KDE's April 2020 Apps Update
A new bundle of KDE applications is here! In these releases, you can expect to
find more features, stability improvements, and more user-friendly tools that
will help you work more effectively.
There are dozens of changes to look forward to in most of your favorite
applications. Take Dolphin, for example. Windows Samba shares are now fully
discoverable.
On the topic of playing music: the Elisa music player is adding features by
leaps and bounds. This release brings a new “Now Playing” view, easy
accessibility through the system tray, and an option to minimize the playlist
whenever you want. Thanks to the recently-added visual shuffle mode, it’s much
easier to rearrange your music in the playlists.
These are just the highlights of what’s new in KDE’s applications this month.
Read on to find out about everything we’ve prepared for you.

- Tidy use of CMake helpers
- Shuffle bits around some
- Make the default backend match the selected / enabled backends. For
users of the default configuration this doesn't matter (builds MySQL,
defaults to MySQL) but SQLite users who switch off MySQL still got
MySQL as the backend.

New versions of KDE applications landing in December
The release of new versions for KDE applications is part of KDE’s continued
effort to bring you a complete and up-to-date catalog of fully-featured,
beautiful and useful programs for your system.
Available now are new versions of KDE’s file browser Dolphin; Kdenlive, one of
the most complete open source video editors; the document viewer Okular; KDE’s
image viewer, Gwenview; and all of your other favorite KDE apps and utilities.
All of these applications have been improved, making them faster and more
stable and they boast exciting new features. The new versions of KDE
applications let you be productive and creative, while at the same time making
use of KDE software easy and fun.
We hope you enjoy all the novel features and improvements worked into all of
KDE’s apps!

as defined in Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk which has moved from GCC 8.3
to GCC 9.1 under most circumstances now after revision 507371.
This includes ports
- with USE_GCC=yes or USE_GCC=any,
- with USES=fortran,
- using Mk/bsd.octave.mk which in turn features USES=fortran, and
- with USES=compiler specifying openmp, nestedfct, c11, c++0x, c++11-lang,

plus, everything INDEX-11 shows with a dependency on lang/gcc9 now.

a symbol matches multiple clauses the last one takes precedence. If the
catch-all is last it captures everything. In the case of Qt5 libraries
this caused all symbols to have a Qt_5 label while some should have
Qt_5_PRIVATE_API. This only affects lld because GNU ld always gives the
catch-all lowest priority.
Older versions of Qt5Webengine exported some memory allocation symbols from
the bundled Chromium. Version 5.9 stopped exporting these [1] but the
symbols were kept as weak wrappers for the standard allocation functions to
maintain binary compatibility. [2][3] The problem is that the call to the
standard function in these weak wrappers is only resolved to the standard
function if there's a call to this standard function in other parts of
Qt5Webengine, because only then is there a non-weak symbol that takes
precedence over the weak one. If there's no such non-weak symbol the call
in the weak wrapper resolves to the weak wrapper itself creating an infinite
call loop that overflows the stack and causes a crash. Some of the
allocation functions are variants of C++ new and delete and it probably
depends on the compiler whether these variants are used in other parts of
Qt5Webengine.
Remove the weak wrappers (make them Linux specific). This isn't binary
compatible but we are already breaking that with the changes to the symbol
versions.

Ports that build out of source now simply can use "USES=cmake"
instead of "USES=cmake:outsource". Ports that fail to build
out of source now need to specify "USES=cmake:insource".
I tried to only set insource where explictely needed.

From now on, ports that depend on Qt4 will have to set
USES= qt:4
USE_QT= foo bar
ports depending on Qt5 will use
USES= qt:5
USE_QT= foo bar

Plasma5 ports
At the moment KDE ports use bsd.kde4.mk to handle their dependencies. When
working on the ports for KDE Frameworks and Plasma5 it seemed to be more
reasonable to create a new kde.mk instead of adding an bsd.kde5.mk.
The kde.mk in this review is a stripped down version of the one we are using in
the KDE Test repositories plasma5 branch [1] to only contain the parts relevant
to the current KDE4 ports in the portstree [2].
Changes to the KDE Ports needed by this:
Replace USE_KDE4 by USE_KDE [3]
Add USES=kde:4 [4]
[1] http://src.mouf.net/area51/view/branches/plasma5/KDE/Mk/Uses/kde.mk
[2] The version in the plasma5 branch also handles frameworks/plasma5 and
handles MASTER_SITES via a KDE_DIST variable similar to bsd.qt.mk for Qt
Ports -- I chose to leave this out for now, as the diff is already large
enough.
[3] I chose USE_KDE instead of USE_KDE4, USE_KDE5, USE_KDEX as the version we
want is already specified as argument to kde:<arg>
[4] For KDE Frameworks and Plasma5 ports this would be kde:5
