[Kstars-devel] Porting KStars to KF5

Wed Aug 13 05:43:01 UTC 2014

Hi Vijay,

I updated the page on KF5 porting, we're almost there, but
whatsupinteresting and moonphase tool and calender requires porting to KF5
still. I think once these are ported, we can merge all changes back to
master and focus of fixing bugs.

Regards,
Jasem
