It will *replace* any version of KDE 4 you might have installed!
The Plasma 5 Desktop has gotten rid of its Qt4 legacy. Since the release of
Applications 17.12 there's nothing left which is based on kdelibs4.
What is the NEWS in this batch of updates:
-- A few updates in the 'deps' section - the cracklib package got a version
- bump, and the latest phonon and phonon-vlc releases have been packaged.
- The telepathy dependencies have been removed completely,
- Indeed, the feedback on my question in the README for last month's 'ktown'
- release made clear that no one uses KDE Telepathy. For me it never worked,
- so this month we say good-bye to KDE Telepathy and its dependencies.
-- Frameworks 5.63.0 is an incremental stability release, see:
- https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.63.0.php - but also adds
- two new packages. Kcalcore and kcontacts have moved from KDEPIM to the
- KDE Frameworks. Also, kcalcore was renamed to kcalendarcore.
-- Plasma 5.17.0 is a the first release of the 5.17 cycle of the
- desktop part of KDE. See https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.17.0.php
+- This month's updates to the 'deps' are: qt5 and PyQt5.
+ Fresh additions are: LibRaw and exiv2. These are stock Slackware packages
+ and the two are being upgraded ahead of Slackware, so that the Plasma5
+ packages can pick them up. Pat added the shared libs for the older
+ releases to 'aaa_elflibs' so that none of the Slackware packages will
+ break when you install this month's Plasma5 packages.
+ And I have removed qt5-speech because I overlooked that this is already
+ part of the big qt5 package.
+- I rebuilt kdelibs in the KDE4 section, just like Pat did for Slackware.
+ This removes hardcoded TLSv1 allowing TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2.
+- Frameworks 5.64.0 is an incremental stability release, see:
+ https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.64.0.php
+- Plasma 5.17.2 is a an incremental bug-fix release in the 5.17 cycle of the
+ KDE desktop environment. See https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.17.2.php
- In plasma-extra I updated latte-dock.
-- Applications 19.08.2 is a stability and bugfix update for the 19.08 cycle,
- see https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-19.08.2.php
-- In applications-extra I updated digikam, libktorrent, ktorrent, alkimia,
- kmymoney, kpmcore, krita, okteta, and the development suite kdevelop,
- kdev-php, and and kdev-python.
-- The telepathy packages are no longer included as of now. Check further
- down in this README for the 'removepkg' commands you can use to remove
- the now obsoleted Telepathy packages and their dependencies.
+- Applications 19.08.3 is a stability and bugfix update for the 19.08 cycle,
+ see https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-19.08.3.php
+- In applications-extra I updated digikam, kile (finally 3.0 beta 3!), kstars
+ and kdevelop-pg-qt, kdevelop, kdev-php, kdev-python. Due to the new exiv2
+ and LibRaw I rebuilt krename and krita.
