+KDE-5_17.05 is meant to be installed on top of Slackware -current.
It will *replace* any version of KDE 4 you might have installed! Plasma 5
has mostly gotten rid of its Qt4 legacy.
What is the NEWS in this batch of updates:
-- The 'deps' section has one recompiled package (because of incompatible
- library updates in slackware-current): dvdauthor, and five upgrades:
- accountsservice, frei0r-plugins, gpgme, ninja and poppler.
- There's also one new package: qtav as a new dependency for digikam.
-- Frameworks 5.33.0 is an bugfix release.
- See https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.33.0.php
-- Plasma 5.9.4 is yet another iteration of the 5.9 series with small fixes only.
- See https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.9.4.php .
-- Applications 17.04.0 is an new major release. Again some remaining kdelibs4
- based applications have been ported to KF5.
- See https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-17.04.0.php .
- The k3b is now part of the Applications suite, so I have removed the package
- based on a git snapshot from 'applications-extra'. Another package which
- is no longer part of my 'ktown' set: kajongg (it requires python3 now).
- Two packages are no longer shipped becasue their sources are no longer part
- of Applications: pim-storage-service-manager and kommander.
-- In applications-extra I added the latest releases of the kdevelop suite
- and of kpmcore (the partitionmanager core libraries). I rebuilt digikam
- against qtav.
- The newest calligra was already added last week as part of a package
- rebuild, caused by slackware-current library updates.
-- In kde4-extragear I have added audiocd-kio4 and libkcompactdisc4 which are
- built from kdelibs4 based Applications 16.08.3 sources.
- The audiocd-kio4, libkcddb4 and libkcompactdisc4 packages are (only)
- required by kaudiocreator.
+No exciting stuff, the changes compared to last week are minimal.
+- The 'deps' section has two updated packages: json-glib and sip.
+- Plasma 5.9.5 is the final bugfix release of the 5.9 series before 5.10.
+ The oxygen theme package is now extended with Qt4 support so that KDE4
+ applications can blend in with the Plasma 5 applications if you use the
+ Oxygen theme.
+ See https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.9.5.php .
+- In applications-extra I updated krita and krusader, and rebuilt calligra.
+- In kde4-extragear I added a patched oxygen-gtk2 package which should
