The KAccounts patches were merged and that makes the frameworks branch
effectively hard-depend on it.

This will require a manual migration of the accounts however, here's a
how-to:

1) Install all the dependencies

* all the info is at https://community.kde.org/KTp/Setting_up_KAccounts
* please fix/report anything that you encouter being wrong

2) Rebuild and reinstall KTp parts

* concerns ktp-auth-handler, ktp-accounts-kcm, ktp-common-internals

3) Remove your old accounts (I'm not sure about logs state, needs checking)

 * for i in `mc-tool list`; do mc-tool remove $i; done

4) Recreate them in KAccounts

* run kcmshell5 kaccounts
* add the accounts back

All should work as before.

Please report any troubles you run into.

Cheers
