ANNOUNCEMENT
Plasma5 finally landed in the core of Slackware-current distro.
Therefore all packages in the 'ktown' repository for -current have been
removed, with the exception of phonon-vlc. I expect to revive 'ktown'
once Slackware-current moves to a stable release and updates will become
less frequent. Plasma6 based on Qt6 (released today) perhaps? Who knows!
In the meantime, enjoy Plasma5 as being part of Slackware!

+--------------------------+

for the new kpmcore.

vulnerability in kpmcore (CVE-2020-27187).

in Plasma5 was broken, resulting in missing shutdown/reboot menu items
and a broken ktorrent (and maybe more).

Here is KDE 5_20.08 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.72.0,

The 32bit versions of the packages that had to be rebuilt due to the icu4c
update in -current have been added as well:
PyQt5, QScintilla, gpgme, hyphen, sip, qt5, qt5-webkit.
And the patched kio of course.
current/deps/sip: rebuilt to add the missing sip.so module for PyQt4.
current/deps/QScintilla: rebuilt against sip to re-add PyQT4 python bindings.

+--------------------------+
Mon Oct 22 15:42:56 UTC 2018
Several packages were rebuilt or updated.
Recompiled due to the icu4c update in -current:
- qt5 (also fixed the broken H.264 support)
- qt5-webkit (updated to a fork because the old official 5.9.1 release won't
compile against Qt 5.11)
- sip
- PyQt5
Two packages were updated to match their versions in -current:
- gpgme
- QScintilla
And a new package had to be added as a dependency of the new qt5-webkit:
- hyphen
The 'kio' package in Frameworks was recompiled after applying a patch.
Only the 64bit packages for now due to time constraints. The 32bit packages
will follow soon-ish.

With this release, the KDE 5_18.07 'testing' and 'latest' repositories are
identical. After conferring with Pat Volkerding, we decided to drop the
idea of sticking to KDE LTS (Long Term Support) releases and instead keep
focusing on the latest developments. The 'testing' repository may in future
again be used for Wayland usability tests. Therefore it is wise to switch
back your package manager (eg. slackpkg+) to use the 'latest' repository URL.

+--------------------------+
Tue Jul 3 09:13:43 UTC 2018

These are non-LTS (Long Term Support) releases. I want to keep the LTS
releases for Qt (5.9) and Plasma (5.12) in my 'latest' repository for as
long as possible so that Slackware can adopt a long-lived Desktop
Environment. Note that Qt 5.11 may cause incompatibilities with
applications that have a direct Qt dependency

Wed Apr 4 11:21:07 UTC 2018
More recompilation was needed after icu4c update in slackware-current.
Rebuilt for -current is:
deps/telepathy:telepathy-mission-control
Since I had the VM up & running anyway I also updated:
applications:konsole (patched to change the $TERM to 'konsole')
applications-extra:digikan,krita,skanlite (version upgrades)

+--------------------------+
Sun Apr 1 20:15:34 UTC 2018

Plasma 5.11.4 and Applications 17.12.0. All this on top of Qt 5.9.3.

Upgrading from the previous 5_17.04 is straight-forward. Please read
the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade
instructions!
Use only the current "latest" repository and not "testing" which I emptied:

+--------------------------+
Wed Apr 12 21:57:24 UTC 2017
Due to shared library bumps in -current, there have been some recompilations
for the Plasma 5 package set:
- deps: recompiled opencv, qt5
- kde4: recompiled kdelibs
- applications: recompiled libkdcraw, kopete, krdc, kstars, gwenview
- applications-extra: recompiled digikam, compiled newer calligra and krita

+--------------------------+
Thu Mar 23 20:06:20 UTC 2017
deps/libburn: added because the new k3b requires this instead of Slackware's
cdrtools.

+--------------------------+
Tue Mar 21 21:55:40 UTC 2017
kde/plasma: added user-manager (and its new deps cracklib, libpwquality,
accountsservice)

+--------------------------+
Mon Mar 20 22:21:12 UTC 2017
14.2/latest/x86_64 : I added the KDE 5_17.03 packages for Slackware 14.2 64bit.

moment, I will not be offering new packages for Slackware 14.2.
Upgrading from the previous 5_17.02 is straight-forward. Please read
the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade
instructions!
Use only the current "latest" repository and not "testing" which I emptied:
http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/current/latest/

+--------------------------+
Sat Feb 18 18:32:32 UTC 2017

Tue Feb 14 13:23:11 UTC 2017
Removed the repositories for Slackware 13.37 and 14.1 to conserve diskspace
on my internet-facing server.

+--------------------------+
Mon Jan 30 21:44:50 UTC 2017
current/latest/kde/applications-extra/calligra: rebuilt against the newer
poppler (64bit only, because 32bit is fine).

+--------------------------+
Sun Jan 29 23:17:55 UTC 2017
Good feedback was received from my Slackware friends visiting the blog.
As a result of the discussion there, it seemed prudent to recompile the
following packages on Slackware-current:
deps/poppler (updated to match the version in Slackware-current)
applications/okular
frameworks/kfilemetadata5 (both because of the bump in poppler version)
deps/sip
deps/PyQt
kde4/pykde4 (all three because of the changes in slackware-current's python)
kde4/korundum
kde4/qtruby (these two because of the ruby update in -current)
frameworks/sonnet (because of hunspell update in -current)
kdepim/akonadi (to get rid of the hardcoded stdlib path in a header,
containing the gcc version number in the path)
Also, I have uploaded the packages for 32bit Slackware-current. Note that
there will not be Plasma5 updates for 32bit Slackware 14.2 any longer.

+--------------------------+
Thu Jan 26 22:24:44 UTC 2017
Here is KDE 5_17.01 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.30.0,
Plasma 5.8.5 and Applications 16.12.1 on top of Qt 5.7.1.
KDE-5_17.01 is meant to be installed on top of Slackware 14.2 or -current.
It will *replace* any version of KDE 4 you might have installed!
Upgrading from the previous 5_16.12 needs a bit of tender care & loving this
time. In particular, the new quarterly release of the Applications brings
a lot of change. Many packages have been added, but also many packages are
no longer part of the 'ktown' repository.
Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and
upgrade instructions!
Use only the "latest" repositories and not "testing" which is out of date:
https://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/14.2/latest/
or:
https://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/current/latest/

+--------------------------+
Fri Dec 9 21:03:28 UTC 2016
Here is KDE 5_16.12 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.28.0,
Plasma 5.8.4 and Applications 16.08.3 on top of Qt 5.7.0.
I wanted to have the last 16.08.x release of KDE Applications available in
my repository before the new 16.12.x releases start coming. There are
some big changes in Applications 16.12 for which I need to time to review,
plan and build packages. Therefore you will probably not see packages
for Applications 16.12.0 in 2016.
The upgrade from the previous KDE 5_16.11 should be smooth.
Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and
upgrade instructions!

upgrade instructions!
Also note that the 'ktown' repository has a new "current/testing" branch
which contains packages (64bit only!) for testing the Wayland support
in Plasma 5 for Slackware. If you are interested in my regular 'ktown'
packages then please use only the "latest" repositories and not "testing":
https://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/14.2/latest/
or:
https://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/current/latest/

+--------------------------+
Sat Jul 23 19:28:29 UTC 2016

baloo5 package (the probable cause of the broken search in krunner).
14.2/latest/kde/kde4/frameworks/: recompiled kfilemetadata5 in order to pick
up popper's Qt5 support, and them recompiled baloo5 for good measure.

+--------------------------+

14.2/latest/kde/plasma: rebuilt the following packages (64bit only) which
still had dependencies on the now removed Wayland support in qt5, mesa and
xorg-server: breeze, kwayland-integration, plasma-integration, kinfocenter,
kscreenlocker, kwin, libkscreen2, plasma-workspace and powerdevil.

+--------------------------+
Wed Jul 6 21:40:21 UTC 2016
current/testing/deps: (64bit only) removed mesa, elogind and xorg-server
packages that were intended for a new testing repository targeting wayland
support. They were not meant to be published already. Please re-install
Slackware's version of mesa and xorg-server and check your Nvidia binary
blob if you use that.

+--------------------------+
Wed Jul 6 12:07:03 UTC 2016

The remainining 32bit packages have noew been recompiled (qt5, step,
akonadi4, akonadi, akonadi-search, akonadi-calendar, kdepimlibs, sddm-qt5)
and everything should be working again. Tell me if some package still

+--------------------------+
Sat Nov 21 23:58:50 UTC 2015
Packages that were recompiled as a result of the 'Fri Nov 20 05:25:18 UTC 2015'

It contains KDE Frameworks 5.15.0, Plasma 5.4.2 and Applications 15.08.2.
Upgrading from the previous KDE-5_15.09_02 should be straight-forward.
KDE-5_15.10 is meant only to be installed on top of Slackware -current and
it will *replace* any version of KDE 4 you might have installed!
What is NEW:
- a rebuilt sddm-qt5 package which fixes the broken progress bar on startup
of the Plasma Desktop session.
- a new package 'xembed-sni-proxy' which docks into the Plasma 5 system
tray provides a legacy XEmbed tray for those applications that need it.
- a full set of KDE Telepathy packages (14 new packages) along with their
dependencies (18 new packages).
Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and
upgrade instructions!

+--------------------------+
Sat Sep 19 12:24:59 UTC 2015

current/testing/deps/grantlee-qt4: added because KDEvelop still needs this.
current/testing/kde/kde4/oktetapart4: added to provide HEX editor integration
for the still KDE4-based KDEvelop.

+--------------------------+
Mon Sep 14 21:29:39 UTC 2015
Here is a second September release of KDE 5 for Slackware-current.
KDE 5_15.09_02 consists of the KDE Frameworks 5.14.0, Plasma 5.4.1
and Applications 15.08.1.
Two changes in the "deps" section: LoginKit was removed (it caused a
minute-long delay in logging out and is useless at this point);
and a recompiled version of libproxy was added (removed KDE 4 support).
Upgrading from the previous KDE 5_15.09 should be an easy ride.
Note:
KDE-5_15.09_02 is meant only to be installed on top of Slackware -current
and it will *replace* any version of KDE 4 you might have installed!
Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and
upgrade instructions!

+--------------------------+
Wed Sep 2 12:25:00 UTC 2015
current/latest/deps/phonon-vlc: rebuilt against vlc 2.2.1 on uptodate -current.

+--------------------------+
Wed Jul 8 13:03:01 UTC 2015
This is KDE 5_15.07 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.12.0,
Plasma 5.3.2 and Applications 15.04.3.
Compared to my KDE 5_15.06 no further changes were made apart from
the updates to Frameworks, Plasma and Applications.
Note:
This is meant only to be installed on top of Slackware -current and it will
*replace* any version of KDE 4 you might have installed!
Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and
upgrade instructions!

+--------------------------+
Sat Jun 13 21:55:27 UTC 2015
14.1/4.14.3/deps/qt: removed my qt-4.8.6 package (containing some KDE related
patches) because now Slackware 14.1 has qt-4.8.7 with those same patches in
its official repository. I encourage you to upgrade to that version.

+--------------------------+
Mon Jun 01 19:49:40 UTC 2015
This is KDE 5_15.06 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.10.0,
Plasma 5.3.1 and Applications 15.04.2. Compared to my KDE 5_15.05 the only
updates are the new set of Applications packages. This includes LTS
(Long Term Support) updates for kdelibs, kdepimlibs, kdepim, kdepim-runtime
and kde-workspace.
One package is new:
- kde4-extragear/kdeconnect4 contains the essentials of the KDE4 based
kdeconnect-kde which will allow you to access your Android device with the
(also still KDE4 based) Dolphin. This package therefore fixes the errors
you would get if you tried to access your Android device in Plasma 5.
One package has been modified:
- kde4/kactivities, the KDE4 based version, no longer contains the
kactivitymanagerd binary.
The same daemon in the kactivities-framework works fine with the KDE4 based
activities libraries. When installing all my KDE5 packages in one massive
upgrade, the kactivities package would get installed after the
kactivities-framework package and the KDE4 based kactivitymanagerd would
overwrite the Frameworks version, causing serious desktop crashes.
Note:
This is meant only to be installed on top of Slackware -current and it will
*replace* any version of KDE4 you might have installed!
Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and
upgrade instructions!

+--------------------------+

Here is KDE 5_15.05 for Slackware. This is mostly a maintenance release
for all components; there's no new packages or functionality.
This is meant only to be installed on top of Slackware -current and it will
*replace* any version of KDE 4 you migh thave installed!
New & changed since the previous KDE 5_15.04 release:
- kde/frameworks packages were updated to 5.10.0. No new Frameworks this time.
See also https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.10.0.php
- kde/plasma packages were updated to 5.3.1. This is a maintenance release,
see also https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.3.1.php
- kde/applications packages were updated to 15.04.1. This is a bugfix release,
see also https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-15.04.1.php
- kde/kde4, new LTS (Long Term Support) versions of kdelibs, kdepim*
- deps directory: I have removed qt-gstreamer0 because I do not think any
package uses it. Slackware has moved to gstreamer-1 and furthermore, the
contents of qt-gstreamer and qt-gstreamer0 paackages had a partial overlap
in their files. Be sure to re-install qt-gstreamer just in case.
- I fixed the missing shutdown/reboot and suspend/hibernate options in the
menu by adding several Polkit policy files to the powerdevil package.
Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and
upgrade instructions!

Wed Apr 29 21:14:01 UTC 2015
Updates to both the "latest" and "testing" repositories for slackware-current!
current/latest/ : KDE 4.14.3 packages have all been removed - all but one:
the phonon-vlc package is still available and has been recompiled against
vlc-2.2.1. The rest of KDE 4.14.3 plus dependencies is now an official part
of Slackware-current since 21-april-2015.
current/testing/ : Here you will find the all-new KDE 5_15.04 for
slackware-current, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.9.0, Plasma 5.3.0
and Applications 15.04.0. This is meant only to be installed on top of
the latest Slackware-current and it will *replace* any version of KDE 4
you might have installed!
- Note that I did not compile the new Plasma Mediacenter tech-preview, the new
KDEnlive and KDE Telepathy. They need a lot of attention before I can build
them and it was more important to me to have a new release of KDE 5 out
as fast as possible, that works with the latest slackware-current.
- kde/kde4-extragear is completely emptied - you should use the packages
from slackware-current (calligra, k3b, kaudiocreator, kplayer, kwebkitpart,
oxygen-gtk2, oxygen-gtk3, kdevplatform, kdevelop-pg-qt, kdevelop,
kdev-python, kdevelop-php, kdevelop-php-docs, skanlite, kio-mtp,
libktorrent, ktorrent, partitionmanager). Report any breakage!
- deps directory has three new packages (PyQt5, cfitsio, grantlee-qt5);
updates for PyQt, qt5 and sip; and the rest has been recompiled just to be
sure they are compatible with slackware-current.
Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and
upgrade instructions! Especially important after the recent mass-update
in slackware-current.

+--------------------------+
Tue Apr 7 09:29:53 UTC 2015
This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.14.3 for Slackware 14.1. yes, 14.1!
This release includes the latest version of the Plasma Workspaces, 4.11.17,
as well as other Long Term Support (LTS) updates: kdelibs and kdepim 4.14.6.
The set of packages includes the most recent versions of the Calligra
office suite (2.9.1) and Kdevelop (4.7.1) packages.
There were some other noteworthy updates (k3b, partitionmanager) and
additions (kdeconnect-kde, plasma-nm) in the 'extragear' department.
I added a phonon-vlc package, which of course will only work if you also
install my vlc package - some people prefer the vlc backend for phonon to
the gstreamer or the ancient mplayer backend.
All this means that compared to Slackware 14.1's KDE several dependencies
were updated and added.
Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and
upgrade instructions!

+--------------------------+
Mon Mar 30 06:13:49 UTC 2015
Time to give KDE 4.14.3 some attention. I have updated several packages
with Long Term Support (LTS) versions taken from Applications 14.12.3 and
also updated the Calligra office suite.
For that reason, I also had to refresh some of the 'deps'.
current/4.14.3/deps/grantlee: updated to 0.5.1.
current/4.14.3/deps/libodfgen: added 0.1.3 (dependency for libwpd).
current/4.14.3/deps/librevenge: added 0.0.2 (dependency for libwpd).
current/4.14.3/deps/libssh: updated to 0.6.4.
current/4.14.3/deps/libwpd: updated to 0.10.0.
current/4.14.3/kde/calligra: updated to 2.9.1.
current/4.14.3/kde/kde-workspace: updated to 4.11.17 LTS (Long Term Support).
current/4.14.3/kde/kdelibs: updated to 4.14.6 LTS.
current/4.14.3/kde/kdepim: updated to 4.14.6 LTS.

Here is KDE 5_15.09 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.13.0,
Plasma 5.4.0 and Applications 15.08.0.
This is an intrusive update if you currently have my KDE 5_15.07 packages
installed. Consider this to be beta-quality because there may be some
usability issues - read the "BUILD NOTES" section inside the README very
carefully before you decide to upgrade.
I need testers to iron out some annoying regressions.
Note:
KDE-5_15.09 is meant only to be installed on top of Slackware -current and
it will *replace* any version of KDE 4 you might have installed!
Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and
upgrade instructions!

+--------------------------+
Wed Sep 2 12:25:00 UTC 2015
current/latest/deps/phonon-vlc: rebuilt against vlc 2.2.1 on uptodate -current.

+--------------------------+
Wed Jul 8 13:03:01 UTC 2015
This is KDE 5_15.07 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.12.0,
Plasma 5.3.2 and Applications 15.04.3.
Compared to my KDE 5_15.06 no further changes were made apart from
the updates to Frameworks, Plasma and Applications.
Note:
This is meant only to be installed on top of Slackware -current and it will
*replace* any version of KDE 4 you might have installed!
Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and
upgrade instructions!

+--------------------------+
Sat Jun 13 21:55:27 UTC 2015
14.1/4.14.3/deps/qt: removed my qt-4.8.6 package (containing some KDE related
patches) because now Slackware 14.1 has qt-4.8.7 with those same patches in
its official repository. I encourage you to upgrade to that version.

+--------------------------+
Mon Jun 01 19:49:40 UTC 2015
This is KDE 5_15.06 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.10.0,
Plasma 5.3.1 and Applications 15.04.2. Compared to my KDE 5_15.05 the only
updates are the new set of Applications packages. This includes LTS
(Long Term Support) updates for kdelibs, kdepimlibs, kdepim, kdepim-runtime
and kde-workspace.
One package is new:
- kde4-extragear/kdeconnect4 contains the essentials of the KDE4 based
kdeconnect-kde which will allow you to access your Android device with the
(also still KDE4 based) Dolphin. This package therefore fixes the errors
you would get if you tried to access your Android device in Plasma 5.
One package has been modified:
- kde4/kactivities, the KDE4 based version, no longer contains the
kactivitymanagerd binary.
The same daemon in the kactivities-framework works fine with the KDE4 based
activities libraries. When installing all my KDE5 packages in one massive
upgrade, the kactivities package would get installed after the
kactivities-framework package and the KDE4 based kactivitymanagerd would
overwrite the Frameworks version, causing serious desktop crashes.
Note:
This is meant only to be installed on top of Slackware -current and it will
*replace* any version of KDE4 you might have installed!
Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and
upgrade instructions!

current/5/kde/kde4/calligra: rebuilt the 64-bit package against the newer
exiv2 package (fixes error while loading shared libraries: libexiv2.so.12).

+--------------------------+
Tue Jan 27 22:34:18 UTC 2015
This is KDE 5 for Slackware.
It consists of Frameworks 5.6.0, Plasma 5.2.0 and Applications 14.12.1.
This is meant only to be installed on top of Slackware -current and it will
*replace* any version of KDE 4 you migh thave installed!

Plasma 5 is the next generation of KDE's desktop workspace.
Plasma 5 improves support for high-DPI displays and comes with a "converged
shell", i.e. one Plasma codebase for different target devices. Plasma 5 uses
a new fully hardware-accelerated OpenGL(ES) graphics stack. Plasma 5 is built
using Qt 5 and Frameworks 5.
And with the Breeze themed artwork and its own Oxygen font, this desktop looks
clean and modern.

Further points of interest:
- Lots of packages in the 'deps' department which are completely new to
Slackware. Since KDE 5 is built on Qt5 (KDE 4 had Qt4 as its base) you'll
find many Qt5 related packages. Also, in ordet for Qt4 and GTK based
applications to dock into the Plasma 5 system tray, more dependencies were
needed. So, apart from updates to regular Slackware packages, these are the
new ones:
LibRaw, OpenAL, akonadi-qt5, eigen3, gst1-plugins-base, gst1-plugins-good,
gstreamer1, json-glib, libappindicator, libdbusmenu-gtk, libdbusmenu-qt5,
libepoxy, libfakekey, libindicator, orc, polkit-qt5-1, qca-qt5,
qt-gstreamer, qt-gstreamer1, qt5, sni-qt, wayland and xapian-core.
- Note for users of multilib Slackware64 and also using Skyoe: you will have
to grab the 32-bit version of sni-qt and run convertpkg-compat32'' on it,
or else Skype won't be able to dock its icon in the systray.
- A bit sneakily, I built phonon-vlc for you. You will also need a VLC
package to be able to use this package though.
- I added the latest Calligra 2.8.7 office suite.
- Even though I compile a 'kde-workspace' package as part of the whole set,
I do not ship that package. It conflicts with the new plasma-workspace
package.
- Several source tarballs in Plasma 5.2.0 have not been compiled to Slackware
packages: libbluedevil and bluedevil (they need BlueZ 5 which is not part of
Slackware), muon (a debian/ubuntu package manager), libkface (needs opencv
which I was not willing to add as a dependency).
- One dependency which you'll probably find curious, is wayland. It is
required in order to *compile* KWin's X11 driver, but it is apparently
not needed at *runtime*. Nevertheless, I left the package in, just in case
you want or need to recompile kwin.
- Graphical login: KDM has been replaced with SDDDM.

upgrade instructions!

Tue Nov 11 23:35:57 UTC 2014
This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.14.3 for Slackware-current!
This release includes the latest version of the Plasma Workspaces, 4.11.14.
Kactivities was taken from the 4.13.3 sources because that too, is missing
from KDE 4.14.
The set of packages includes the most recent versions of the Calligra
office suite and Kdevelop packages.
There were some other noteworthy updates in the 'extragear' department:
k3b, kdeconnect-kde, plasma-nm and partitionmanager.
And I sneaked some stuff in, which may not be of interest to everyone. To
phonon, phonon-getreamer, qt-gstreamer1 I added Qt5 bindings, so that you
can use them with KDE 5. And I added a phonon-vlc package, which of course
will only work if you also install my vlc package - some people prefer the
vlc backend for phonon to the gstreamer or the ancient mplayer backend.
This means that compared to the previous KDE 4.14.2, several dependencies
were updated (phonon, phonon-gstreamer) and added (gstreamer1,
gst1-plugins-base, gst1-plugins-good, libfakekey, orc, qt-gstreamer1).
Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and
upgrade instructions!

from KDE 4.14.
This set of packages includes the recently released Calligra office suite
version 2.8.6. The Kdevelop packages were updated to their latest versions.
Compared to the previous KDE 4.14.1, no dependencies were updated.
Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and
upgrade instructions!

+--------------------------+
Tue Sep 16 20:41:10 UTC 2014
KDE5 for Slackware, has the Frameworks updated to 5.2.0. The Plasma version
was updated to 5.0.2. The dependencies are unchanged.
This is only useful if installed on top of Slackware -current and my KDE 4.14
packages (plus dependencies). KDE5 is still a work in progress and needs the
KDE4 applications, libraries and artwork.

This is a first preview for Slackware, of the KDE Frameworks 5.1.0 combined
with Plasma 5.0.1.
This is only useful if installed on top of Slackware -current and my KDE 4.13
package (plus dependencies). KDE5 is still a work in progress and needs the
KDE4 applications, libraries and artwork.
Plasma 5.0 is the next generation of KDE's desktop workspace.
Plasma 5.0 improves support for high-DPI displays and comes with a "converged

a new fully hardware-accelerated OpenGL(ES)graphics stack. Plasma 5 is built
using Qt 5 and Frameworks 5.
And with the Breeze themed artwork and its own Oxygen font, this desktop looks
clean and modern.

soprano, and three new packages have been added: eigen3, qt-gstreamer
and xapian-core.
One noteworthy addition in KDE 4.13 is baloo, which is the next generation
of the nepomuk project. It's responsible for handling user metadata such as
tags, rating and comments. It also handles indexing and searching for files,
emails, contacts, and so on.
Automatic migration from nepomuk to baloo has been added to KDE 4.13.

in dolphin. Dolphin no longer accepted URLs containing a kio-slave as
parameter (like "dolphin trash:/") and would open the Home directory instead.

+--------------------------+
Tue Nov 5 18:49:00 UTC 2013
This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.11.3 for Slackware-current (aka 14.1).

upgrade instructions!

+--------------------------+
Tue Oct 22 09:11:38 UTC 2013
current/4.11.2/kde/kdelibs: Rebuilt. Reverted three upstream commits which
(although technically correct) have the effect of causing KDE to display
the wrong icons in some cases.
You may have to clear your KDE caches to see the effect for an existing
user account.

+--------------------------+
Wed Oct 16 14:46:42 UTC 2013
current/4.11.2/kde/calligra: Rebuilt. This was not originally in my ktown
package set, but the "words" program in Slackware-current's own calligra
package was broken after the upgrade of the 'marble' package of KDE 4.11.2.

+--------------------------+
Wed Oct 16 12:17:17 UTC 2013
current/4.11.2/kde/ark: Rebuilt. The libarchive update in -current had

Qt-Quick in Plasma Workspaces, faster Nepomuk indexing, Kontact improvements,
OpenGL improvements in KWin (and a start of support for Wayland).
The upgrade from Slackware-current's own 4.10.5 will be trivial.
Only four packages outside KDE (the 'deps') need an update: akonadi, attica,
shared-desktop-ontologies and soprano.
Four KDE packages have been removed since the KDE 4.10.5 of Slackware-current:
* kdeadmin, kdetoys, kdesdk and kdenetwork have been split up into smaller
individual packages since 4.10.5.

+--------------------------+
Tue Aug 20 14:45:08 UTC 2013

Thanks for reporting your bugs with my packages on my blog. Here are the
first results of your reports:
current/kde/networkmanagement: Upgraded to 0.9.0.9 because the current version
does not work with KDE 4.11
current/kde/kwebkitpart: Rebuilt because of a report that Konqueror with
webkit engine crashed in KDE 4.11RC1 when opening gcc.gnu.org.

+--------------------------+

This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.11 RC1 (aka 4.10.95) for
Slackware-current. These packages will not work on Slackware 14.0.
Note that this is 'just' a release candidate for the upcoming KDE 4.11,
which means it will contain bugs. Please report any bugs you find, so that
KDE 4.11 will be a quality product: https://bugs.kde.org/
There are four upgraded 'deps': akonadi, attica, shared-desktop-ontologies
and soprano. I also added the new Calligra 2.7.0 to the 'kde' package set.

Now that Slackware-current has an official set of KDE 4.10.x packages,
provided by Patrick Volkerding, I am offering my own packages for
Slackware 14.0 - so that users of this stable release can enjoy the
KDE upgrade as well.
If you already have my previous KDE 4.10.4 packages installed, then
there are a few updated 'extragear' packages: libkscreen, kscreen,
oxygen-gtk2 and oxygen-gtk3.
Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and
upgrade instructions!

+--------------------------+
Sun Jun 9 22:27:34 UTC 2013

This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.10.1 for Slackware 14.0 (!).
Now that Slackware-current has an official set of KDE 4.10.1 packages,
provided by Patrick Volkerding, I have rebuilt my own KDE packages for
Slackware 14.0 so that users of this stable release can enjoy the
KDE upgrade as well. I deleted the "current/4.10.1" package directory and
added the rebuilt packages in "14.0/4.10.1".
The upgrade from Slackware 14's own 4.8.5 is trivial. I added nine
updated dependencies (PyQt, akonadi, attica, phonon-gstreamer, qt,
shared-desktop-ontologies, sip, soprano and virtuoso-ose)
and added a new one: qjson.
I updated several 'extragear' packages compared to Slackware 14: calligra,
kdevelop, kdevplatform, oxygen-gtk2, skanlite, and two are all new,
oxygen-gtk3 and kio-mtp.
If you already have my previous KDE 4.10.0 packages installed then all you
have to upgrade are the packages in the 'kde' directory.

Tue Mar 5 08:58:18 UTC 2013
This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.10.1 for Slackware current (!).
If you are running Slackware 14 then I cannot guarantee that these packages
will work, and you are probably better off compiling them from source.
The upgrade from Slackware-current's own 4.10.0 will be trivial. There
are *no* new or updated dependencies, the KDE packages are all there is.
I updated a few 'extragear' packages compared to Slackware-current:
oxygen-gtk2, oxygen-gtk3 and skanlite which finally has a 1.0 version number.
Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and
upgrade instructions!

+--------------------------+
Sat Feb 9 23:49:27 UTC 2013

* kdemultimedia has been split up into smaller individual packages since 4.9.
* ksecrets has been removed completely since the 4.9.x series.
* printer-applet has been replaced with print-manager since 4.10.x.
Note that KDE 4.10.0 requires cmake 2.8.10 - this is present in Slackware
-current but not part of Slackware 14, so you'll have to upgrade cmake there.
Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and
upgrade instructions!

Wed Jan 2 11:44:09 UTC 2013
This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.9.5 for Slackware 14 and later.

This is KDE Software Compilation 4.9.2 for Slackware 14 (and newer).
The upgrade from Slackware's own 4.8.5 will be trivial. There are five
updated dependencies (akonadi, qt, soprano, shared-desktop-ontologies
and virtuoso-ose).
Two KDE packages have been removed, compared to KDE 4.8.5: ksecrets and
kdemultimedia (the latter has in fact been split up into several smaller
individual packages).
Please read the accompanying README file for installation and upgrade
instructions!

4.9.0/deps/virtuoso-ose: the x86_64 package carried the build/tag of 'alien'
instead of '1alien'. Fixed now.

+--------------------------+
Fri Aug 3 00:26:44 UTC 2012
4.9.0/deps/virtuoso-ose: updated to 6.1.6 because of reports that this is
the best version for KDE 4.9.0.
4.9.0/kde/okular: rebuilt against the upgraded poppler-0.20.2 which appeared
in Slackware exactly for this reason. With this version of poppler, okular
is able to save annotations into PDF files.

+--------------------------+
Wed Aug 1 17:24:39 UTC 2012
This is KDE Software Compilation 4.9.0 for Slackware-14-Beta1 (and newer).
The upgrade from Slackware's own 4.8.4 will be trivial. There are three
updated dependencies (akonadi, soprano and shared-desktop-ontologies).
Two KDE packages have been removed, compared to KDE 4.8.4: ksecrets and

This is the first Release Candidate of KDE Software Compilation 4.9
for Slackware-current.
The official version number for KDE 4.9-rc1 is "4.8.95".
The upgrade from Slackware's own 4.8.4 will be trivial. There are three
updated dependencies (akonadi, soprano and shared-desktop-ontologies) of
which akonadi is new since the previous KDE 4.9-beta1.
Two KDE packages have been removed, compared to KDE 4.8.4: ksecrets and
kdemultimedia (the latter has in fact been split up into several smaller
individual packages).
Please read the accompanying README file for installation and upgrade
instructions!

+--------------------------+
Mon Jun 25 18:52:56 UTC 2012
current/4.8.90/breakfix: Added attica-0.3.0 packages which you will need
after today's update to Slackware-current. Many of the binaries in my
KDE 4.8.90 packages link against libattica.so.3 ; but unfortunately
Slackware-current's version of that library was updated to version 4.
Until I release KDE 4.9-RC1 packages, this is how you fix the breakage:
(1) make sure you have both the attica-0.3.0 and Slackware's newer 0.4.0
handy.
(2) run "upgradepkg attica-0.3.0-*.txz" to *downgrade* from 0.4.0 to 0.3.0
(3) run "installpkg attica-0.4.0-*.txz" to install the official 0.4.0
alongside 0.3.0.
When I release a new set of KDE 4.9 (beta/rc/whatever) packages, you can
finally "removepkg /var/log/packages/attica-0.3.0-*" to get rid of the old
attica.

+--------------------------+
Wed Jun 13 17:19:35 UTC 2012
This is the second Beta of KDE Software Compilation 4.9 for Slackware-current.
Its version number is "4.8.90".
The upgrade from Slackware's own 4.8.2 qill be trivial. There are two
updated dependencies (soprano and shared-desktop-ontologies).
Two KDE packages have been removed: ksecrets and kdemultimedia (the latter
has in fact been split up into several smaller individual packages).
Please read the accompanying README file for installation and upgrade
instructions!

+--------------------------+
Thu Jun 7 13:36:21 UTC 2012
Release of KDE Software Compilation 4.8.4 for Slackware '-current'.
It is an incremental update to the version 4.8.2 which is part of
Slackware-current since a few weeks ago. It is also the final installment
of the KDE 4.8.x series. I uploaded the first beta of the future 4.9.x
series a couple of days ago, but a stable release for that is still
months away.
Please read the accompanying README file for installation and upgrade
instructions!

+--------------------------+
Sun Jun 3 12:32:22 UTC 2012
This is the first Beta of KDE Software Compilation 4.9 for Slackware-current.
Its version number is "4.8.80".
The KDE release team has opened a page for distros which offer the beta
releases of KDE 4.9 in order to give this new series better coverage for bug
hunting: http://community.kde.org/Getinvolved/Testing/Beta/InstallingBeta1
and Slackware is listed first ;-)
The upgrade from Slackware's own 4.8.2 qill be trivial. I added one updated
dependency (soprano) and one KDE package has been removed: kdemultimedia has
been split up into several smaller individual packages.
Please read the accompanying README file for installation and upgrade
instructions!

+--------------------------+
Wed May 2 19:51:50 UTC 2012
Release of KDE Software Compilation 4.8.3 for Slackware '-current'.
It is an incremental update to the version 4.8.2 which was added to
Slackware-current a few weeks ago. And since Patrick updated the
libbluedevil and devil packages in '-current' already (or will do so
very soon after this post), I could skip those and limit this upgrade
to just the KDE core.
Please read the accompanying README file for installation and upgrade
instructions!

+--------------------------+
Tue Apr 3 19:04:29 UTC 2012
Release of KDE Software Compilation 4.8.2 for Slackware.
Another bugfix release in the 4.8 series.
Not much changed since my previous package set, most obvious is the
large amount of version updates in the "deps" section.
You have to be running Slackware-current in order to use these packages.
You must *recompile* everything if you want to run KDE 4.8.2 on
Slackware 13.37 or earlier, because of an incompatible update of glibc
in slackware-current.
Please read the accompanying README file for installation and upgrade
instructions!
* A lot of the dependencies have been updated since my previous KDE 4.8.1:
PyQt, QScintilla, akonadi, grantlee, libdbusmenu-qt, phonon,
phonon-mplayer, qt, raptor2, rasqal, redland, sg3_utils,
shared-desktop-ontologies, sip, soprano.
* Updated dependencies with regard to Slackware-current are:
PyQt, QScintilla, akonadi, attica, clucene, ebook-tools, hunspell,
libdbusmenu-qt, libvncserver, phonon, polkit-qt-1, qt, raptor2, rascal,
redland, shared-desktop-ontologies, sip, soprano, strigi,
system-config-printer.
* Dependencies that are not part of Slackware at all (yet):
grantlee, herqq, libatasmart, libbluedevil, libssh, phonon-gstreamer,
phonon-xine, sg3_utils and udisks.
* Note that the polkit-qt package has been moved from "kde" to "deps"
since that is what it is: a dependency, not a KDE app. Read my earlier
announcement of KDE 4.8.0 for even more bla^H^H^Hinfo.

+--------------------------+
Sun Mar 11 12:12:56 UTC 2012
4.8.1/deps/lcms2: added as this is a dependency for calligra's "krita".
4.8.1/kde/calligra: rebuilt against lcms2 to make krita work.

+--------------------------+
Tue Mar 6 13:14:57 UTC 2012
Release of KDE Software Compilation 4.8.1 for Slackware.
Overall a nice improvement to 4.8.0, so far it proves to be rock-stable.
Not much changed since my previous package set, most visible is the
inclusion of Calligra 2.4_rc1 - the first release candidate of the office
suite which is going to replace KOffice.
You have to be running Slackware-current in order to use these packages.
You must recompile everything if you want to run KDE 4.8.1 on
Slackware 13.37 or earlier, because of an incompatible update of glibc
in slackware-current.
Please read the accompanying README file for installation and upgrade
instructions!
* A few dependencies have been updated since my previous KDE 4.8.0:
akonadi and phonon-gstreamer.
* Updated dependencies with regard to the stable Slackware 13.37 are:
PyQt, QScintilla, akonadi, attica, clucene, ebook-tools, hunspell,
libdbusmenu-qt, libvncserver, phonon, polkit-qt-1, qt, raptor2, rascal,
redland, shared-desktop-ontologies, sip, soprano, strigi,
system-config-printer and virtuoso-ose.
* Dependencies that are not part of Slackware 13.37 at all (yet):
grantlee, herqq, libatasmart, libbluedevil, libssh, phonon-gstreamer,
phonon-xine, sg3_utils and udisks.
* Note that the libktorrent and polkit-qt packages have been moved from
"kde" to "deps" since that is what they are: dependencies, not KDE apps.

+--------------------------+
Thu Feb 2 09:44:00 UTC 2012
4.8.0/deps/qt: Applied patch to provide a fix for vulnerability CVE-2011-3922
(stack-based buffer overflow). Applied a patch which tries to work around a
change in path name queries, which broke system sounds in KDE (among others).

+--------------------------+
Sat Jan 28 16:36:33 UTC 2012
4.8.0/kde/kde-workspace: make KDM look first in Slackware's standard xsessions
directory /usr/share/xsessions ; also remove the xfce*.desktop xsession files
which are shipped with KDM (our XFCE package provides this already).
Requested by Robby Workman.

+--------------------------+
Thu Jan 26 15:06:28 UTC 2012
4.8.0/kde/kdelibs: patched to make UPnP support optional. UPnP support in
Solid now depends on the environment variable SOLID_UPNP. You can enable
UPnP e.g. by creating an executable script '/etc/profile.d/upnp.sh' file
containing the following contents:
export SOLID_UPNP=1

+--------------------------+
Wed Jan 25 18:49:37 UTC 2012
4.8.0/kdei : Added the "alien" tag to all language packs... oops.

+--------------------------+
Wed Jan 25 16:10:41 UTC 2012
Release of KDE Software Compilation 4.8.0 for Slackware.
You have to be running Slackware-current in order to use these packages.
You have to recompile everything if you want to run KDE 4.8.0 on
Slackware 13.37 or earlier, because of an incompatible update of glibc
in slackware-current.
Please read the accompanying README file for installation and upgrade
instructions!
* Several dependencies have been updated since my previous KDE 4.7.4:
akonadi, attica, hunspell, libatasmart, libvncserver, phonon, phonon-xine,
polkit-qt-1, qt, strigi, udisks, and upower
* Updated dependencies with regard to the stable Slackware 13.37 are:
PyQt, QScintilla, akonadi, attica, clucene, ebook-tools, hunspell,
libdbusmenu-qt, libvncserver, phonon, polkit-qt-1, qt, raptor2, rascal,
redland, shared-desktop-ontologies, sip, soprano, strigi,
system-config-printer and virtuoso-ose.
* Dependencies that are not part of Slackware 13.37 at all (yet):
grantlee, herqq, libatasmart, libbluedevil, libssh, phonon-gstreamer,
phonon-xine, sg3_utils and udisks.
* The libktorrent and polkit-qt packages have been moved from "kde" to
"deps" since that is what they are: dependencies, not KDE apps.
Some house-keeping stuff that I keep repeating because it is mostly
identical to the previous 4.7 releases but still worthwhile to read:
* You will find three new KDE applications: bluedevil (a GUI for the KDE
bluetooth framework which integrates better than the GTK-based blueman),
kplayer (a KDE integrated front-end to mplayer) and wicd-kde (a KDE
applet plus kcontrol for WICD that integrates perfectly into KDE,
replacing the GTK-based client of the wicd package).
* I also added oxygen-gtk2 (previously named 'oxygen-gtk') which is a
theme engine giving GTK based applications an integrated KDE
look-and-feel (provided you are using KDE's default Oxygen theme).
* And finally I added (back from the dead) quanta. This is a bit of an
experiment, since the new Quanta Plus has not even been released yet.
The Quanta Plus web development software was only available as a Qt3
application until now, but its developers are working hard on a Qt4 port,
re-creating it as a plugin for kdevelop.
I was able to include beta versions of kdevplatform and kdevelop
(accompanied by a new package 'kdevelop-pg-qt') to support quanta.
Use these four at your own risk! If you can't live without it and were
stuck with KDE 3 for all this time because of it, now may be the perfect
time to try Slackware-current, KDE 4.8.0 and Quanta 3.9.0 !
Last but not least... there is NetworkManager 0.9 support now (optionally):
I added a small set of packages to a subdirectory called "test".
The "test" directory contains NetworkManager plus related packages, as well
as a native KDE applet/kcontrol called "networkmanagement". If you are using
KDE on a laptop and want to try managing your network connections using
NetworkManager instead of WICD, then these packages are for you. The README
file inside the 4.8.0 directory has all the details.

+--------------------------+
Fri Dec 23 13:18:36 UTC 2011
4.7.4/kde/bluedevil: Added missing bluedevil package. I forgot to re-add it
because it was not rebuilt since KDE 4.7.3. Thanks Doctor Fungus.

+--------------------------+
Sun Dec 18 21:33:16 UTC 2011
4.7.4/kde/kdelibs: Fix for https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=288963 which
was affecting number entry in several KDE apps.

+--------------------------+
Mon Dec 12 22:48:10 UTC 2011
4.7.4/kde/kplayer: Added missing kplayer package. I omitted to re-add it
because it was not rebuilt since KDE 4.7.3. Thanks Boni Xavier.

+--------------------------+
Sun Dec 11 18:24:22 UTC 2011
4.7.4/kde/kde-workspace: [* 32-bit version only *] rebuilt in the presence
of NetworkManager, so that it allows the networkmanagement applet to work.
If you do _not_ use NetworkManager, then upgrading to this rebuilt package
is still safe: it will _not_ have any negative effects.

+--------------------------+
Tue Dec 6 22:58:10 UTC 2011
Release of KDE Software Compilation 4.7.4 for Slackware.
You have to be running Slackware-current in order to use these packages.
No guarantees are made about their useability on Slackware 13.37 (but it is
likely that it will run just fine).
Please read the accompanying README file for installation and upgrade
instructions!
* Several dependencies have been updated since my previous KDE 4.7.3:
attica, libktorrent, libmsn, and soprano.

* The libktorrent and polkit-qt packages have been moved from "kde" to
"deps" since that is what they are, dependencies, not KDE apps.
* Since this is the final release in the KDE 4.7 series, I have updated
some of Slackware's packages which I do not touch that often: amarok,
ktorrent and skanlite, so that you have a complete KDE experience.
Some house-keeping stuff that I keep repeating because it is mostly
identical to the previous 4.7 releases but still worthwhile to read:

4.6.5/deps/akonadi: applied a patch that prevents akonadi from crashing when
logging out of KDE.

+--------------------------+
Thu Nov 10 21:34:06 UTC 2011
4.7.3/deps/libmsn: added an updated package. KDE's Kopete stopped working with
MSN a few days ago, because the version of libmsn which is present in
Slackware is too old.

+--------------------------+
Tue Nov 1 21:22:35 UTC 2011
Release of KDE Software Compilation 4.7.3 for Slackware.
You have to be running Slackware-current in order to use these packages.
No guarantees are made about their useability on Slackware 13.37 (but it is
likely that it will run just fine).
Please read the accompanying README file for installation and upgrade

* Several dependencies have been updated since my previous KDE 4.7.2:
akonadi, grantlee, libbluedevil, libssh, phonon, shared-desktop-ontologies
and upower.

Last but not least... there is also NetworkManager support now (optionally):
After I released the KDE 4.7.2 set, I added a small set of packages to
a subdirectory called "test". I have repeated that for the KDE 4.7.3 set.
The "test" directory contains NetworkManager plus related packages, as well
as a native KDE applet/kcontrol called "networkmanagement". If you are using

Mon Oct 10 22:59:04 UTC 2011
4.7.2/kde/test: in the "test" directory you will find some packages that
add native and fully integrated NetworkrMmanager support in KDE.
Not a single Gnome package (like "nm-applet") is needed!
The included new "dependencies" are: NetworkManager, ModemManager,
cnetworkmanager and mobile-broadband-provider-info,
The kde-workspace was rebuilt so that it would pick up support for NM in the
solid hardware device framework. And the new KDE package "networkmanagement"
gives you a nice network configurator in System Settings as well as a
plasmoid (aka widget) which can be added to your system tray.
Read the included README file for instructions!

+--------------------------+
Sun Oct 9 17:25:05 UTC 2011
4.7.2/kde/kdelibs: applied a patch to fix a serious bug which prevented any
Nepomuk query which does NOT use wide unicode characters to fail.
4.7.2/kde/kdepim-runtime: applied a patch which fixes bug 283467: Kmail would
have duplicated "inbox/sent-mail etc..." folders after migration from a
previous version.

4.7.1/kde/kdepim-runtime: applied a patch that prevents accidental deletion of
new email when retrieved by KMail from a POP3 server into a 'maildir' folder.
This bug was introduced in the 4.7.0 version of kdepim-runtime, so if you are
still running KDE 4.7.0 and use KMail, a it is wise to upgrade.

+--------------------------+
Sun Sep 11 02:02:55 UTC 2011
kde/kde-workspace: rebuilt after applying a patch to fix a performance bug in

grantlee, herqq, libatasmart, libbluedevil, libssh, phonon-gstreamer,
phonon-xine, sg3_utils and udisks.
The polkit-qt package was moved from "kde" to "deps" in my 4.7.0 release.
You will find two new KDE applications: bluedevil (a GUI for the KDE
bluetooth framework which integrates better than the GTK-based blueman),
and kplayer (a KDE integrated front-end to mplayer).
I also added oxygen-gtk which is a theme engine giving GTK based applications
an integrated KDE look-and-feel (provided you as using KDE's default Oxygen
theme).
And finally I added (back from the dead) quanta. This is a bit of an
experiment, since the new Quanta Plus has not even been released yet.
The Quanta Plus web development software was only available as a Qt3
application until now, but its developers are working hard on a Qt4 port,
re-creating it as a plugin for kdevelop.
So I had to use bleeding edge git snapshots for kdevplatform, kdevelop and
quanta. Use these three at your own risk! If you can't live without it
and stuck with KDE 3 for all this time because of it, now may be the perfect
time to try Slackware-current, KDE 4.7.1 and Quanta 3.9.0 !

+--------------------------+
Thu Aug 4 13:43:57 UTC 2011
kde/konq-plugins: Removed. The content of this package has been integrated
into the 'kdebase' package (it is part of the 'kde-baseapps' source tarball
since 4.7).

+--------------------------+
Wed Aug 3 19:20:32 UTC 2011
deps/herqq: patched the SlackBuild script and rebuilt the x86_64 package
because it was installing libraries incorrectly into /usr/lib . It looks
like no rebuild of kdelibs is required.

+--------------------------+
Tue Aug 2 19:00:52 UTC 2011
deps/phonon-gstreamer: Added. The gstreamer and xine backends were split out
of the new phonon 4.5.0 which ships with my KDE 4.7.0. This means that any
application that uses phonon for its output was suddenly limited to using
the not fully mature mplayer backend. This new package restores the lost
functionality.
deps/phonon-xine: Added. For the same reasons as above.

+--------------------------+
Mon Aug 1 11:18:47 UTC 2011

+--------------------------+
Sat Apr 9 14:11:31 UTC 2011
4.6.1/kde/kdebase-workspace: patched to fix the shutdown issue in runlevel 4
(kdm would drop you in a tty instead of powering off the computer).

+--------------------------+
Fri Apr 8 07:57:00 UTC 2011
Release of KDE Software Compilation 4.6.2 for Slackware.
Have fun with these packages for Slackware 13.37 (comes in 32-bit as well
as 64-bit flavours). Assuming Slackware 13.37 has not yet been released
by the time I post this, rest assured that it'll all work just fine on
its Release Candidate 3.14159265 too!
Slackware 13.37 itself sticks with KDE SC 4.5.5, which is rock stable and
well-tested.
Please read the accompanying README file for installation and upgrade
instructions!
Updated dependencies since KDE 4.6.1 if you have that installed already:
QScintilla, akonadi, libdbusmenu-qt, system-config-printer, upower,

Not part of Slackware at all: grantlee, libatasmart, libssh, sg3_utils,
udisks.

+--------------------------+
Mon Mar 28 07:30:49 UTC 2011
4.6.1/kde/kdegraphics: rebuilt against the new versoin of poppler that went
into slackware-current.
4.6.1/kde/kdelibs: patched with a fix for CVE-2011-1168 (a XSS vulnerability
in konqueror).

+--------------------------+
Sun Mar 13 19:40:48 UTC 2011
4.6.1/deps/QScintilla: rebuilt the package against the newer PyQt. This
fixes the segfault in the 'eric' python IDE - it runs fine now.

+--------------------------+
Sat Mar 12 21:01:58 UTC 2011
4.6.1/deps/QScintilla: re-added the missing 2.4.6 package. I had built this
package for KDE 4.6.0, and it is still needed for KDE 4.6.1 (there is an
incompatible package with version 2.4.5 in Slackware itself).

+--------------------------+
Sat Mar 5 00:22:42 UTC 2011
Release of KDE Software Compilation 4.6.1.
Have fun with these packages for Slackware-current (32-bit as well as 64-bit).
Slackware itself will stick with the 4.5.5 version, which is rock stable
and well-tested.
Several slackware packages need to be updated, there are even some entirely
new packages (grantlee, libatasmart, libssh, sg3-utils, udisks, upower) which
are required in order to run this new version of KDE4. You can find all of
these packages in the "deps" directory for your architecture.
Accompanying this KDE release are updated packages for k3b and
kaudiocreator because the versions in Slackware will not work with KDE 4.6.
New for KDE are kwebkitpart, polkit-kde-kcmodules-1 and polkit-kde-agent-1
(the two polkit packages replace the old polkit-kde-1 package which does not
work with KDE 4.6).
A word of caution about to the PIM packages (kdepim and kdepim-runtime):
you can either keep the version 4.4.10 which is already included in slackware
-current, which is stable, and compatible with KDE 4.6, _or_ you can upgrade
to the new version 4.6beta4 which is included with my KDE 4.6 packages...
and may not be stable enough for production use.
See the README file for detailed installation instructions!

+--------------------------+
Sun Feb 13 13:50:22 UTC 2011
4.6.0/kde/kdeartwork: Rebuilt because of library updates in slackware-current.
4.6.0/kde/kdebase-runtime: Rebuilt.
4.6.0/kde/kdebindings: Rebuilt.
4.6.0/kde/kdegraphics: Rebuilt.
4.6.0/kde/kdeplasma-addons: Rebuilt.

+--------------------------+
Tue Jan 25 19:57:47 UTC 2011
Release of KDE Software Compilation 4.6.0.
Have fun with these packages for Slackware-current (32-bit as well as 64-bit).
Slackware itself will stick with the 4.5.5 version, which is rock stable
and well-tested.
Several slackware packages need to be updated, there are even some entirely
new packages (grantlee, libatasmart, libssh, sg3-utils, udisks, upower) which
are required in order to run this new version of KDE4. You can find all of
these packages in the "deps" directory for your architecture.
Accompanying this KDE release are updated packages for k3b, kaudiocreator,
kdevplatform and kdevelop because the versions in Slackware will not work
with KDE 4.6. New for KDE are kwebkitpart, polkit-kde-kcmodules-1 and
polkit-kde-agent-1 (the two polkit packages replace the old polkit-kde-1
package which does not work with KDE 4.6).
A word of caution about to the PIM packages (kdepim and kdepim-runtime):
you can either keep the version 4.4.9 which is already included in slackware
-current, which is stable, and compatible with KDE 4.6, _or_ you can upgrade
to the new version 4.6beta4 which is included with my KDE 4.6 packages...
and may not be stable enough for production use.
See the README file for detailed installation instructions!

+--------------------------+
Thu Jan 6 09:09:33 UTC 2011
Release of KDE 4.6.RC2 (aka 4.5.95) packages for Slackware-current.
This is the second release candidate for the upcoming KDE Software
Compilation 4.6.0, use it at your own risk.
Several slackware packages need to be updated, and there are some entirely new
packages as well (grantlee, libatasmart, sg3-utils, udisks, upower) which you
will need in order to run this new version of KDE4. You will find all of
these packages in the "deps" directory for your architecture.
A note about the PIM 4.6beta3 packages which accompany this KDE 4.6.RC1:
the developers have announced that they will not have a stable 4.6 version of
their PIM software ready when KDE 4.6.0 is released. Instead, they have
created a stable 4.4.9 version which has been made fully compatible with
KDE 4.6. If you don't like the kdepim 4.6beta3 package in my repository,
stick with the 4.4.9 version which is already part of slackware -current.
There is a slightly newer snapshot of k3b in here, which no longer shows the
"Make sure HAL daemon is running" text now that it no longer depends on HAL.
I re-added the kdevelop and kdevplatform packages which I forgot to bring
forward from the 4.5.85 build when I updated to 4.5.90.

+--------------------------+
Tue Jan 4 14:39:52 UTC 2011
kde/k3b: updated to a newer git snapshot. This fixes a crash bug at 100% when
burning a CD. It also allowed me to disable HAL support in k3b entirely.

+--------------------------+
Sun Jan 2 23:56:00 UTC 2011
kde/kdebindings: rebuilt because of the new perl in slackware-current.

+--------------------------+
Thu Dec 23 09:48:53 UTC 2010
Release of KDE 4.6.RC1 (aka 4.5.90) packages for Slackware-current.
This is the first release candidate for the upcoming KDE Software Compilation
4.6.0, use it at your own risk.
Several slackware packages need to be updated, and there are some entirely new
packages as well (grantlee, libatasmart, sg3-utils, udisks, upower) which you
will need in order to run this new version of KDE4. You will find all of
these packages in the "deps" directory for your architecture.
The PIM software is finally available again, there are new packages for kdepim
and kdepim-runtime which replace the old 4.4.7 packages. Note that the PIM
developers have announced that they will not have a stable 4.6 version ready
when KDE 4.6.0 is released. Instead, they will have a stable 4.4.9 release
which has been made compatible with KDE 4.6. If you don't like the kdepim
4.6beta3 package in my repository, stick with the 'old' 4.4.7 of slackware
-current.

+--------------------------+
Fri Dec 17 12:24:46 UTC 2010
deps/grantlee: added. The kdelibs and kdepim packages enable additional
functionality when build against this package.
kde/kdelibs: rebuilt against grantlee (new package). Removed HAL support in
solid. It should be safe to disable HAL now (install my phonon-mplayer
package if your sound no longer works after disabling HAL).
kde/kdepim: rebuilt against grantlee (new package).
kde/kdevplatform: updated to 1.1.80. This update is required for KDE 4.6.
kde/kdevelop: updated to 4.1.80. This update is required for KDE 4.6.

+--------------------------+
Sun Dec 12 15:07:20 UTC 2010
Release of KDE 4.6.beta2 (aka 4.5.85) packages for Slackware-current.
This is still very much beta software, use it at your own risk.
Several slackware packages need to be updated, and there are some entirely new
packages as well (libatasmart, sg3-utils, udisks, upower) which you will need
in order to run this new version of KDE4. You will find all of these packages
in the "deps" directory for your architecture.
The PIM software is finally available again, there are new packages for kdepim
and kdepim-runtime which replace the old 4.4.7 packages.

+--------------------------+
Thu Nov 4 01:04:19 UTC 2010
Release of KDE 4.5.3 packages for Slackware-current. The packages install
cleanly on slackware-current (32-bit and 64-bit), no additional dependencies
are required. If you installed KDE 4.5.1 before from slackware-current and
upgrade using my packages, you will keep the kdepim/kdepim-runtime packages
of slackware-current. There *still* is no stable release of kdepim 4.5.

+--------------------------+
Fri Oct 8 22:42:47 UTC 2010
Release of KDE 4.5.2 packages for Slackware-current. These packages install
cleanly on slackware-current (32-bit and 64-bit), no additional dependencies
are required. If you installed KDE 4.5.1 before from slackware-current and
upgrade using my packages, you will keep the kdepim/kdepim-runtime packages
of slackware-current. There still is no stable release of kdepim 4.5.

+--------------------------+
Fri Sep 3 07:02:48 UTC 2010
Release of KDE 4.5.1 packages for Slackware-current. Please note, that you
have one additional dependency to install (libdbus-qt) and that the kdepim and
kdepim-runtime packages are still absent from this Software Compilation.
The PIM software is still considered too unstable (but not for much longer)
so please keep using the kdepim/kdepim-runtime packages for KDE 4.4.5.

+--------------------------+
Fri Aug 6 20:28:34 UTC 2010
This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.5.0 for Slackware-current.
Another milestone for the KDE project with numerous improvements to the
KDE 4.4 which we have in Slackware at the moment. Congratulations to everyone
who helped in making this release possible, delivering on time as planned.
NOTE:
KDE 4.5.0 does not contain kdepim and kdepim-runtime because te PIM project
was unable to deliver a stable version in time for release. You will have to
use the version 4.4.5 of the kdepim and kdepim-runtime packages which are
present in Slackware-current. In one of the future releases of KDE 4.5.x the
new kdepim will finally be added to the Software Compilation.

+--------------------------+
Tue Jul 27 20:53:30 UTC 2010
4.4.95/deps: re-added libdbusmenu-qt. Obviously I had forgotten to upload
this required dependency to the repository. The KDE 4.4-rc packages were
built in its presence so there is nothing else for you to do than to run
"upgradepkg --install-new" on the package for your architecture.
Apologies for the mix-up and thanks to Tom who pointed this out on my blog.

+--------------------------+
Mon Jul 26 20:05:49 UTC 2010
KDE SC 4.4.95 (this is 4.5-rc3) packages for Slackware-current (32-bit and
64-bit). There is also one updated dependency (soprano). Note that this
set of KDE packages no longer targets Slackware 13.1 now that -current is
moving too far away from 13.1.

+--------------------------+
Fri Jul 9 08:40:02 UTC 2010
KDE SC 4.4.92 (this is 4.5-rc2) packages for Slackware-13.1 (32-bit and 64-bit).
This comes with several updated dependencies (non-KDE Slackware packages),
most of which I already created for KDE 4.4.5.
People asked me if I could compile some of the extragear as well (amarok,
qtorrent, k3b) but there is simply no time for that, sorry.

+--------------------------+
Wed Jul 7 21:59:46 UTC 2010
4.4.5/deps/qt: I thought I had grabbed a qt-4.6.3 source snapshot but I was
mistaken... and failed to notice that it actuall still was 4.6.2.
So thanks to some whispering in my ear, I have now updated the qt package
with a real 4.6.3 snapshot.

+--------------------------+
Tue Jul 6 18:46:14 UTC 2010
KDE SC 4.4.5 released for Slackware-13.1 (32-bit and 64-bit). Follow the
installation instructions in the README. The koffice-2.2.0 packages which
I had built for KDE SC 4.4.4 are copied here as well.

+--------------------------+
Sat Jun 26 23:44:29 UTC 2010
KDE SC 4.4.90 (which is in fact 4.5-rc1) packages for Slackware-13.1 (32-bit
and 64-bit). Help test this first release candidate so that we may see
another stellar release of KDE in august. Report your bugs at bugs.kde.org.

+--------------------------+

KDE SC 4.4.85 (better known as 4.5-beta2) released for Slackware-13.1 (32-bit
and 64-bit). This is only for people who want to help fixing bugs in the new
KDE!!! If you need a stable system, stick with KDE 4.4.4.
Expected release date of a stable KDE 4.5 is august 2010.

+--------------------------+
Sun Jun 6 18:42:45 UTC 2010
KDE SC 4.4.4 released for Slackware-13.1 (32-bit and 64-bit). Follow the
