Plasma 5 +has mostly gotten rid of its Qt4 legacy. + +What is the NEWS in this batch of updates: +- The 'deps' section has some interesting updates this time. Two upgraded + packages: phonon-vlc and qca-qt5. Also six new ones to support digikam + and kdenlive: lensfun, opencv, frei0r-plugins, vid.stab, dvdauthor and mlt. + You may already have one or more of these installed from SBo, so make sure + to upgrade to mine to prevent breakage in digikam and kdenlive. Notably, + the SBo version of 'frei0r-plugins' package is called 'frei0r'. +- Frameworks 5.32.0 is an enhancement release, nothing exciting. + See +- Plasma 5.9.3 is yet another iteration of the 5.9 series with small fixes only. + See . +- Applications 16.12.3 is an incremental fix-release in the 16.12 series. + See . + This time I have built the 'libkface' and 'kdenlive' packages now that + their dependencies have been fulfilled. +- Applications-extra contains two new packages: digikam and krusader. + I have also added a beta release of k3b (now finally a KF5 port) + which will see its first new official release as part of Applications + 17.04. And finally, I upgraded the kdevelop related packages. +- In plasma-extra I rebuilt the sddm-qt5 package, enabling the dutch + translation and making sure that SDDM picks up your $LANG settings. + +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. + * freerdp: access RDP servers through krdc. + 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, 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, 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 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, 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 k3b, calligra, krita, ktorrent, + partitionmanager, skanlite and the KDE Development Suite can be found + in kde/applications-extra . + Finally, kjots (previously contained in KDEPIM) and kuser 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 + * oxygen-gtk2 + +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 kdepimlibs + # 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_17.02 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 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 +you could choose the master host +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! 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 -av rsync:// 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 (note that +there is a dot at the end of these commands!). + +If you want only the 64-bit packages: + # rsync -av --exclude=x86 rsync:// 5/ +If you want only the 32-bit packages: + # rsync -av --exclude=x86_64 rsync:// 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 + + 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:// 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 / 18-mar-2017 -- cgit v1.2.3
