The KDE on &os; team focuses on packaging and making sure + that the experience of KDE and Qt on &os; is as good as + possible.

+ +

This quarter, in addition to the regular updates to the KDE, + Qt and related ports, there have also been some changes behind + the scenes: our development repository has moved to GitHub, + and &os; is now part of KDE's official continuous integration + (CI infrastructure).

+ +

After the X.Org and GNOME ports teams, the KDE on &os; team + has moved its development repository to GitHub. This should + make it easier for others to collaborate with us via pull + requests, and by basing all our changes on top of the official + ports tree we also hope this reduces the amount of conflicts + and churn we need to deal with when landing big updates across + the tree. We would like to thank iXsystems for hosting and + supporting our area51 Subversion repository for many + years.

+ +

&os; has finally joined KDE's CI (Continuous Integration) + system as a tier-1 platform. KDE CI builds all the KDE + sources — 70 frameworks, the KDE Plasma Desktop and a + plethora of KDE Applications — continuously, straight + from KDE's git repositories. There is strong commitment from + upstream and the downstream KDE-&os; team to reduce the amount + of patching in the KDE ports to as little as possible. The + first effects are being felt in expanding unittests to + &os;-specific situations, and in extending Qt to handle &os; + filesystems better. In addition to the KDE sysadmins, we + would also like to extend our thanks to Adriaan de Groot, who + is both a KDE committer and part of our KDE on &os; team, for + spearheading the efforts.

+ +

The following big updates were landed in the ports tree this + quarter:

+ +

CMake was updated to 3.8.0 and 3.8.2
KDE Frameworks were updated to 5.33, 5.34 and 5.35
The Calligra office suite was updated to 3.0.1, the first + release in the ports tree to be based on KDE Frameworks 5, + and the latest stable release upstream
The Konversation IRC client was updated to 1.7.2, the + latest upstream release and the first ports version based on + KDE Frameworks 5
KchmViewer was updated to 7.7, which is based on KDE + Frameworks 5
LabPlot was updated to 2.3.0 and 2.4.0, and is now based + on KDE Frameworks 5
QtCreator was upated to 4.2.2 and subsequently to + 4.3.0
py-sip was updated to 4.19.2, PyQt4 to 4.12 and PyQt5 to + 5.7.1
Several fixes for ARMv6 were landed to the Qt4 and Qt5 + ports — thanks to Mikaël Urankar

+ +

After several review rounds and exp-runs, Tobias Berner + (tcberner@) finally made the Ninja generator the default for + CMake-based ports, so that devel/ninja is used + instead of (g)make in most cases. This + should make most builds faster, even if only by a small margin. + Adriaan de Groot also wrote a blog post about the change.
