KDE Applications 5 transition (15 minutes)

 * Upstream release are a mix out of Slot 4 and Slot 5
 * kde-apps:4 <-> kde-apps:5 approach
 * kde-base:4 <-> kde-apps:5 approach

Option 1
Split into kde-base:4 and kde-apps:5

Pros

 * Easy for users to stick to getting partial KDE 4 updates if they want to avoid KF5
 * Clearer separation of what's KDE 4 and KF5-based

Cons

 * Diverging from upstream by not using Applications as a whole
 * KDE 4 users miss out on updates from ported applications
 * It's not clear what happens once there's both kde-base and kde-apps version - will there eventually be a pkgmove? (when?)

Option 2
Add kde-apps as a pkgmove from kde-base

Pros

 * Smoothest upgrade for users (no intervention required)

Cons

 * A lot of upfront work
 * Will result in SC packages in kde-apps (eg. kde-apps/kcalc-4.14.3)

Bugs (15 minutes)

 * General bug tracker for the meeting is


 * - many functions were introduced before usex was available. Discuss/vote deprecating functions easily replaced with -DLibFoo=$(usex foo)
