+--------------------------+ Sat Feb 18 18:32:32 UTC 2017 14.2/latest/x86_64 : Here are the promised KDE 5_17.02 packages for Slackware 14.2 (64bit only). +--------------------------+ Thu Feb 16 19:39:41 UTC 2017 current/latest/x86_64/kde/plasma: added missing 'alien' tag to the packages. +--------------------------+ Wed Feb 15 13:25:56 UTC 2017 Here is KDE 5_17.02 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.31.0, Plasma 5.9.2 and Applications 16.12.2 on top of Qt 5.7.1. KDE-5_17.02 is meant to be installed on top of Slackware -current. For the moment, I will not be offering new packages for Slackware 14.2. Upgrading from the previous 5_17.01 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/ +--------------------------+ 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! 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/ +--------------------------+ Tue Nov 8 23:03:32 UTC 2016 Here is KDE 5_16.11 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.27.0, Plasma 5.8.3 and Applications 16.08.2 on top of Qt 5.7.0. Upgrade from the previous KDE 5_16.08 should be smooth. 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/ +--------------------------+ Tue Sep 6 11:48:44 UTC 2016 deps/qt5: applied a patch to fix a bug in qtwebkit (visible in kmail) which is triggered because of having been compiled against glibc-2.24. +--------------------------+ Wed Aug 31 11:35:41 UTC 2016 Here is KDE 5_16.08 for Slackware 14.2 and -current, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.25.0, Plasma 5.7.4 and Applications 16.08.0 on top of Qt 5.7.0. Upgrade from the previous KDE 5_16.07 should be smooth. Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and 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 deps/poppler: added a recompiled Slackware package which adds Qt5 support on top of the Qt4 support which was already present. 14.2/latest/kde/kde4/baloo: recompiled in order to remove the overlap with the 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. +--------------------------+ Fri Jul 22 10:24:00 UTC 2016 Here is KDE 5_16.07 for Slackware 14.2 and -current, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.24.0, Plasma 5.7.2 and Applications 16.04.3 on top of Qt 5.6.1. Upgrade from the previous KDE 5_16.06 should be smooth. Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! +--------------------------+ Fri Jul 8 23:07:03 UTC 2016 14.2/latest/kde/plasma: re-added breeze-gtk and plasma-workspace-wallpapers (64bit only) which I had inadvertently moved to my archive along with the old breeze and plasma-workspace packages (oh, the curse of using wildcards). +--------------------------+ Fri Jul 8 14:12:43 UTC 2016 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 NOTICE: my 'ktown' repository for Plasma5 has been promoted from 'testing' to 'stable'. This means, 'ktown' repository for Slackware 14.2 now offers the Plasma5 desktop under 'latest', consisting of Frameworks 5.23.0, Plasma 5.7 and Applications 16.04.2. Repository URL: http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/14.2/latest/ The old testing repository for Slackware-current will soon start moving again, investigating the useability of Wayland. For the time being the URL http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/alien-kde/current/testing/ will point to the stable repository (using symlinks). 14.2/latest/kde/plasma: updated to 5.7. 14.2/latest/kde/applications-extra/skanlite: built the first KF5 based version 2.0. +--------------------------+ Thu Jun 23 17:16:25 UTC 2016 current/testing/deps: qt5 has been upgraded to 5.6.1-1 which is a bugfix release, addresssing some serious QML related crash issues. +--------------------------+ Tue Jun 14 22:06:26 UTC 2016 Here is KDE 5_16.06 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.23.0, Plasma 5.6.5 and Applications 16.04.2, accompanied by Qt5 5.6.1.

Also, three new packages have been added and one has been re-added. current/testing/deps: Updated OpenAL. current/testing/kde/applications: Rebuilt kde-runtime, kdenetwork-filesharing, kdesdk-thumbnailers, kdegraphics-thumbnailers, krfb, kamera, marble, ark, dolphin, kde-baseapps. current/testing/kde/applications: Added the missing baloo5-widgets. current/testing/kde/kdepim: Rebuilt kdepimlibs. current/testing/kde/plasma: Added bluez-qt,bluedevil (now that Slackware finally got updated to BlueZ 5)). current/testing/kde/plasma: Rebuilt plasma5-nm, plasma-workspace. current/testing/kde/plasma-extra: Re-added oxygen-fonts on request. +--------------------------+ Wed Dec 16 22:06:21 UTC 2015 Here is the December release of Plasma 5: KDE 5_15.12 for Slackware-current, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.17.0, Plasma 5.5.1 and Applications 15.12.0. Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! +--------------------------+ Wed Dec 9 00:22:57 UTC 2015 current/testing/deps/json-glib: updated to 1.0.4. current/testing/kde/telepathy/kaccounts-integration: applied a patch to fix breakage in the KDE Telepathy accounts connection. +--------------------------+ Fri Nov 27 15:40:39 UTC 2015 current/testing/deps/telepathy/: Rebuilt against new icu4c and eudev. current/testing/kde/applications/kde-workspace: Rebuilt against new icu4c and eudev. current/testing/kde/kde4/kdelibs: Rebuilt against new icu4c and eudev. current/testing/kde/kde4-extragear/mtp-kio: Updated to new git snapshot. current/testing/kde/telepathy/: Updated to 15.08.3. +--------------------------+ Wed Nov 25 08:06:22 UTC 2015 current/testing/kde/frameworks/solid: rebuilt against eudev's libudev.so.1 current/testing/kde/plasma/kwin: rebuilt against eudev's libudev.so.1 current/testing/kde/plasma/powerdevil: rebuilt against eudev's libudev.so.1 No Plasma 5 package should link against the old libudev.s0.0 anymore. current/testing/kde/plasma-extra/kdeconnect-framework: updated. +--------------------------+ Sun Nov 22 13:15:17 UTC 2015 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 complains about missing libraries. +--------------------------+ 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' update in slackware-current (32bit packages follow a bit later, because LibreOffice is higher on my TODO list): deps/qt5 (updated to 5.5.1 as well) kde/applications/step kde/kde4/akonadi4 kde/kdepim/akonadi kde/kdepim/akonadi-search kde/kdepim/akonadi-calendar kde/kdepim/kdepimlibs kde/plasma-extra/sddm-qt5 +--------------------------+ Mon Nov 16 22:06:27 UTC 2015 current/testing/kde/applications: applied the missing 'alien' tag to the packages in 'applications'. +--------------------------+ Sun Nov 15 22:08:06 UTC 2015 Here is my November release of Plasma 5: KDE 5_15.11 for Slackware-current, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.16.0, Plasma 5.4.3 and Applications 15.08.3. You'll notice straight away that Frameworks were expanded with new Oxygen and Breeze icon sets. Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! +--------------------------+ Sun Oct 18 13:25:51 UTC 2015 current/testing/kde/frameworks/kio: applied patch which restores missing servicemenus in Dolphin (caused by KF5 port of dolphin) +--------------------------+ Fri Oct 16 14:03:52 UTC 2015 current/testing/deps/telepathy/telepathy-glib: fixed the slack-desc file. +--------------------------+ Wed Oct 14 11:47:31 UTC 2015 current/testing/kde/telepathy/ktp-accounts-kcm: applied a patch that stops the crashes in the KDE Telepathy tray application +--------------------------+ Tue Oct 13 08:01:12 UTC 2015 Here is KDE 5_15.10, the October release for Slackware -current. 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/kde/applications/kde-workspace: re-generated the .md5 and .asc files for the 64bit package. I had rebuilt this package but forgot to refresh the metadata. +--------------------------+ Wed Sep 16 11:03:54 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! +--------------------------+ Mon May 25 23:27:53 UTC 2015 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. current/4.14.3/kde/kdepim-runtime: updated to 4.14.6 LTS. current/4.14.3/kde/kdepimlibs: updated to 4.14.6 LTS. +--------------------------+ Sat Mar 28 15:55:04 UTC 2015 This is KDE 5_15.03 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.8.0, Plasma 5.2.2 and Applications 14.12.3. 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! +--------------------------+ Sun Sep 6 08:55:21 UTC 2015 current/testing/x86_64/deps/: removed old versions of PyQt5, qca-qt5. current/testing/x86_64/kde/kde4/: removed old versions of korundum, perlqt, pykde4, qtruby, smokekde. +--------------------------+ Thu Sep 3 14:05:26 UTC 2015 current/testing/x86/deps/qt5-5.5.0: added missing "alien" tag. current/testing/x86/kde/plasma-extra/kdeconnect-framework: added missing "alien" tag. current/testing/x86/kde/plasma-extra/polkit-kde-kcmodules-framework: added missing "alien" tag. current/testing/x86/kde/plasma-extra/sddm-qt5: removed old version 0.11. current/testing/x86_64/deps/qt5: removed old version 5.4.1. +--------------------------+ Wed Sep 2 12:25:55 UTC 2015 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! +--------------------------+ Mon May 25 23:27:53 UTC 2015 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. current/4.14.3/kde/kdepim-runtime: updated to 4.14.6 LTS. current/4.14.3/kde/kdepimlibs: updated to 4.14.6 LTS. +--------------------------+ Sat Mar 28 15:55:04 UTC 2015 This is KDE 5_15.03 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.8.0, Plasma 5.2.2 and Applications 14.12.3. 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 my KDE 5_15.02_02 release: - kde/frameworks packages were updated to 5..8.0. Two Frameworks were added: + KPeople, provides access to all contacts and the people who hold them + KXmlRpcClient, interaction with XMLRPC services See also https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.8.0.php - kde/plasma packages were updated to 5.2.2. This is a bugfix release, see https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.2.2.php - kde/applications packages were updated to 14.12.3. This is a bugfix release, see also https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-14.12.3.php - kde/kde4 has new versions of kdelibs and kdepim* - kde/kde4-extragear has a new version 2.9.1 of the Calligra office suite. - deps directory has two updates to Slackware packages (libwpd and grantlee) which are required by the new versions of calligra and kdepim respectively; and two new packages: librevenge and libodfgen (both are required for the new release of libwpd) NOTE: Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! Upgrading to this KDE 5 is non-trivial. You will have to *remove* old KDE packages manually. If you do not have KDE installed at all, you will have to *install* some of Slackware's own KDE packages manually. +--------------------------+ Fri Feb 27 21:08:57 UTC 2015 current/5/kde/plasma/libksysguard: rebuilt to move dbus files. current/5/kde/plasma/sddm-kcm: rebuilt to move dbus files. current/5/kde/plasma-extra/polkit-kde-kcmodules-framework: rebuilt to move dbus files. +--------------------------+ Wed Feb 25 19:52:26 UTC 2015 This is KDE 5_15.02_2 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.7.0, Plasma 5.2.1 and Applications 14.12.2. 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 my KDE 5_15.02 release: - deps/libssh version 0.6.4 was re-added, this was still missing after I moved from KDE 4.14.3 To KDE 5. The updated version is required by kde-runtime. - kde/plasma packages were updated to 5.2.1. This is a bugfix release, see also https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.2.1.php - kde/frameworks/kglobalaccel was rebuilt. It broke after the upgrade of plasma-workspace because it had picked up an unneeded dependency. - kde/applications/kde-runtime was rebuilt. With the newer libssh in place, the 'sftp' kioslave is built as well. +--------------------------+ Tue Feb 17 20:54:27 UTC 2015 This is KDE 5_15.02 for Slackware, consisting of the KDE Frameworks 5.7.0, Plasma 5.2.0 and Applications 14.12.2. 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 my 15.01 release of KDE 5: - all "extragear" packages that went missing between KDE 4.14.3 and 5_15.01 like k3b, kdevelop etc, have been re-added - The Frameworks have been upgraded from 5.6.0 to 5.7.0 - The Applications have been upgraded from 14.12.1 to 14.12.2 (bugfix release) - katepart4 was added so that kdevelop works again - konsolepart4 was added to be able to use an embedded konsole in dolphin - sddm-theme-breeze was removed, the theme is now part of plasma-workspace NOTE: Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! Upgrading to this KDE 5 is non-trivial. You will have to *remove* old KDE packages manually. If you do not have KDE installed at all, you will have to *install* some of Slackware's own KDE packages manually. +--------------------------+ Wed Jan 28 21:49:44 UTC 2015 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. NOTE: Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! Upgrading to this KDE 5 is non-trivial. You will have to *remove* old KDE packages manually. If you do not have KDE installed at all, you will have to *install* some of Slackware's own KDE packages manually. +--------------------------+ 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! +--------------------------+ Sun Oct 12 11:39:35 UTC 2014 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.14.2 for Slackware-current! The release includes the latest version of the Plasma Workspaces, 4.11.13. Kactivities was taken from the 4.13.3 sources because that is missing 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. +--------------------------+ Tue Sep 16 20:41:10 UTC 2014 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.14.1 for Slackware-current! The release includes the latest version of the Plasma Workspaces, 4.11.12. Kactivities was taken from the 4.13.3 sources because that is missing from KDE 4.14. Added (just like with previous package sets) are the latest version of the Calligra office suite, 2.8.5, and the newest kdeconnect-kde 0.7.2. Compared to the previous KDE 4.14.0, no dependencies were updated. Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! +--------------------------+ Sun Aug 24 10:12:37 UTC 2014 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.13.3 for Slackware 14.1 as promised, The newer KDE (4.14 and 5) will only be build for slackware-current but 4.13.3 is still fresh, and a nice enhancement of your stable Slackware 14.1 computer. It comes with the latest version 4.11.11 of the kde-workspace package. Also included is the latest version of the Calligra office suite (2.8.5). Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! +--------------------------+ Fri Aug 15 08:49:13 UTC 2014 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.14.0 for Slackware-current! The release includes the latest version of the Plasma Workspaces, 4.11.11. Kactivities was taken from the 4.13.3 sources because that too, is missing from KDE 4.14. Added extras (just like with KDE 4.13.3) are the latest version of the Calligra office suite, 2.8.5, and the newest kdeconnect-kde 0.7.2. Compared to the previous KDE 4.13.3, there is one updated dependency: akonadi. Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! +--------------------------+ Tue Aug 12 20:34:02 UTC 2014 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 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. +--------------------------+ Wed Jul 23 18:17:40 UTC 2014 14.1/4.12.5/kde/kwalletmanager: Moved the files in /etc/kde/ to /etc/ . This fixes a bug in the SlackBuild caused by this package having been renamed from 'kwallet' in KDE 4.12. The update fixes the error "system security policy didn't allow you to save the changes" when attempting to change the kwallet configuration. +--------------------------+ Thu Jul 17 06:25:25 UTC 2014 current/4.13.3/kde/kde-workspace: rebuilt to fix missing library in kwin. current/4.13.3/kde/plasma-nm: increased the BUILD number from "1alien" to "2alien" because it was built against a newer libmn-qt which had an ABI change. +--------------------------+ Mon Jul 14 02:40:10 UTC 2014 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.13.3 for Slackware-current. It comes with the latest version 4.11.11 of the kde-workspace package. Also included is the latest version of the Calligra office suite (2.8.5).

This vulnerability is labeled CVE-2014-3494. (* Security fix *) current/4.13.2/kde/kdelibs: applied patch for KMail/KIO POP3 SSL MITM Flaw. This vulnerability is labeled CVE-2014-3494. (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Wed Jun 11 12:35:46 UTC 2014 current/4.13.2/kdei: added missing hardlinks in directory x86/kdei pointing to the existing packages in the x86_64/kdei directory. +--------------------------+ Tue Jun 10 09:12:50 UTC 2014 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.13.2 for Slackware-current. No guarantees about its useability on Slackware 14.1. I added the latest version 4.11.10 of the kde-workspace package. Also included is the latest versions of the Calligra office suite (2.8.3). Compared to the previous KDE 4.13.1, there is one updated dependency: libssh. Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! +--------------------------+ Tue May 13 19:27:42 UTC 2014 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.13.1 for Slackware-current. No guarantees about its useability on Slackware 14.1. I added the latest version 4.11.9 of the kde-workspace package. The updated oxygen-gtk2 package should fix some application crashes. Also included are the latest versions of the Calligra office suite and KDevelop. I included a new package: 'kdev-python' which adds python support to KDevelop. Compared to the previous KDE 4.13.0, there is one updated dependency: LibRaw. Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! +--------------------------+ Sat May 3 09:18:15 UTC 2014 14.1/4.12.5/kde/kde-workspace: applied patch so that KDM does not crash when you select a desktop environment other than KDE or XFCE. Moved the kde*.desktop files to /usr/share/xsessions so that other login managers than KDM (like SLiM) can offer KDE desktop sessions as an option. current/4.13.0/kde/kde-workspace: same changes as above. In addition, the version was upgraded from 4.11.8 to 4.11.9. +--------------------------+ Mon Apr 28 10:18:24 UTC 2014 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.12.5 for Slackware 14.1 and -current. This release includes version 4.11.9 of the Plasma Workspaces. It's also the final increment of the KDE 4.12 series. I added the latest Calligra 2.8.2 like I did with KDE 4.13 as well. The kdevelop packages have been updated too, and a new python plugin package has been added (kdev-python). Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! +--------------------------+ Tue Apr 15 19:41:55 UTC 2014 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.13.0 for Slackware-current! No guarantees about its useability on Slackware 14.1. I will make available the final KDE 4.12 release (4.12.5) for Slackware 14.1, in two weeks. This release includes the latest version 4.11.8 of the kde-workspace package just like was the case with the previous KDE SC 4.12. For this release I have also added the very latest version of the Calligra office suite, 2.8.2. Since the previous KDE 4.12, two dependencies were updated: akonadi and 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. Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! +--------------------------+ Sun Mar 30 21:40:38 UTC 2014 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.12.4 for Slackware-current (it was actually compiled on Slackware 14.1 for maximum compatibility). This release does not include a version 4.12.x of the Plasma Workspaces, since it was feature-frozen in 4.11. The work done in KDE 4.12 will be mainly about improving and polishing KDE Applications. I ship kde-workspace-4.11.8 along with KDE 4.12.4. One package was renamed: kdnssd is now called zeroconf-ioslave. I also updated to the new Calligra 2.8.1. Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! +--------------------------+ Wed Mar 5 20:49:43 UTC 2014 current/4.12.3/kde: added the missing kwalletmanager package. For KDE 4.12.3, the old 'kwallet' package had been renamed to 'kwalletmanager' and I had not spotted that. Upgrade using "upgradepkg kwallet%/path/to/kwalletmanager-4.12.3-*.txz". +--------------------------+ Sun Mar 2 22:14:58 UTC 2014 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.12.3 for Slackware-current (it was actually compiled on Slackware 14.1 for maximum compatibility). This release does not include a version 4.12.x of the Plasma Workspaces, since it was feature-frozen in 4.11. The work done in KDE 4.12 will be mainly about improving and polishing KDE Applications. I ship kde-workspace-4.11.7 along with KDE 4.12.3. New package added: kdeconnect-kde. Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! 14.1/4.11.5/kde/kde-workspace: Updated to 4.11.7 (same source as is also used in KDE SC 4.12.3). +--------------------------+ Mon Feb 10 21:22:31 UTC 2014 current/4.12.2/kdei: added hardlinks in new directory x86/kdei pointing to the existing packages in the x86_64/kdei directory. Does not use up any space on your hard drive, and you will be able to upgrade your kde-l10n package with slackpkg+ now. 14.1/4.11.5/kdei: added hardlinks for reasons explained above. 14.0/4.10.5/kdei: added hardlinks for reasons explained above. 13.37/4.6.5/kdei: added hardlinks for reasons explained above. +--------------------------+ Mon Feb 3 23:37:11 UTC 2014 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.12.2 for Slackware-current (it was actually compiled on Slackware 14.1 for maximum compatibility). This release does not include a version 4.12.x of the Plasma Workspaces, since it was feature-frozen in 4.11. The work done in KDE 4.12 will be mainly about improving and polishing KDE Applications. I ship kde-workspace-4.11.6 along with KDE 4.12.2. Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! +--------------------------+ Sun Jan 12 12:41:11 UTC 2014 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.12.1 for Slackware-current (will work on Slackware 14.1 as well most likely, but untested here). This release does not include a version 4.12.x of the Plasma Workspaces, since it was feature-frozen in 4.11. The work done in KDE 4.12 will be mainly about improving and polishing KDE Applications. I ship kde-workspace-4.11.5 along with KDE 4.12.1. You have a choice of NetworkManager GUI: the original 'networkmanagement' widget or the new QML based 'plasma-nm' applet. The packages required for the Plasma NetworkManager applet are: libmm-qt, libnm-qt and plasma-nm itself. Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! +--------------------------+ Tue Jan 7 20:10:02 UTC 2014 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.11.5 for Slackware 14.1 (and -current). These packages will not work on Slackware 14.0. PIasma-nm is the future replacement of the networkmanagement widget. Try it out, it works well for me. I also provide a recompiled version of the calligra package because the updated libraries in KDE 4.11 break the calligra-words of Slackware 14.1. Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! +--------------------------+ Thu Dec 19 09:55:26 UTC 2013 current/4.12.0/kde/libkomparediff2: Added the missing slack-desc file. +--------------------------+ Tue Dec 17 19:17:40 UTC 2013 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.12.0 for Slackware-current (might work on Slackware 14.1 as well, but untested, ymmv). This release does not include a new Plasma Workspaces since it was feature-frozen in 4.11. so 4.12 will be mainly about improving and polishing KDE Applications. You have a choice of NetworkManager GUI: the original 'networkmanagement' widget or the new QML based 'plasma-nm' applet. The packages required for the Plasma NetworkManager applet are: libmm-qt, libnm-qt and plasma-nm itself. Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! +--------------------------+ Wed Dec 4 08:35:07 UTC 2013 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.11.4 for Slackware 14.1 (and -current). These packages will not work on Slackware 14.0. Notable enhancements in the 4.11 release cycle are: more widespread use of Qt-Quick in Plasma Workspaces, faster Nepomuk indexing, Kontact improvements, OpenGL improvements in KWin (and a start of support for Wayland). Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! +--------------------------+ Thu Nov 7 23:39:08 UTC 2013 current/4.11.3/kde/kde-baseapps: Applied a patch for a serious regression 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). These packages will not work on Slackware 14.0. I added a few experimental packages which will likely become the future replacement of the networkmanagement widget. These packages are: libmm-qt, libnm-qt and plasma-nm. Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and 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 broken it. +--------------------------+ Tue Oct 15 10:08:39 UTC 2013 source/4.7.4: Removed to make room for the next Slackware. source/4.8.4: Removed to make room for the next Slackware. +--------------------------+ Tue Oct 15 07:18:03 UTC 2013 14.0/4.9.5: Removed to make room for the next Slackware. Use KDE 4.10.5 on Slackware 14 instead. source/4.9.5: Removed to make room for the next Slackware. +--------------------------+ Tue Oct 1 18:39:33 UTC 2013 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.11.2 for Slackware-current. These packages will not work on Slackware 14.0. I added a few experimental packages which may become a future replacement of the networkmanagement widget. These packages are: libmm-qt, libnm-qt and plasma-nm. I have not tested these, but I invite you to give them a spin. Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! +--------------------------+ Wed Sep 4 22:35:14 UTC 2013 current/kde/kde-runtime: Patched KDE bug 324470 (minimize/maximize by clicking taskbar entries requires double click). +--------------------------+ Sun Sep 1 18:15:53 UTC 2013 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.11.1 for Slackware-current. These packages will not work on Slackware 14.0. Notable enhancements in this new release cycle are: more widespread use of 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 current/kde/amarok: Removed the 2.7.1 package since slackware-current now has a newer release available (2.8.0). current/kde/nepomuk-core: Moved the directory /etc/kde/dbus-1 to /etc/dbus-1 where it belongs. +--------------------------+ Sat Aug 10 09:33:36 UTC 2013 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.11.0 for Slackware-current. These packages will not work on Slackware 14.0. Notable enhancements in this new release cycle are: more widespread use of 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. I removed the calligra packages which were present in my 4.11_rc1 package set, because Slackware-current has been updated to the most recent Calligra release (2.7.1). +--------------------------+ Sun Jul 21 15:30:55 UTC 2013 current/kde/amarok: Patched to fix crashes in KDE 4.11. +--------------------------+ Sun Jul 21 12:50:52 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. +--------------------------+ Wed Jul 17 14:34:02 UTC 2013 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. Four KDE packages have been removed because they have have been split up into smaller individual packages: kdeadmin, kdetoys, kdesdk and kdenetwork. +--------------------------+ Mon Jul 2 00:46:28 UTC 2013 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.10.5 for Slackware 14.0. 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 14.0/kde/kde-runtime: Use -DSAMBA_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/samba-4.0 with cmake to fix building kio_smb.so (fixes the 'invalid protocol' error in Dolphin when typing smb:// URIs). +--------------------------+ Tue Jun 4 18:54:12 UTC 2013 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.10.4 for Slackware 14.0. 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 4.10.3 packages installed then there is only one update besides the KDE Software Compilation: calligra. Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! +--------------------------+ Wed May 15 14:56:21 UTC 2013 14.0/kde/kdelibs: Patched to fix a crash exiting KDE or quitting some apps (KDEBUG 319137) +--------------------------+ Thu May 9 22:11:31 UTC 2013 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.10.3 for Slackware 14.0. 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 4.10.2 packages installed then there are updates in the 'deps' directory, as well as a lot of new stuff in the 'kde' directory. Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! +--------------------------+ Sun Apr 14 21:01:55 UTC 2013 14.0/deps/QScintilla: added to the deps. It needed a recompile against the newer sip package to fix ABI incompatibilities. +--------------------------+ Wed Apr 3 21:01:21 UTC 2013 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.10.2 for Slackware 14.0. 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 4.10.1 packages installed then all you have to upgrade are the packages in the 'kde' directory. Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! +--------------------------+ Thu Mar 7 08:58:55 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. Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! +--------------------------+ 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 4.10.0/kde/kde-workspace: applied a patch to try and fix the "simple locker" behaviour to always require an unlock password, even if "no password" was configured for the screensaver. 4.10.0/kde/nepomuk-core: applied a patch which fixes the broken "recursive file indexing" in Nepomuk. +--------------------------+ Tue Feb 5 20:37:02 UTC 2013 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.10.0 for Slackware 14 and later. The upgrade from Slackware's own 4.8.5 will be 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. Four KDE packages have been removed since the KDE 4.8.5 of Slackware 14: * kdegames has been split up into smaller individual packages since 4.10. * 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. The upgrade from Slackware's own 4.8.5 will be trivial. I added five updated dependencies (akonadi, qt, soprano, shared-desktop-ontologies and virtuoso-ose). I updated several 'extragear' packages compared to Slackware 14: kdevelop, kdevplatform, oxygen-gtk2, and two are all new, oxygen-gtk3 and kio-mtp. Two KDE packages have been removed since the KDE 4.8.5 of Slackware 14: * kdemultimedia has been split up into several smaller individual packages. * ksecrets has been removed completely in the 4.9.x series. Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! +--------------------------+ Wed Dec 5 23:14:15 UTC 2012 4.9.4/kde/kdelibs: applied a patch to fix a bug where .odt and other zip- based files would not open properly in external applications when clicked in dolphin (BUG 311214). Unfortunately the bug was not detected until right after release of KDE 4.9.4. +--------------------------+ Wed Dec 5 11:18:18 UTC 2012 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.9.4 for Slackware 14 and later. The upgrade from Slackware's own 4.8.5 will be trivial. I added five updated dependencies (akonadi, qt, soprano, shared-desktop-ontologies and virtuoso-ose). One of those dependencies has been updated since my previous KDE 4.9.3 packages: qt. I updated several 'extragear' packages compared to Slackware 14, of which two are all new: kdevelop, kdevplatform, oxygen-gtk2, oxygen-gtk3 and kio-mtp. Two KDE packages have been removed since the KDE 4.8.5 of Slackware 14: * kdemultimedia has been split up into several smaller individual packages. * ksecrets has been removed completely in the 4.9.x series. Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! +--------------------------+ Wed Nov 7 08:23:58 UTC 2012 This is the KDE Software Compilation 4.9.3 for Slackware 14 and later. The upgrade from Slackware's own 4.8.5 will be trivial. I added five updated dependencies (akonadi, qt, soprano, shared-desktop-ontologies and virtuoso-ose). Two of those dependencies have been updated since my previous KDE 4.9.2 packages: akonadi and qt. I created several updated 'extragear' packages this time, of which one is all new: kdevelop, kdevplatform, oxygen-gtk2 and oxygen-gtk3. Two KDE packages have been removed since the KDE 4.8.5 of Slackware 14: * kdemultimedia has been split up into several smaller individual packages. * ksecrets has been removed completely in the 4.9.x series. Please read the accompanying README file for detailed installation and upgrade instructions! +--------------------------+ Sat Oct 13 22:35:23 UTC 2012 4.9.2/kde/kross-interpreters: added... once blacklisted for KDE 4.7.1 because of Ruby build errors, I had forgotten to fix the error and re-enable it. +--------------------------+ Tue Oct 2 12:21:34 UTC 2012 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! +--------------------------+ Thu Sep 6 06:46:18 UTC 2012 4.9.1/kde/kde-workspace: patched to fix a major flaw in kwin (kdebugs 306260 and 306275) +--------------------------+ Mon Sep 3 22:07:21 UTC 2012 This is KDE Software Compilation 4.9.1 for Slackware 14-RC4 (and newer). The upgrade from Slackware's own 4.8.5 will be trivial. There are four updated dependencies (akonadi, 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! +--------------------------+ Fri Aug 3 21:53:09 UTC 2012 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 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! +--------------------------+ Wed Jun 27 18:54:19 UTC 2012 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. Read my earlier announcement of KDE 4.8.0 for even more bla^H^H^Hinfo. +--------------------------+ 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. * Updated dependencies with regard to the stable Slackware 13.37 are: PyQt, QScintilla, akonadi, attica, clucene, ebook-tools, hunspell, libdbusmenu-qt, 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. * 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: * You will find three 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) 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-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.

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 git snapshots for kdevplatform, kdevelop and quanta. Use these three 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 4.7.4 and Quanta 3.9.0 ! Last but not least... there is also NetworkManager support now (optionally): I added a small set of packages to a subdirectory called "test".

The README file inside the 4.7.4 directory has all the details. +--------------------------+ Wed Nov 23 18:13:39 UTC 2011 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 instructions! * Several dependencies have been updated since my previous KDE 4.7.2: akonadi, grantlee, libbluedevil, libssh, phonon, shared-desktop-ontologies and upower. * Updated dependencies with regard to the stable Slackware 13.37 are: PyQt, QScintilla, akonadi, attica, clucene, ebook-tools, hunspell, libdbusmenu-qt, 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 polkit-qt package has been moved from "kde" to "deps" since the KDE 4.7.0 release.

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 4.7.3 and Quanta 3.9.0 ! 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 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 4.7.3 directory has all the details. +--------------------------+ Mon Oct 24 21:28:14 UTC 2011 4.7.2/deps/strigi: rebuilt with a patch taken from https://bugs.kde.org/281088 in order to fix "kfilemetadatareader crashes when hovering a PDF in dolphin". Requested by Willy Sudiarto Raharjo. +--------------------------+ Thu Oct 20 20:19:52 UTC 2011 4.6.5/kde/kdeutils: rebuilt after applying a fix for CVE-2011-2725 (* Security fix *) 4.7.2/kde/kdeutils: rebuilt after applying a fix for CVE-2011-2725 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ 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. +--------------------------+ Wed Oct 5 17:38:06 UTC 2011 Release of KDE Software Compilation 4.7.2 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. Please read the accompanying README file for installation and upgrade instructions! * There are two updated dependencies since my KDE 4.7.1: libbluedevil and strigi. * Updated dependencies with regard to the stable Slackware 13.37 are: PyQt, QScintilla, akonadi, attica, clucene, ebook-tools, hunspell, libdbusmenu-qt, 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 polkit-qt package has been moved from "kde" to "deps" since the KDE 4.7.0 release. Some house-keeping stuff that is identical to the previous release but still worthwile to read: * 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.

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 4.7.2 and Quanta 3.9.0 ! +--------------------------+ Sun Sep 25 16:58:15 UTC 2011 4.6.5/kde/kdelibs: applied a fix for CVE-2011-3365 (vulnerability in the kssl kioslave). (* Security fix *) 4.7.1/kde/kdelibs: applied a fix for CVE-2011-3365 (vulnerability in the kssl kioslave). (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Wed Sep 21 11:07:39 UTC 2011 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 KWin - it seems to have been present in all 4.x releases. Read more in http://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2011/08/rendering-at-60-frames/ +--------------------------+ Sat Sep 10 14:24:32 UTC 2011 deps/virtuoso-ose: rebuilt after applying a patch which fixes issues with Unicode pathnames - see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271664. +--------------------------+ Tue Sep 6 19:27:03 UTC 2011 Release of KDE Software Compilation 4.7.1 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. Please read the accompanying README file for installation and upgrade instructions! There are several updated dependencies since my KDE 4.7.0: PyQt, akonadi, clucene, libbluedevil, polkit-qt-1, qt, raptor2, rascal, redland, sip and soprano, Updated dependencies with regard to the stable Slackware 13.37 are: PyQt, QScintilla, akonadi, attica, clucene, ebook-tools, hunspell, libdbusmenu-qt, phonon, polkit-qt-1, qt, raptor2, rascal, redland, shared-desktop-ontologies, sip, soprano, 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 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).

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 Release of KDE Software Compilation 4.7.0 for Slackware. You have to be running Slackware 13.37 (32bit or 64bit) or -current in order to use these packages. They were built on slackware-current! Please read the accompanying README file for installation and upgrade instructions! There are several updated/new dependencies since my KDE 4.6.5: akonadi, phonon, shared-desktop-ontologies, soprano. Updated dependencies with regard to the stable Slackware 13.37 are: PyQt, QScintilla, akonadi, attica, ebook-tools, hunspell, libdbusmenu-qt, phonon, shared-desktop-ontologies, sip, soprano, system-config-printer, virtuoso-ose. Dependencies that are not part of Slackware 13.37 at all (yet): grantlee, herqq (added for KDE 4.7.0), libatasmart, libbluedevil, libssh, sg3_utils, udisks. The polkit-qt package was moved from "kde" to "deps". And finally, two new KDE applications are bluedevil (a GUI for the KDE bluetooth framework), and kplayer (a KDE integrated front-end to mplayer). +--------------------------+ Tue Jul 26 18:26:10 UTC 2011 4.6.5/kde/kdeutils: Rebuilt with a patchset to make kcalc work again. 4.6.5/kdei/kde-l10n-*: Rebuilt because the KDE team released new language sources. +--------------------------+ Thu Jul 7 08:39:01 UTC 2011 Release of KDE Software Compilation 4.6.5 for Slackware. You have to be running Slackware 13.37 (32bit or 64bit) or newer in order to use these packages. They were built on slackware-current. Please read the accompanying README file for installation and upgrade instructions! The stable release 4.6.1 of the kdepim and kdepim-runtime packages is included as well. There are no updated dependencies since KDE 4.6.4. Updated dependencies with regard to the stable Slackware 13.37 are: PyQt, QScintilla, akonadi, attica, ebook-tools, hunspell, libdbusmenu-qt, sip, soprano, system-config-printer, virtuoso-ose. Not part of Slackware 13.37 at all (yet): grantlee, libatasmart, libbluedevil, libssh, sg3_utils, udisks. And bluedevil of course which I added to "kde". +--------------------------+ Sat Jun 11 11:59:11 UTC 2011 4.6.4/deps: Removed an older version of the QScintilla package that was accidentally left in the 32bit packages directory. +--------------------------+ Wed Jun 8 15:27:02 UTC 2011 Release of KDE Software Compilation 4.6.4 for Slackware. You have to be running Slackware 13.37 (32bit or 64bit) or newer in order to use these packages. They were built on -current. Please read the accompanying README file for installation and upgrade instructions! The stable release 4.6.0 of the kdepim and kdepim-runtime packages is included as well. YES! This release has taken a long time to stabilize, after it had basically been re-written from scratch. Updated dependencies since KDE 4.6.3 if you have that installed already: akonadi, libssh. Updated dependencies with regard to the stable Slackware 13.37 are: PyQt, QScintilla, akonadi, attica, ebook-tools, hunspell, libdbusmenu-qt, sip, soprano, system-config-printer, virtuoso-ose. Not part of Slackware 13.37 at all (yet): grantlee, libatasmart, libbluedevil, libssh, sg3_utils, udisks. And bluedevil of course which I added to "kde". +--------------------------+ Sun May 8 00:33:49 UTC 2011 Release of KDE Software Compilation 4.6.3 for Slackware. Have fun with these packages for Slackware 13.37 (comes in 32-bit as well as 64-bit flavours). Please read the accompanying README file for installation and upgrade instructions! Updated dependencies since KDE 4.6.2 if you have that installed already: sip, PyQt, QScintilla. New dependency package since KDE 4.6.2: libbluedevil. Updated dependencies with regard to the stable Slackware 13.37 are: PyQt, QScintilla, akonadi, attica, ebook-tools, hunspell, libdbusmenu-qt, sip, soprano, system-config-printer, virtuoso-ose. Not part of Slackware 13.37 at all (yet): grantlee, libatasmart, libbluedevil, libssh, sg3_utils, udisks. 4.6.3/kde/bluedevil: Added. This is the new bluetooth connection manager. 4.6.3/kde/k3b: Upgraded to the latest snapshot of the 2.0 series. KDE SC 4.4.5 for Slackware 13.1 (and with a bit of effort, 13.0): Removed. Please upgrade your Slackware. +--------------------------+ 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, virtuoso-ose. Other updates from Slackware: PyQt, attica, ebook-tools, hunspell, sip, soprano. 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. +--------------------------+ Sat Jun 12 22:05:42 UTC 2010 KDE SC 4.4.4: added koffice-2.2.0 +--------------------------+ Fri Jun 11 09:55:37 UTC 2010 KDE SC 4.4.85: added the "kdei" sources and SlackBuild for people who want to build a language pack. +--------------------------+ Wed Jun 9 10:19:35 UTC 2010 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 installation instructions in the README. +--------------------------+ Tue May 4 09:34:43 UTC 2010 KDE SC 4.4.3 plus dependencies released for Slackware-current. Follow the installation instructions in the README. +--------------------------+ Wed Apr 14 12:47:56 UTC 2010 kde/kdebase-workspace-4.4.2-x86_64-2alien: Patched critical vulnerability. See See http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20100413-1.txt +--------------------------+ Thu Apr 1 20:41:59 UTC 2010 kde/k3b-1.91.0-x86_64-1alien: Added. +--------------------------+ Thu Apr 1 08:40:26 UTC 2010 KDE4.4.2 plus dependencies released for Slackware-current.
