Frameworks/Coinstallability

KDE Frameworks 5 and Plasma 2 co-installability

It should be possible to install a kde frameworks 5 runtime alonside a kdelibs 4 runtime so apps can use either one

Dependencies:

Qt libraries it depends on already have two versions with different sonames or different names

• phonon - rename done
• attica - rename done
• dbusmenu - rename done
• oxygen-icons - just install the latest version
• qimageblitz - rename done
• libstream and libstreamanalyzer - not qt libraries so ABI the same and no rename needed
• grantlee - not ported to Qt 5 but it is only used for a test which is disabled.
• polkit-qt-1 - collides with Qt4 counterpart, both by name and soname

KDE Frameworks 5

data files:

Most install into DATA_INSTALL_DIR which can be made version specific, e.g. /usr/share/kde4/ and /usr/share/kdeframeworks5

• share/LICENSES/ DATA_INSTALL_DIR
• share/kcharselect/kcharselect-data DATA_INSTALL_DIR
• share/ksgmltools2 DATA_INSTALL_DIR
• share/xmlgui/pics/aboutkde.png DATA_INSTALL_DIR
• share/khtml/ DATA_INSTALL_DIR
• share/kssl/ DATA_INSTALL_DIR
• share/kconfigwidgets DATA_INSTALL_DIR (and changed dir name)
• share/knewstuff/pics DATA_INSTALL_DIR
• share/kconf_update DATA_INSTALL_DIR
• share/kjava DATA_INSTALL_DIR
• share/proxyscout/ DATA_INSTALL_DIR
• share/kcm_componentchooser/ DATA_INSTALL_DIR
• share/kdewidgets/ DATA_INSTALL_DIR

These are files which can be shared between kdelibs 4 and kde frameworks 5

• share/locale/ can be shared
• share/mime/packages/kde.xml can be shared
• share/icons/hicolor/ - kimproxy icons can be shared
• share/doc can be shared
• etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.kde.auth.conf can be shared
• etc/xdg/ can be shared

Some files are only needed for developers where the kdelibs and kdeframeworks packages can be made to conflict

• share/dbus-1/interfaces/ dev files
• share/kauth/ dev files and DATA_INSTALL_DIR
• share/cmake/modules/ dev files and DATA_INSTALL_DIR

binaries:

Some are renamed already or a new:

• bin/kdeinit5_shutdown
• bin/kbuildsycoca5
• bin/kdeinit5_wrapper
• bin/meinproc5
• bin/kdeinit5
• bin/kf5-config
• bin/kded5
• bin/desktoptojson
• bin/kshell5
• bin/kwrapper5
• bin/kcookiejar5 (arguably a developer only binary)

Some are developer only binaries, the -dev package can be mutually exclusive:

• bin/makekdewidgets
• bin/checkXML
• bin/preparetips
• bin/kconfig_compiler
• bin/kjs
• bin/kjscmd

Kross is probably unimportant enough to just swap for KF5 version, this can be used to run some non-GUI kross scripts

• bin/kross

Some are interchangeable binaries:

• bin/kmailservice
• bin/ktelnetservice

libraries:

All libraries renamed and versioned to 5.0.0

set some cmake variables to keep various bits separate

• plugins/ needs QT_PLUGIN_INSTALL_DIR set
• lib/cmake needs CMAKECONFIG_INSTALL_DIR set
• lib/qml/org/kde/solid/libsolidextensionplugin.so new file
• libexec can be put in a kf5 directory with LIBEXEC_INSTALL_DIR

KActivities

kdelibs 4 and kde frameworks 5 versions are co-installable

• developer files in include/ and lib/pkgconfig and lib/cmake/ will be mutually exclusive
• plugins installed into plugins/kf5 to keep them separate
• kactivities library has been renamed with capital letters and new SONAME
• kactivitymanagerd can be shared between libkactivities in kde4 and in kf5, it has the same same dbus interface
• share/ontologies/kao* can be shared

kde-runtime

Much of kde-runtime is yet to be ported

binaries

renamed binaries

• kcmshell5

interchangeable binaries, packagers should use the version from kde sc 5 and drop the version from kde sc 4

• kdecp
• kdemv
• kdeopen
• kioclient
• ktrash

plugins

• kioexec set a separate LIBEXEC_INSTALL_DIR
• plugins/kf5 set a separate PLUGIN_INSTALL_DIR

data files

• jpegcreatorsettings.kcfg set a separate KCFG_INSTALL_DIR e.g. /usr/share/kf5/config.kcfg
• kcmlocale/pics/background.png set a separate DATA_INSTALL_DIR
• .desktop and .protocol files set SERVICES_INSTALL_DIR to e.g. /usr/share/kde5/services

developer files

• org.kde.KTimeZoned.xml interface file, no longer installed https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/113819/

KDE Workspace

Not co-installable, the whole point is to have Plasma 2 and the workspace ported to KF5

KControl Modules

Various KControl modules in kde-runtime and kde-workspace need ported to KF5.

They will then edit files in the kf5 settings directory ~/.config/kf5 and not kde 4 settings. For some it might be useful to share settings, a symlink from e.g. ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals to ~/.config/kf5/kdeglobals may work if the config values are the same.
