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

+ +

While the list of updates is shorter compared to the previous + quarter, the team remained busy and work on KDE Frameworks 5 + and Plasma 5 continues.

+ +

This quarter, Tobias Berner, who has been driving our KDE + Frameworks 5 and Plasma 5 efforts from the beginning, received + a KDE commit bit, and has been putting it to good use by + upstreaming FreeBSD across several KDE repositories. Another + team highlight in the beginning of this year is the + (re)addition of another committer to our experimental + repository: Adriaan de Groot, a longtime KDE contributor who + also used to work on KDE and FreeBSD almost a decade ago when + our team was first formed. Welcome back, Ade!

+ +

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 3.4.2 and 3.5.0
Calligra 2.9.11, the latest release of the integrated work + applications suite. We have managed to keep in sync with + the upstream releases since 2.9.10.
KDE Telepathy was updated to 0.9.0 and Telepathy-Qt4 was + updated to 0.9.6.1, the latest upstream releases.
The Qt 5 ports were finally updated to 5.5.1, which were + the latest stable version at the time.
The first commit preparing the groundwork for KDE + Frameworks 5 and Plasma 5 + was + landed to the ports tree.

+ +

In our experimental area51 repository, work on Qt 5.6.0 is + underway in our experimental repositories. Additionally, at + the time of writing it also contains KDE Frameworks 5.20.0, + Plasma 5.6.1 and KDE Applications 16.03.80.

+ +

Users interested in testing those ports are encouraged to + follow the instructions in + our website + and report their results to our mailing list. Qt5 5.6.0 is in + our "qt-5.6" branch, and Plasma 5 and the rest is in the + "plasma5" branch.

+ + + + +

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

+ + + +

Commit the DigiKam 4.14.0 update currently being worked on + in our experimental repository.
