-KDE5
-====
-
-This is KDE 5_15.06 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.10.0,
-Plasma 5.3.1 and Applications 15.04.2.  Compared to my KDE 5_15.05 the only
-updates are the new set of Applications packages.  This includes LTS
-(Long Term Support) updates for kdelibs, kdepimlibs, kdepim, kdepim-runtime
-and kde-workspace.
-One package is new:
-- kde4-extragear/kdeconnect4 contains the essentials of the KDE4 based
-  kdeconnect-kde which will allow you to access your Android device with the
-  (also still KDE4 based) Dolphin.  This package therefore fixes the errors
-  you would get if you tried to access your Android device in Plasma 5.
-One package has been modified:
-- kde4/kactivities, the KDE4 based version, no longer contains the
-  kactivitymanagerd binary.
-  The same daemon in the kactivities-framework works fine with the KDE4 based
-  activities libraries. When installing all my KDE5 packages in one massive
-  upgrade, the kactivities package would get installed after the
-  kactivities-framework package and the KDE4 based kactivitymanagerd would
-  overwrite the Frameworks version, causing serious desktop crashes.
-Note:
-This is meant only to be installed on top of Slackware -current and it will
-*replace* any version of KDE 4 you migh thave installed!
-
-Further points of interest that are unchanged since the previous releases:
-- kde/kde4-extragear packages should be taken from slackware-current (calligra,
-  k3b, kaudiocreator, kplayer, kwebkitpart, oxygen-gtk2, oxygen-gtk3,
-  kdevplatform, kdevelop-pg-qt, kdevelop, kdev-python, kdevelop-php,
-  kdevelop-php-docs, skanlite, kio-mtp, libktorrent, ktorrent, partitionmanager)
-- I still did not compile the new Plasma Mediacenter tech-preview.
-- Note that I did not compile the new KDEnlive and KDE Telepathy. They need
-  a lot of attention before I can build them and it was more important to me
-  to have a new release of KDE 5 out as fast as possible, that works with
-  the latest slackware-current.
-  If you are curious and want to try yourself, start by reading:
-  https://community.kde.org/KTp/Setting_up_KAccounts
-- katepart4 was added so that kdevelop works again
-- konsolepart4 was added to be able to use an embedded konsole in dolphin
-- sddm-theme-breeze was removed, the theme is now part of plasma-workspace
-- Lots of packages in the 'deps' department which 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, these are the
-  new ones:
-  OpenAL, PyQT5, cfitsio, grantlee-qt5, json-glib, libappindicator,
-  libdbusmenu-gtk, libdbusmenu-qt5, libepoxy, libfakekey, libindicator,
-  polkit-qt5-1, qca-qt5, qt-gstreamer, qt5, sni-qt, wayland and xapian-core.
-- Note for users of multilib Slackware64 and also using Skype: you will have to
-  grab the 32-bit version of sni-qt and run 'convertpkg-compat32' on it,
-  or else Skype won't be able to dock its icon in the systray.
-- A bit sneakily, I built phonon-vlc for you.  You will also need a VLC package
-  to be able to use this package though.
-- Several source tarballs in Plasma 5.2.0 have not been compiled to Slackware
-  packages: libbluedevil and bluedevil (they need BlueZ 5 which is not part of
-  Slackware), muon (a debian/ubuntu package manager), libkface (needs opencv
-  which I was not willing to add as a dependency).
-- One dependency which you'll probably find curious, is wayland. It is required
-  in order to *compile* KWin's X11 driver, but it is apparently not needed at
-  *runtime*. Nevertheless, I left the package in, just in case you want or need
-  to recompile kwin (actually, it does not seem required any longer, but that
-  issue will be revisited on next Plasma update).
-- Graphical login: KDM has been replaced with SDDM. Slackware-current supports
-  it already.  Select "Plasma" from the SDDM session dropdown.
-  Alternatively, if you prefer good old runlevel 3, you can type (at your own
-  user account's command prompt):
-    $ xwmconfig
-  ... and select "xinitrc.plasma" as your default window manager for X.
-  Then run:
-    $ startx
-
-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
-  will have to install the following essential Slackware-current packages
-  at a a minimum:
-    * bluedevil
-    * libktorrent
-  And optionally install these extragear packages as well:
-    * amarok
-    * calligra
-    * k3b
-    * kaudiocreator
-    * kplayer
-    * kwebkitpart
-    * kaudiocreator
-    * kdevplatform
-    * kdevelop-pg-qt
-    * kdevelop
-    * kdev-python
-    * kdevelop-php
-    * kdevelop-php-docs
-    * kio-mtp
-    * ktorrent
-    * oxygen-gtk2
-    * oxygen-gtk3
-    * partitionmanager
-    * skanlite
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-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 recompile Qt4 and 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 !
-
-But if all you want is the packages I created, then you can skip all of that.
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-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-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
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_15.05 installed:
-- Re-install 'ktown' packages:
-  * kactivities-framework
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_15.04 installed:
-- Remove packages that no longer exist in KDE 5_15.05:
-  * removepkg qt-gstreamer0
-- Re-install 'ktown' packages:
-  * qt-gstreamer
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_15.03 installed:
-- Remove packages that no longer exist in KDE 5_15.04:
-  # removepkg gst1-plugins-base
-  # removepkg gst1-plugins-good
-  # removepkg gstreamer1
-  # removepkg qt-gstreamer1
-  # removepkg libmm-qt5
-- Re-install original Slackware-current packages that were removed from "deps"
-  in KDE 5_15.04 (this will be easiest using slackpkg):
-  * LibRaw
-  * akonadi
-  * attica
-  * cmake
-  * eigen3
-  * exiv2
-  * grantlee
-  * harfbuzz
-  * libfakekey
-  * libodfgen
-  * librevenge
-  * libssh
-  * libwpd
-  * orc
-  * poppler
-  * qt
-  * shared-desktop-ontologies
-  * soprano
-  * strigi
-
-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/kde/*/*.t?z
-
-  On Slackware 64-bit:
-  # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86_64/deps/*.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.
