Dolphin needs:
* kdelibs4 Konsole part * kdelibs4 kactivities lib * kdelibs4 Baloo * kdelibs4 Baloo-Widgets * kdelibs4 KFileMetaData
gwenview baloo backend is not compiled by default
* Does baloo backend compile at all? I think Vishesh said it needs post Plasma5.1 baloo * Doesn't use kdcraw since there's no KF5 version yet * Doesn't compile on Ubuntu Vivid due to faulty packaging of phonon4qt5 * Needs KF5.4
kde-l10n packages need some improvements:
* install analitza_qt as a proper Qt translation * sr package is broken for kf5 apps * kde-l10n-de kde-l10n-it kde-l10n-nl kde-l10n-sv kde-l10n-uk Don't build do a bug on how i build the mixed tarballs
parley
* [Albert] Could not test if it builds since Ubuntu Vivid doesn't have a kross KF5 package
Analitza
* coninstallable file wise with analitza from 4.14 for apps that need analitza based in kdelibs4 (cantor) But only one "devel" package can be installed since both install cmake files to two valid different places, otherwise cantor finds KF5 analitza and gets confused. Will ping Aleix to see if we can get it fixed for next Beta
kfilemetada 4.14 and Plasma5.1 are coinstallable
kdeedu-data and libkdeedu have icons conflict
* Hopefully fixed in next beta
