Project:KDE/Frameworks

KDE Frameworks 5 (KF5) is the next major release of the KDE libraries. The major focus is refactoring, which will allow applications to make use of KDE libraries without having to depend on large packages like kdelibs.

All Gentoo support for KF5 is currently in the frameworks branch of the KDE overlay.

Current status
The first stage is to package kdelibs, which has been split into individual libraries organised in tiers. kensington is currently packaging tier 1 libraries.

Naming scheme
We need to determine a new naming scheme for live ebuilds, as repositories slowly move to KF5 in master. Does anybody remember why we use 4.x.49.9999 vs 4.x.9999?

Current scheme:
 * 4.x.49.9999 (KDE/4.x branch)
 * 9999 (master aka KDE/4.x+1)

Suggested scheme:
 * 4.x.49.9999 (KDE/4.x branch)
 * 4.9999 (old master aka KDE/4.x+1)
 * 9999 (master aka KF5)
