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.
To me, the critical app is konsole, but others are important too. My
quest is about the Desktop. Does it include a settings app and panels?
I see that there is a SystemSettings-5.0.0 and KMenuEdit-5.0.0, but can
you give some feel for how mature these are.
Yes. It's almost the same desktop as KDE 4 is. See the announcement and
check out the 2nd video embedded on that page.

I like the clean look.
From that view, it looks like it has at least the function of several
of the window managers in the book. We may want to include KDE5 sooner
rather than later. I'm not sure if we can get it into the next version
of BLFS though. We will go into a package freeze in about a month with
a release around September 1st.
