<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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!</p>
<p>The following big updates were landed in the ports tree this
quarter. In many cases, we have also contributed patches to
the upstream projects.</p>
<ul>
<li>CMake 3.4.2 and 3.5.0</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>KDE Telepathy was updated to 0.9.0 and Telepathy-Qt4 was
updated to 0.9.6.1, the latest upstream releases.</li>
<li>The Qt 5 ports were finally updated to 5.5.1, which were
the latest stable version at the time.</li>
<li>The first commit preparing the groundwork for KDE
Frameworks 5 and Plasma 5
<a href="https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/411156">was
landed to the ports tree</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Users interested in testing those ports are encouraged to
follow the instructions in
<a href="https://freebsd.kde.org/area51.php">our website</a>
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.</p>
