From b56552bc0f4dd0b68456634432c9fb36c2b73013 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Hameleers Date: Thu, 8 Dec 2016 21:32:15 +0100 Subject: Post-release I updated the PKGLIST and the README for 5_16.11. --- README.5_16.08 | 259 --------------------------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 259 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 README.5_16.08 (limited to 'README.5_16.08') diff --git a/README.5_16.08 b/README.5_16.08 deleted file mode 100644 index 4205956..0000000 --- a/README.5_16.08 +++ /dev/null @@ -1,259 +0,0 @@ - - -NOTE: - -compile a new kdeconnect - - - -KDE5 -==== - -Here is KDE 5_16.08 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.25.0, -Plasma 5.7.4 and Applications 16.08.0 on top of Qt 5.7.0. - -Upgrading from the previous 5_16.07 should be straight-forward. -KDE-5_16.08 is meant to be installed on top of Slackware 14.2 or -current. -It will *replace* any version of KDE 4 you might have installed! - -What is the NEWS in this batch of updates: -- Frameworks 5.25.0 is an enhancement release. The build order of these - packages has changed a bit as some packages moved to different Tiers. - See https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.25.0.php -- Plasma 5.7.4 is an incremental bug fix release for the 5.7 series. - See https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.7.4.php -- Applications 16.08.0 is the quarterly major upgrade. Kolourpaint and - Cervisia were finally ported to KDE Frameworks 5 (KF5). - The kdepimlibs tarball of the Kontakt Suite (PDEPIM) has been split - into akonadi-contacts, akonadi-mime and akonadi-notes. - Apart from kdepimlibs, several other packages have been removed: - kdegraphics-strigi-analyzer, kdenetwork-strigi-analyzers, - kdesdk-strigi-analyzers, libkdeedu and mplayerthumbs. - See https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-16.08.0.php . -- Several Qt5 related 'deps' have again been recompiled or upgraded because - of the upgrade of Qt5 to 5.7.0: sni-qt, qca-qt5, qt-gstreamer, phonon, - PyQt5, polkit-qt5-1, grantlee, poppler and libdbusmenu-qt5. -- A new font package 'hack-font-ttf' package was added to 'deps' - as - required by KDE. This is a monospaced TrueType font, primarily meant - for writing code. -- Several KF5 ports of 'extragear' packages were added to the - 'applications-extra' directory: a new version of KDE Partition Manager - (kpmcore, partitionmanager) and the all new KDEvelop (kdevplatform, - kdevelop-pg-qt, kdevelop and kdev-php). Note that the python plugin for - kdevelop can not be built because it requires python3 which we do not have - in Slackware. - -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. - * python-twisted - required by kajongg to start & run. - * sshfs-fuse: required by kdeconnect to browse remote storage - on Android devices. - * freerdp: access RDP servers through krdc. - All of these can be found in my regular package repository. -- kde/kde4-extragear packages should be taken from slackware 14.2 or -current - (calligra, k3b, kaudiocreator, kplayer, kwebkitpart, oxygen-gtk2). -- 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, grantlee-qt4, json-glib, libappindicator, - libdbusmenu-gtk, libdbusmenu-qt5, libindicator, libinput, libxkbcommon, - lmdb, hack-font-ttf, ninja, noto-font-ttf, noto-cjk-font-ttf, polkit-qt5-1, - qca-qt5, qt-gstreamer, qt5, qt5-webkit, sni-qt and wayland. - The phonon package was extended so that it now supports both Qt4 and Qt5. -- 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, - telepathy-glib, telepathy-farstream, telepathy-haze, telepathy-gabble, - 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 . -- Also worth mentioning: the KF5 ports of ktorrent and skanlite can be found - in the applications-extra directory. And kjots, previously contained in - KDEPIM, is separated into its own package in the kde/applications directory. - -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, some of these are essential to the proper functioning of KDE! - If you excluded the complete Slackware 'KDE' series, then you - can optionally install these Slackware packages as well: - * amarok - * calligra - * k3b - * kaudiocreator - * kplayer - * kwebkitpart - * oxygen-gtk2 - -NOTE: -If you had installed KDE 4 previously as your default desktop, 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 !

Compiling and installing these -dependencies on Slackware-current is as easy as: - # cd 5/deps - # ./updates.SlackBuild - # cd - - -Be prepared to wait a *long* time since this will compile a new Qt5 package -among others. The finished package will be stored in /tmp . - -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 ! - -============================================================================== - Eric Hameleers / alien at slackware dot com / 31-aug-2016 -- cgit v1.2.3
