect-kde, plasma-nm and partitionmanager. -And I sneaked some stuff in, which may not be of interest to everyone. For -phonon, phonon-getreamer, qt-gstreamer1 I have added Qt5 bindings so that you -can use them with KDE 5. And I added a phonon-vlc package, which of course -will only work if you also install my vlc package - some people prefer the -vlc backend for phonon to the gstreamer or the ancient mplayer backend. - -How to upgrade: ---------------- -The upgrade from Slackware-current's own 4.10.5 will be trivial. -The following Slackware packages outside KDE (the 'deps') need an update: -- akonadi, attica, libssh, phonon, phonon-gstreamer, shared-desktop-ontologies - and soprano. -One new dependency was introduced in KDE 4.12: -- LibRaw. -Three new packages have been added for KDE 4.13: -- eigen3, qt-gstreamer and xapian-core. -Six new dependencies for KDE 4.14: -- gstreamer1, gst1-plugins-base, gst1-plugins-good, libfakekey, orc and - qt-gstreamer1. -Removed dependency for KDE 4.14: -- qt-gstreamer (since we moved to qt-gstreamer1). - -Four KDE packages have been removed since the KDE 4.10.5 of Slackware-current: -- kdeadmin, kdetoys, kdesdk and kdenetwork have been split up into smaller - individual packages in 4.11. -Two packages were renamed in 4.12: -- kwallet is now called kwalletmanager. -- kdnssd became zeroconf-ioslave. -New packages were added too, in KDE 4.13: -- artikulate, baloo, baloo-widgets, kfilemetadata and kqtquickcharts. - -If you have installed the slackpkg+ extension to slackpkg and added my 'ktown' -repository, then "slackpkg install ktown" should show you a list of new -packages to install. - -Changes to Slackware's KDE: ---------------------------- -Noteworthy additions since Slackware's KDE are: -- kdeconnect-kde, which is the counterpart of the Andriod application - kdeconnect-android. KDE Connect allows your Android smartphone to - interact with your KDE Desktop. -- baloo, which is the next generation of the nepomuk project. It's responsible - for handling user metadata such as tags, rating and comments. - It also handles indexing and searching for files, emails, contacts, and so on. - Automatic migration from nepomuk to baloo has been added to KDE 4.13. -- plasma-nm: you have a choice of NetworkManager GUI now. - The original 'networkmanagement' widget will ultimately be replaced by - the new QML based 'plasma-nm' applet. The packages required for the - Plasma NetworkManager applet are: libmm-qt, libnm-qt and plasma-nm itself. - -NOTE: -The artikulate package requires gstreamer-1. Slackware still comes with -gstreamer-0.1 and therefore I added the gstreamer1 package to the 'deps'. -The gstreamer 1.x and 0.1 versions can co-exist on the same system, -so it should not be an intrusive addition. - -NOTE: -About the language packs (KDEI) - for Slackware 32-bit as well as 64-bit: -* KDE localizations (language packs) are available in the "kdei" subdirectory. - You only need one package (for your own language). - -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 - will have to install the following essential Slackware-current packages - at a a minimum: - * bluedevil - * polkit-kde-agent-1 - * polkit-kde-kcmodules-1 - And optionally install these as well: - * amarok - * kaudiocreator - * kdevelop-pg-qt - * kplayer - * ktorrent - * libktorrent - * wicd-kde - -NOTE: -Sources and scripts have been separated from the packages in my 'ktown' - repository starting with KDE 4.9-rc1. If you want the sources for - 4.14.3, run the following command to download them: - - # rsync -av rsync://alien.slackbook.org/alien/ktown/source/4.14.3 . - -Then if you want to compile the KDE packages on your computer, run: - # cd 4.14.3/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 ! - -But if all you want is the packages I created, then you can skip all of that. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -In order to install or upgrade to KDE 4.14.3, 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". - -To make it easy for you, here is a one-line command that downloads the whole -4.14.3 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/4.14.3 . - -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/4.14.3 . -If you want only the 32-bit packages: - # rsync -av --exclude=x86_64 rsync://alien.slackbook.org/alien/ktown/current/4.14.3 . - -Assuming you just downloaded the bits you want from the directory tree -"4.14.3", you must now change your current directory to where you found this -README (which is the directory called '4.14.3'). If you used one of the -above "rsync" commands then you can simply do: - - # cd 4.14.3 - -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/kde/*.t?z - # removepkg kdeadmin - # removepkg kdenetwork - # removepkg kdesdk - # removepkg kdetoys - # removepkg kwallet - # removepkg kdnssd - - On Slackware 64-bit: - # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86_64/deps/*.t?z - # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86_64/kde/*.t?z - # removepkg kdeadmin - # removepkg kdenetwork - # removepkg kdesdk - # removepkg kdetoys - # removepkg kwallet - # removepkg kdnssd - - If you already have one or more non-english language packs installed: - # 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. - -============================================================================== - Eric Hameleers / alien at slackware dot com / 11-nov-2014 - -- cgit v1.2.3
