It will *replace* any version of KDE 4 you might have installed!
What is the NEWS in this batch of updates:
-- Frameworks 5.25.0 is an enhancement release. 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.
+- Frameworks 5.27.0 is an enhancement release.
+ See https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.27.0.php
+- Plasma 5.8.3 is an incremental bug fix release for the 5.8 series.
+ Note that this is the first Plasma 5.8 that goes into my 'ktown' packages
+ as you will notice straight away when starting a Plasma session. There is
+ a new 'loading' animation again.
+ Plasma 5.8 is labeled a Long Term Support (LTS) release. In part this
+ has been done because the developers think that 5.8 marks the point where
+ users who loved KDE 4 and turned away from Plasma 5 should re-evaluate
+ this desktop environment and hopefully want to stay.
+ The 5.8 LTS release should work with Qt 5.6.1 but I think it is better
+ to stick with the Qt 5.7 which I already used for the previous 'ktown'
+ iteration.
+ See https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.8.3.php and if you want
+ to know more about the LTS, go read:
+ https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.8.0.php
+- Applications 16.08.2 is a maintenance upgrade.
+ See https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-16.08.2.php .
+- Upgrades for kdeconnect and sddm can be found in the 'plasma-extra'
+ subdirectory, while a newer skanlite can be found in 'applications-extra'.
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
