[arch-dev-public] [kde-unstable] 4.13

[Andrea Scarpino]

Hi all,
it's again time for a new major release of KDE.

The first beta of the 4.13 series has been released[1].
As usual, you find the packages in the [kde-unstable] repo, which only 
contains beta/rc releases.
Read install instruction from here[2].

*NOTE*: It requires [testing] enabled.

The following packages have been added:
* kfilemetadata
* baloo
* baloo-widgets
* kdeedu-artikulate
* kqtquickcharts

KDE is migrating from Nepomuk to Baloo. Dolphin, KDEPIM and Gwenview have 
already been ported to Baloo, but KActivities is not (and maybe never will be 
ported in any 4.x release) so I disabled Nepomuk support for it.
This way you can run a basic KDE desktop without Nepomuk. Anyway Amarok, KDE-
Telepathy, Digikam and more still use Nepomuk, but future releases will not. 
You can take a look to the this list[3].
Nepomuk and Baloo can co-exists, but this is advise against and you've to 
manually disable Nepomuk.

Please report any packaging bug to our bug tracker.

KDE bugs go in the upstream bug tracker.
Have a nice update and testing!

Watch the list of known issues[4].

On a second thought, is more easier to just disable Nepomuk for everyone:

* KGet and Plasma-Addons 4.13 have been rebuilt without Nepomuk support.
* I already rebuilt Rekonq in [community] so it does not depends on nepomuk-
core anymore.
* Amarok and Tellico loads Nepomuk at runtime, so basically their plugin will 
not be available or simply will not work.
* I'm going to provide KDE-Telepathy beta packages in [kde-unstable].

After this, you can remove soprano, virtuoso-base, nepomuk-core and nepomuk-
widgets.
