[Kstars-devel] Porting KStars to KF5

[Vijay]

Morning guys !!

I am working on fixing bugs and polishing Moon Phase tool, Solar system viewer, 
and Almanac in Randa Meetup 2014. You can checkout new version of this tools 
in "gsoc2014-vijay13" and "gsoc2013-vijay13-weather" branches. Please shoot me 
with bugs. 

And I thank and request to people porting KStars into KF5 to update status on 
https://community.kde.org/KDEEdu/RouteToKF5.

Cheers,
Vijay
