[Kstars-devel] Porting KStars to KF5

[Jasem Mutlaq]

Folks,

After more tinkering, KStars now finally runs albeit with a LOT of stuff
disabled. I will try to re-enable them one by one and would start with the
easiest to get them out of the way. The QML stuff needs to be ported to KF5
since I have very little experience in QML, I will stay away from it. I'll
mark the things that I cannot port myself.

Regards,
Jasem
