KDE Applications 5 transition (15 minutes)

• Upstream releases 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)

Option 3

• Do not package not KF5 ported apps

Pros

• Clearest separation of what's KDE SC 4 and KF5-based
• Lowest packaging effort

Cons

• Slot 4 apps won't get some bug fixes

Bugs (15 minutes)

• General bug tracker for the meeting is bug #460994

• bug #514384 - many functions were introduced before usex was available. Discuss/vote deprecating functions easily replaced with -DLibFoo=$(usex foo)
