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.

+ +

The team kept busy during the last quarter of 2015. Quite + a few big updates were committed to the ports tree, and a few more + are being worked on in our experimental repository.

+ +

As in previous quarters, we would like to thank several + people who have contributed with machines, patches and general + help. Tobias Berner, &a.madpilot; (madpilot@), Adriaan de Groot, Ralf + Nolden, &a.swills; (swills@), and &a.jpaetzel; (jpaetzel@) have been + essential to our work.

+ +

The following big updates were landed in the ports tree + this quarter. In many cases, we have also contributed patches to + the upstream projects.

+ +

CMake 3.4.0 and 3.4.1
Calligra 2.9.1, the latest release of the integrated + work applications suite. Calligra had last been updated in the + ports tree in the end of 2013!
PyQt4 4.11.4, QScintilla2 2.9.1 and SIP 4.17.
PyQt5 5.5.1. Thanks to the work spearheaded by Guido + Falsi and Tobias Berner in the previous quarter, the PyQt5 ports + have finally been committed to the ports tree. Not only was this + long-awaited on its own, but it also allows other ports to be + updated to their latest versions.
QtCreator 3.5.1 and 3.6.0.
A couple of Qt5 packaging bugs were fixed: it should now + be more straightforward to use the Qt5 ports to build software + outside the ports tree, and it is now possible to build ports that + require a C++11 compiler and Qt5 on &os; 9.x.

+ +

Work on updating the Qt5 ports to their latest version, as + well as porting KDE Frameworks 5 and Plasma 5 to &os;, is well + underway in our experimental area51 repository. At the moment, it + contains Qt5 5.5.1, KDE Frameworks 5.17.0, Plasma 5.5.1 and KDE + Applications 15.12.0.

+ +

Users interested in testing those ports are encouraged to + follow the instructions in + our website and + report their results to our mailing list. Qt5 5.5.1 is in our + "qt-5.5" branch, and Plasma 5 and the rest is in + the "plasma5" branch (which also contains Qt 5.5.1).

+ + + + +

Commit the Qt5 5.5.1 update.

+ + + +

Land the KDE Frameworks 5 and Plasma 5 ports to the + tree.

+ + + +

Investigate what needs to be done to make QtWebEngine, + the Chromium-based replacement for QtWebKit, work on &os;.
