Hello everyone, While Christopher was busy with GNOME 3 work, I took some free time today to update my earlier work on bringing KDE Frameworks 5 and KDE Plasma 5 into BLFS.
I am pround to say that I believe everything should be in place to get a fully working KDE Plasma 5 desktop. Work is available on a new location, rebased onto BLFS svn from few hours ago: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~krejzi/kde5/kde5/kde5.html For now, all my work is kept in "kde5" branch of BLFS repository and I don't expect merging it anytime soon (if ever). This first release, 5.0.0 only targets Frameworks (lower level libraries) and Plasma Workspace (the Desktop). There are no released applications at the moment that use KDE Frameworks 5 or Qt5. Some applications, such as Kate, Konsole and Dolphin are in process of porting and are only available from git. Others are either in early stages or haven't started porting at all. KDE team announced plans for KDE Applications 14.12, which should happen in December this year and will hopefully bring KF5 based apps. I don't believe that KDE 5 will be merged before that, given that it's wanted. If anyone gets the idea to try it and stumble upon some issues, feel free to mail me any feedback. For now, I keep a repackaged version of Ubuntu's libdbusmenu-qt on my personal web space because ubuntu's versioning seemed rather insane to me. Nothing else was modified besides unpacking and creating a new, properly named tarball from it. Polkit-Qt is now from upstream because they have finally managed to release a working version. Do note that kauth is broken (upstream is aware) since it isn't fully integrated with polkit-qt and there is no Qt5/KF5 port of polkit-kde-agent-1. The patch for kdelibs4support is also hosted on my place because standard location couldn't be used since the package isn't part of main book. Patch is the same as in LFS Patches repository. (This message isn't signed since I have yet to get GNOME Keyring and gpg working in KDE Plasma 5). -- Note: My last name is not Krejzi. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
