-====
-
-Here is KDE 5_19.11 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE
-Frameworks 5.64.0, Plasma 5.17.2 and Applications 19.08.3 on top of Qt 5.13.2.
-
-Upgrading from the previous 5_19.10 is relatively straight-forward.
-
-KDE-5_19.11 is meant to be installed on top of Slackware -current.
-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:
-- 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 19.08.3 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.
-
-Further points of interest:
-- If you have a KDE4-based application that needs library support on this
-  Plasma 5 desktop, let me know which of the removed packages needs to return
-  in 'kde/kde4'!
-- 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.
-- There's no more need to install any KDE4 package from Slackware.
-- 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.  Apart from updates to regular Slackware packages the new ones are:
-  OpenAL, PyQt5, SDL_sound, QScintilla, accountsservice, brotli, cfitsio,
-  cracklib, cryptopp, cryfs, ddcutil, dotconf, drumstick, dvdauthor,
-  espeak-ng, flite, freecell-solver, frei0r-plugins, grantlee-qt4,
-  hack-font-ttf, hyphen, id3lib, lensfun, libappindicator, libburn,
-  libdbusmenu-gtk, libdbusmenu-qt5, libdmtx, libindicator, libinput,
-  libpwquality, libsass, libwacom, libxkbcommon, mlt, ninja, noto-font-ttf,
-  noto-cjk-font-ttf, opencv, pcaudiolib, perl-path-tiny, perl-template-toolkit,
-  polkit-qt5-1, python-enum34, python3-random2, quazip, qca-qt5, qrencode,
-  qt-gstreamer, qt5, qt5-webkit, qtav, rttr, sassc, sni-qt,
-  speech-dispatcher, vid.stab, wayland and woff2.
-  As a side note, id3lib libinput libwacom and ninja have become part
-  of Slackware-current.
-  Technically that makes them redundant in the above listing, however I still
-  provide older 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. The gpgme package picked up Qt5 support.
-  Note that the SBo version of 'frei0r-plugins' package is called 'frei0r'.
-  If you have that SBo package installed, remove it.
-- KDEI is gone. The localizations are now embedded in each package and
-  no longer available as separate 'kdei' packages. This is a by design.
-  You will get all languages installed by default.
-
-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.
-
-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.
-
-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.
-
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-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 to return to the console.
-If your computer boots to runlevel 4 (graphical login) you first have to go
-back to runlevel 3 (console) after logging out.  Press <Ctrl><Alt><F1> to
-switch to a console, logon there, and execute the command "init 3" to
-switch from runlevel 4 to 3, thereby effectively stopping X.
-
-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 amarok
-  # removepkg kscreen
-  # removepkg kactivities
-  # removepkg kde-workspace
-  # removepkg kdeconnect-kde
-  # removepkg kdepim
-  # removepkg kdepimlibs
-  # removepkg kdev-python
-  # removepkg kdevelop-php
-  # removepkg kdevelop-php-docs
-  # removepkg libkscreen
-  # removepkg libmm-qt
-  # removepkg libnm-qt
-  # removepkg plasma-nm
-  # removepkg polkit-kde-agent-1
-  # removepkg polkit-kde-kcmodules-1
-  # removepkg wicd-kde
-  ... or instead of the above, simply run 'slackpkg remove kde'.
-
-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_19.07) 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_19.10 installed:
-- Upgrade to KDE 5_19.11
-  Remove the packages that no longer exist in KDE 5_19.11:
-  # removepkg qt5-speech
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_19.09 installed:
-- Upgrade to KDE 5_19.10
-  Remove the packages that no longer exist in KDE 5_19.10:
-  # removepkg kcalcore
-  # removepkg farstream \
-              libaccounts-glib \
-              libaccounts-qt5 \
-              libnice \
-              libotr \
-              libsignon-glib \
-              signon \
-              signon-plugin-oauth2 \
-              signon-ui \
-              telegram-qt \
-              telepathy-accounts-signon \
-              telepathy-farstream \
-              telepathy-gabble \
-              telepathy-glib \
-              telepathy-haze \
-              telepathy-logger \
-              telepathy-logger-qt5 \
-              telepathy-mission-control \
-              telepathy-morse \
-              telepathy-qt5
-  # removepkg kaccounts-integration \
-              kaccounts-providers \
-              ktp-accounts-kcm \
-              ktp-approver \
-              ktp-auth-handler \
-              ktp-call-ui \
-              ktp-common-internals \
-              ktp-contact-list \
-              ktp-contact-runner \
-              ktp-desktop-applets \
-              ktp-filetransfer-handler \
-              ktp-kded-module \
-              ktp-send-file \
-              ktp-text-ui \
-              signon-kwallet-extension
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_19.07 installed:
-- No further actions are needed.
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_19.06 installed:
-- No further actions are needed.
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_19.05 installed:
-- No further actions are needed.
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_19.02 installed:
-- No further actions are needed.
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_19.01 installed:
-- No further actions are needed.
-
-If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_18.12 installed:
-- Really?
-
-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 http://slackware.nl/alien-kde/ (its rsync URI
-is rsync://slackware.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/), you could choose the alternative
-mirror http://slackware.uk/people/alien-kde/ (its rsync URI is
-rsync://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://slackware.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/current/latest/ latest/
-
-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://slackware.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/current/latest/ latest/
-If you want only the 32-bit packages:
-  # rsync -Hav --exclude=x86_64 rsync://slackware.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/current/latest/ latest/
-
-Assuming you just downloaded the bits you want from the directory tree "latest"
-you must now change your current directory to where you found this README
-(which is the directory called 'latest').  If you used one of the above "rsync"
-commands then you can simply do:
-
-  # cd latest
-
-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/kde/*/*.t?z
-
-  On Slackware 64-bit:
-  # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86_64/deps/*.t?z
-  # upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new x86_64/kde/*/*.t?z
-
-NOTE:
-  If you installed the slackpkg+ extension and configured a 'ktown' repository
-  with the label 'ktown' then the commands to upgrade would become:
-    # slackpkg update
-    # slackpkg install ktown
-    # slackpkg upgrade-all
-  The first command fetches the repository metadata from the remote server(s);
-  The second command installs any new package that was added to the repository;
-  And the third command will upgrade all installed packages, including the
-  'ktown' packages, to their latest versions in the repositories.
-
-Finally:
-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 this is the first time you run Plasma5, be aware that Baloo will
-tax your CPU fairly heavily for a while as it indexes the content of
-the files on your hard disk. After this initial indexing operation finishes,
-Ballo will get out of your way and stay there.
-
-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://slackware.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/source/latest/ latest/
-
-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 hopefully (have not tested the scripts
-'updates.SlackBuild' and 'alldeps.SlackBuild' in a long time) as easy as this:
-  # cd latest/deps
-  # ./updates.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 latest/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.
