I want to give a heads up to some relatively large changes I intend to
make to the KDE section of the book.
I've prototyped KDE Frameworks 5 (KF5) and Plasma 5. I do not think
Plasma 5 is quite ready, but I want to add KF5 to the book. This is a
bit tricky because there are some common packages outside of KDE that
can be built different ways.
My proposed new organization is:
KDE
Introduction
Prerequsite Packages
extra-cmake-modules
Phonon-4.8.3
Phonon-Backend-GStreamer-4.8.2
Phonon-Backend-VLC-0.8.2
Polkit-Qt-0.112.0
KDE4 Core
KDE4 Pre-installation Configuration
...
KDE4 Additional Packages
KDE Frameworks 5
KDE Frameworks 5 Based Applications
[ KDE Plasma ]
We can add Plasma when it is ready, but the Phonon and Polkit packages
can be built against Qt4 or Qt5. It really doesn't matter if they are
used as a part of KDE4 or KF5, but packages that use these will pull in
some additional libraries at run time under some circumstances.
To make things consistent, I will change the install directory for
Phonon and Polkit-Qt to /usr.
Although I've prototyped KF5, I have not yet tried to mix it with KDE4
so I still need to test the proposed organization. I suspect I'll be
able to commit this to the book sometime next week.
If you have any questions or concerns about the proposed change, please
let me know.
