Problems of KDE software on MacPorts
Why this page?
This page was initiated by this post on KDE-MAC and a PM discussion regarding Randa Meetings participation of MacPorts developers. It shall serve as a place to highlight certain KDE software related tickets which need special attention in order to bring the integration of KDE software on MacPorts forward.
Special maintainer/developer information - which is not covered in the KDE wiki page - could be gathered here.
Tickets for specific KDE software issues
All ticket information has been moved to a dedicated page.
Upcoming new version 4.13 of KDE applications
There are ongoing discussions on KDE-DEVEL about
- the upcoming replacement of nepomuk by baloo and
- options to disable baloo on OSX or reconfigure it in such a way that there is no interference with OSX' Spotlight
Continuous Integration of KDE software
KDE's developers are running a Jenkins-based CI system for the most of the KDE software. While this is already fully functioning for Linux a similar Windows-CI system is in a similar state to the idea of a CI system for KDE application on Mac(ports).
There is also a set of code-vetting software called English Breakfast Network (EBN, for short) which supports all developers in writing cleaner code and documentation.
The KDE community has plans to introduce CI of KDE software also on OSX. Currently there is an ongoing discussion on KDE-DEVEL about this. MacPort's key developers' expertise regarding the setup of their buildbots could perhaps be helpful for the KDE folks. On the other hand one might also run Jenkins on OSX and adapt its configuration to the KDE software's requirements.
Qt5 and KF5
The new Qt5 eventually leads to the new still-under-construction KDE Frameworks.
NOTE: At this stage there is not yet an official Qt5 port for MacPorts available due to lack of resources.
#37331 - Discussions about a possible portfile for qt5-mac
homebrew-kf5 - Already existing recipies for KF5 on Homebrew
