Hello again, Nix community, I am pleased to announce that KDE 5 is available in the nixos-unstable channel. Specifically, we have stable versions of KDE Frameworks 5.5, Plasma 5.1.2, and KDE Applications 14.12.1. (We also have testing versions of Frameworks 5.6 and Plasma 5.2; more on that below.)
To enable KDE 5 in NixOS, simply set: services.xserver.desktopManager.kde5.enable = true; in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix. I do not recommend installing KDE 4 and KDE 5 at the same time because some important files have the same name. However, it is safe to switch back and forth between versions. The latest KDE Applications will be available from pkgs.kdeApps_latest; as new versions become available, we will retain the last stable version as pkgs.kdeApps_stable. More details are available on the NixOS wiki [1], including how you can help test Plasma 5.2. -- Thomas Tuegel [1] https://nixos.org/wiki/KDE#How_to_install_KDE_5 _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
