The sip - package has been removed from 'deps' because Slackware 14.2 now has a - proper version of that. -- The 'noto-font-ttf' package was rebuilt because the VERSION number contained - dashes, which created an illegal package name. You have to remove the old - package manually. -- A new 'libinput' package was added as dependency for Qt5. It will be needed - in future by KWin. FYI: a X.Org driver 'xf86-input-libinput' exists as a - wrapper around libinput that can replace evdev and synaptics drivers. - -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, partitionmanager) -- 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, libxkbcommon, lmdb, - 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 - KDE PIM, 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 - * kdevplatform - * kdevelop-pg-qt - * kdevelop - * kdev-python - * kdevelop-php - * kdevelop-php-docs - * 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 - ..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_16.06 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 / 22-jul-2016 |
