CRUX ports for KF5

As of now, this consists of the base KF5 Frameworks libraries, Plasma and a few ported applications I use daily

Requirements

Make sure the git package is installed, or you won't be able to clone the repository.

Installation

Make sure you have enabled the contrib repository, as some packages depend on it. In /etc/ports, rename the file contrib.rsync.inactive into contrib.rsync:

mv contrib.rsync.inactive contrib.rsync

Remember to also notice prt-get of the newly added repository. Edit /etc/prt-get.conf, uncommenting the line #prtdir /usr/ports/contrib:

Now update your ports tree and your system:

ports -u
prt-get sysup

Once that is done, you're ready to add the kf5 repo. Download the kf5.git file into /etc/ports:

cd /etc/ports
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tsaop/crux-kf5/master/kf5.git

Update the ports tree again with ports -u

As before, notify prt-get of the new repo, by adding the line prtdir /usr/ports/kf5 before every other port directory.

You can now install KF5 by typing:

prt-get depinst frameworks-meta plasma-meta applications-meta --install-scripts

For your convenience I've made three metapackages respectively for frameworks libraries, plasma desktop and applications.

Please note that only a handful of KF5 applications are packaged. More will follow.

Running

Once everything is compiled, you can now try to start your fresh KF5 environment.

In order to do so, add dbus to the SERVICES array in /etc/rc.conf:

SERVICES=(lo crond dbus [...]) 

After that, login as a regular user and edit your .xinitrc as follows:

ck-launch-session dbus-launch startkde

Finally, launch Xorg with startx and hopefully you should be presented with a Breeze themed splash screen and, ultimately, the Plasma Desktop.
