Well, here we get into the difficulty. The libraries were designed and ported to Frameworks with the idea/setup to be co-installable. The applications however where never designed for this. So Kate5 actually still installs the binary /usr/bin/kate, which also Kate4 does.
One could of course easily say, that you could have Kate4 install into a different prefix. Maybe, question would be if this also means that the libraries should be installed in this specific prefix. In order to set this up and validate if it works together with a standard desktop takes time. Time that we might have or not have. The team itself is very small and we rely on volunteers to do this specific setups for us. Wolfgang was so helpful to set up a specific repository which could be used for a complete co-installable Plasma5 experience. I am not sure if he would be willing to set up something similar for KDE4 applications. On the other hand, I have seen that porting work has started on Krusader, so maybe we have a Plasma5 based Krusader when we make the switch.
Raymond, Thanx for your response. Unfortunately, krusader has a rather big codebase and very few developers, and especially unfortunately for me that I have very different background and cannot help them with porting. But I'll experiment on OBS and if I'll have some luck having krusader under plasma5 - I'll report back, maybe it will help others as well. -- Regards, Stas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
