So please clarify for me... If I'm using KDE4 on OSS132 right now, and I'm using KDE:Extras because it has updated versions of applications I'm using, and I *do not want to migrate to Frameworks5 yet*, which repositories am I supposed to use?
Please stop indicating the word migration !!! There is no migration for openSUSE 13.2, except for those people that want to migrate from KDE4 to Plasma5 and install plasma5-session. It seems that people have the feeling that Frameworks5 equals the Plasma5 desktop. Frameworks5 is nothing more than a set of libraries that can easily co-exist with the KDE4 Desktop. Frameworks5 could be seen as an enhancement on top of the Qt libraries. You want to have updated versions of the applications that you are using. Would you still want it if a newer version of that application is requiring the latest Qt5 version instead of Qt4 ? Or would you just install it and not worry about the fact that it pulls in the Qt5 libraries ? More and more applications will become Framework5 based and that has NOTHING to do with running the Plasma5 desktop. Konversation 1.6 is the latest released version, but it depends on a number of Framework libraries. It would still be possible to run this with your KDE4 desktop, however additional libraries will be pulled in.
(I have tried to try out Frameworks5... I added the frameworks5 repo, and installed the frameworks5 session schema, and I couldn't even login... so no, not yet.)
Well, As indicated Frameworks5 is NOT the desktop !! Plasma5 is the Desktop, so lets call the things by their right names. KDE Frameworks are a set of libraries to provide additional functionality on top of the Qt platform. Almost all packages here start with lib.... to indicate that they are nothing more than just libraries. KDE Plasma is the name for the Desktop and provides all the programs needed to run the Plasma Desktop environment. Packages here are krunner, plasma- workspace, plasma-desktop, etc KDE Applications is the name for those applications that are being released by the KDE community. Examples of packages are Kate, Konsole, Gwenview, Ksystemlog, Dolphin, juk, kmahjongg, etc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
