-KDE5
-====
-
-Here is KDE 5_17.10 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.39.0,
-Plasma 5.11.0 and Applications 17.08.2 on top of Qt 5.9.2.
-
-Upgrading from the previous 5_17.09 is straight-forward.
-
-KDE-5_17.10 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.  Applications 17.12 will no longer
-ship anything based on kdelibs4.
-
-What is the NEWS in this batch of updates:
-- A few updates in the deps section.  Most importantly, qt5 was upgraded
-  to 5.9.2.  Two packages were recompiled: ddcutil and gpgme.
-- Plasma was updated to 5.11.0, see
-  https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.11.0.php .
-  I compiled plasma5-nm against openconnect so that it picks up support for
-  it.  However I did not add openconnect to the 'deps' section, you need
-  to install it separately if you need it. 
-  New to Plasma 5.11 is the Vault. It needs an encryption backend (cryfs or
-  encfs) at runtime but I did not add these to the 'deps'.  I might create
-  packages for those in my regular repository however.
-  Plasma 5.11 has more improvements, among others it comes with a new design
-  for systemsettings.
-- Frameworks 5.39.0 contains one new framework: qqc2-desktop-style, see
-  https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.39.0.php
-- Applications 17.08.2 is a stability update for KDE Applications
-  17.08 (where the following applications are finally also KF5 based: kmag,
-  kmousetool, kgoldrunner, kigo, konquest, kreversi, ksnakeduel, kspaceduel,
-  ksudoku, kubrick, lskat, and umbrello).
-  See https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-17.08.2.php .
-- In applications-extra I updated kpmcore, partitionmanager, krita and
-  the kdevelop suite (now finally including kdev-python).
-
-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.
-  * freerdp: access RDP servers through krdc.
-  * openconnect: support for Cisco's SSL VPN.
-  All of these can be found in my regular package repository.
-- The following kde/kde4-extragear packages should be taken from slackware
-  itself if you still need them: kaudiocreator, kplayer, kwebkitpart.
-- 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, accountsservice, cfitsio, cracklib, ddcutil, dvdauthor,
-  frei0r-plugins, grantlee-qt4, hack-font-ttf, id3lib, json-glib, lensfun,
-  libappindicator, libburn, libdbusmenu-gtk, libdbusmenu-qt5, libdmtx,
-  libindicator, libinput, libpwquality, libwacom, libxkbcommon, lmdb, mlt,
-  ninja, noto-font-ttf, noto-cjk-font-ttf, opencv, polkit-qt5-1, qca-qt5,
-  qrencode, qt-gstreamer, qt5, qt5-webkit, qtav, sni-qt, vid.stab
-  and wayland.
-  As a side note, libinput and libwacom have become part of Slackware-current.
-  Technically that makes them redundant in the above listing, however I still
-  compile Plasma5 packages for Slackware 14.2 so I left them in.
-  The phonon and poppler packages were extended so that they now support
-  Qt5 as well as Qt4.
-  Note that the SBo version of 'frei0r-plugins' package is called 'frei0r'.
-  If you have that SBo package installed, remove it.
-- 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, telegram-qt,
-  telepathy-glib, telepathy-farstream, telepathy-haze, telepathy-gabble,
-  telepathy-morse, 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 .
-- The kde/kde4 and kde/kde4-extragear directories contain packages that are
-  still required to support kdelibs4-based Applications.
-- Also worth mentioning: the KF5 ports of calligra, digikam, kile, krita,
-  ktorrent, partitionmanager, skanlite and the KDE Development Suite
-  can be found in kde/applications-extra . 
-  Finally, kjots (previously contained in KDEPIM) and kuser (abandoned by its
-  developer) have been moved into kde/applications-extra as well.
-
-NOTE:
-If you install a 32bit program on a 64bit Slackware computer with multilib
-and that program needs legacy system tray support (think of Steam for
-instance), you will have to grab the 32-bit version of Slackware's
-'libdbusmenu-qt' and my ktown-deps package 'sni-qt', and run the
-'convertpkg-compat32 -i' command on them to create 'compat32' versions
-of these packages.  Then install both 'libdbusmenu-qt-compat32' and
-'sni-qt-compat32'.  Those two are mandatory addons for displaying
-system tray icons of 32bit binaries in 64bit multilib Plasma5.
-
-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.  You can optionally install the following Slackware packages:
-    * amarok
-    * kaudiocreator
-    * kplayer
-    * kwebkitpart
-
-NOTE:
-If you had installed KDE 4 as your default desktop previously, 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
-  # removepkg kdepim
-  # removepkg kdepimlibs
-  # removepkg kdev-python
-  # removepkg kdevelop-php
-  # removepkg kdevelop-php-docs
-  ..or instead of the above, simply '# slackpkg remove kde' and de-select
-  the packages you want to keep (amarok, etc).
-
-Alternatively, in case you are already using an older release of my KDE 5
-packages, you need to look up that particular release in the list right below
-(for instance: KDE 5_16.08) and then apply the actions shown for that KDE 5
-release *and* all more recent releases, i.e. work your way back up to this
-paragraph.  Note that some of the old KDE package names were obsoleted along
-the way, they were split up, renamed or integrated and that is the reason
-for some of the 'removepkg' lines you'll see below.
-Here we go:
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_17.09 installed:
-- No further actions are needed.
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_17.07 installed:

-  * removepkg kactivities
-  * removepkg nepomuk

-- Upgrade to KDE 5_16.12
-  Remove the packages that no longer exist in KDE 5_16.12:
-  * removepkg baloo
-  * removepkg baloo-widgets
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.08 installed:
-- No further actions are needed.
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.07 installed:
-- Upgrade to KDE 5_16.08
-  Remove the packages that no longer exist in KDE 5_16.07:
-  * removepkg kdegraphics-strigi-analyzer
-  * removepkg kdenetwork-strigi-analyzers
-  * rempovepkg kdesdk-strigi-analyzers
-  * removepkg kdepimlibs libkdeedu mplayerthumbs
-
-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.
-
-NOTE:
-The example commands below are for Slackware -current but you can use
-these commands for Slackware 14.2 as well by replacing the /current/
-string with /14.2/ (provided there is a suitable 'ktown' release available
-for Slackware 14.2 of course):
-
-NOTE:
-Instead of using the mirror host bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/ ,
-you could choose the alternative mirror http://slackware.uk/people/alien-kde/ 
-
-NOTE:
-If you use 'slackpkg' to automate your upgrades, be sure to blacklist my
-custom packages or else slackpkg will always try to replace my packages
-with the stock Slackware versions if the package names are identical.
-As an example, you can add the following lines to the file
-"/etc/slackpkg/blacklist" to prevent this unintentional downgrading to KDE4:
-  # These three lines will blacklist all SBo, alien and multilib packages:
-  [0-9]+_SBo
-  [0-9]+alien
-  [0-9]+compat32
-If on the other hand you are using the 'slackpkg+' extension for slackpkg
-then your "/etc/slackpkg/blacklist" file should *not* contain the above
-lines!  The slackpkg+ extension enables the use of 3rd-party repositories
-with slackpkg and then Plasma5 package upgrades will be handled properly.
-
-
-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.
-
-  # rsync -Hav rsync://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/current/5/ 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.
-
-If you want only the 64-bit packages:
-  # rsync -Hav --exclude=x86 rsync://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/current/5/ 5/
-If you want only the 32-bit packages:
-  # rsync -Hav --exclude=x86_64 rsync://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/current/5/ 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:
-
-  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
-
-  Note that these separate language packs contain only the localizations for
-  kdelibs4 based applications.  All KDE Frameworks 5 based programs include
-  localizations in the packages themselves (meaning that you will get all
-  languages installed always).
-
-  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
-(downloading from a mirror will usually be much faster):
-
-  # rsync -Hav rsync://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/source/5/ 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 -
-  # cd 5/deps/telepathy
-  # ./telepathy.SlackBuild
-  # cd -
-
-Be prepared to wait a *long* time since this will compile a new Qt5 package
-among others.  The finished packages will be stored in /tmp and will already
-have been installed/upgraded automatically.
-
-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 !
-Reboot your computer and login to a Plasma session.
