This is a large, but still intermediate commit for KDE6 (kf6 and plasma6).
These are the key changes:
Update kf6 dependencies.
Remove kuserfeedback (it is now a part of kf6).
Move libdbusmenu-qt to General Libraries. It is still needed for LXQt, but
will be remmoved when LXQt moves to Qt6 and LF6/Plasma6.
Made some changes to bluez to use &root;.
Commented out kmix, libkcddb, and k3b. These are still kf5 apps and would
require adding back most of kf5 to the book. It's easier to just wait for
these to be updated to qt6/kf6.
Removed references to the full qt5 package in LXQt packages. It mkes no sense
now that Qt6 is in the book to also build the full (deprecated) Qt5 package.
It may makes sense to just remove the full Qt5 package from th ebook now.
Renamed an internal referece from plasma5-build to just plasma-build in polkit
and mesa.
There are still a few packages that need testing and the book updated.
The kf6 adn plasma packages referenced in LXQt are incorrect and need
to be changed to reference kf5 packages for now.
Note that there is a new package, plasma-activities, that is needed in
the kde-gear section, but needed to be taken from the plasma6 set of
packages.
kio-extras is no longer needed for the packages in the book.
Some notes:
- proftpd has been supporting PCRE2 since 1.3.8a.
- bluefish actually invokes PCRE via Glib, so since Glib was ported
from PCRE1 to PCRE2 bluefish has been using PCRE2 in fact.
- zsh and rasqal will support PCRE2 in the next release. For zsh pcre
is not used with book instruction anyway, and for rasqal the
maintainer suggests just relying on Glibc regex.h before the next
release.
- The other distros (Fedora for eg) are already disabling PCRE for
slang.
This update replaces kf5. In doing so there are several packages
in BLFS that are broken, notably the LXQt packages that reference
kf5 packages.
Trying to maintain kf5 and kf6 in the book is more effort than it
is worth. For those that want the kf5 based elements, blfs-12.1
still works.
Several packages were updated to build with qt6 so they are not available
for packages that need the qt5 versions, These include qca, polkit-qt, and
phonon. A couple of packages that are no longer needed for kf6 are still
in the book: kuserfeedback and libdbusmenuqt.
Many filenames still need to be changed, e.g. kf5-frameworks.xml, as
well as xml defined identifiers.
Later when LXQt releases their qt6/kf6 based packages, then we will
do a scrub of all the book internals to make names consistent.
For some reason, although XDG_DATA_DIRS contains /opt/kf5/share and
xdg-desktop-portal should use config files from XDG_DATA_DIRS,
xdg-desktop-portal-kde is not started unless the configuration files are
copied to /usr/share. Do that after building plasma (as we already fo
for the .desktop files). We don't copy but just symlink them...
Although libxcvt is required for xwayland, xwayland is only a runtime
dependency of plasma, so can be built later and pull libxcvt in later.
But kwin requires libxcvt at build time.
Update to plasma-wayland-protocols-1.12.0.
Update to plasma5-5.27.10.
Update to kde gear-23.08.4 including kate, kwave, and falkon.
Update to kf5-5.113.0.
neither firefox nor epiphany can download them, and they are not
well maintained, because rarely tested.
This is WIP because the "(HTTP)" part of "Download (HTTP)" will
need to be removed too.
But let's see what users think first...
1. Remove redundant paragraph for Cantarell, left over from when it
was at gnome (latest gnome versions do not ship the fonts, only
the source - prepared TTF fonts are at Google fonts).
2. Reword the old KDE comment in Noto fonts, replace by mentioning
that Noto fonts are preferred for everything in KDE Plasma and
applications, except for monospace - and add link to Hack for that.
3. Comment Oxygen fonts.
