Plasma 5 -has mostly gotten rid of its Qt4 legacy. - -What is the NEWS in this batch of updates: -- I moved to Qt version 5.9.0. This is supposed to be a LTS release - (Long Term Support). -- As a result of the qt5 upgrade, lots of other packages in the 'deps' section - were recompiled (grantlee phonon polkit-qt5-1 qca-qt5 qt-gstreamer qtav) - or upgraded (OpenAL PyQt5 libdbusmenu-qt5 poppler qt5-webkit wayland). -- Plasma was updated to 5.10.2 bugfix release, see - https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.10.2.php . And if you want to - know more about what's new in Plasma 5.10, read it on - https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.10.0.php - I compiled plasma-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. -- Frameworks 5.35.0 is a maintenance release, see - https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.35.0.php -- Applications 17.04.2 is a bugfix update for KDE Applications 17.04. - See https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-17.04.2.php . -- In applications-extra the following packages were upgraded: digikam, - krita, kpmcore, partitionmanager. Calligra was recompiled against the - new gsl, marble and qt5 libraries. - -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: 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, cfitsio, dvdauthor, frei0r-plugins, grantlee-qt4, - hack-font-ttf, json-glib, lensfun, libappindicator, libdbusmenu-gtk, - libdbusmenu-qt5, libdmtx, libindicator, libinput, libwacom, libxkbcommon, - lmdb, mlt, ninja, noto-font-ttf, noto-cjk-font-ttf, opencv, polkit-qt5-1, - qca-qt5, qrencode, qt-gstreamer, qt5, qt5-webkit, 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 - Qt4 as well as Qt5. - 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, 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 Skype 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). - -Alternativly, 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_17.05_02 installed: -- No further actions are needed. - -If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_17.05 installed: -- No further actions are needed. - -If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_17.04 installed: -- No further actions are needed. - -If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_17.03 installed: -- Upgrade to KDE 5_17.04 - Remove the packages that no longer exist in KDE 5_17.04: - * removepkg kajongg - * removepkg kommander - * removepkg pim-storage-service-manager - -If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_17.02 installed: -- No further actions are needed. - -If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_17.01 installed: -- No further actions are needed. - -If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.12 installed: -- Upgrade to KDE 5_17.01 - If you are running Slackware-current, manually install or upgrade libinput - and libwacom to the Slackware versions. - Remove the packages that no longer exist in KDE 5_17.01: - * removepkg kactivities - * removepkg nepomuk - * removepkg nepomuk-widgets - * removepkg gpgmepp - * removepkg kdgantt2 - * removepkg kde-baseapps kdepim kdewebdev - -If you have my 'ktown' set of KDE 5_16.11 installed: -- 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 master host alien.slackbook.org/alien/ktown/ -but that will probably be a lot slower for some of you. - -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!

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 - - 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 -av 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. - -============================================================================== - Eric Hameleers / alien at slackware dot com / 25-jun-2017 |
