<p dir="ltr">Decided to give kf5 a go on my system. I was wondering, do I have to go back to kdepim4? I get a message that the new akonadi needs qt5-webengine, which hasn't been ported yet. </p>

<br />
- Get area51. Get the plasma5/ branch, because it's where the current state-<br />
of-the-art lives.<br />
- (optional) get a separate ports checkout somewhere<br />
- in the plasma5/ checkout, run<br />
$ sh Tools/scripts/kdemerge -a /path/to/ports<br />
This will merge all the KDE area51 ports into that ports tree (which is why<br />
you might want to use a separate ports checkout, so it's easy to undo).<br />
- For the biggest effect, build x11/kde5<br />
- It might be good to switch off your display manager (if you have one already<br />
on your FreeBSD system) and using startx for a bit. You probably just need<br />
exec /usr/local/bin/startkde in .xinitrc (note that the plasma5 branch shuffles<br />
some KDE4 ports around, and what used to be startkde becomes startkde4).<br /></blockquote><div>There are also packages provided by swills@ which might be the fastest way to </div><div>give it a go:</div><div>There is a script to add the repo here [if I picked the right one]:</div><div><a href="https://gist.github.com/swills/8a9a9f8a529256f134830c2a1476db0c">https://gist.github.com/swills/8a9a9f8a529256f134830c2a1476db0c</a> </div><div>or you can of course also manually add/modify a repo.conf.</div><div><br /></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb( 204 , 204 , 204 );padding-left:1ex">

I think tcb uses plasma5 on FreeBSD as his primary desktop, so "most" things<br />
apparently work. I've got to admit to sticking with KDE4 desktop, mostly out<br />
of inertia.<br /></blockquote><div>Indeed I do :) -- things mostly seem to work.</div><div> </div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb( 204 , 204 , 204 );padding-left:1ex">
