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.

- While here, remove the patches to install the headers in a prefix;
there currently is only one grantlee version in the tree, so no
reason to make life harder for ourselves.
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!

In r514669 the two ports were moved in the following way:
- net/kcontacts -> net/kf5-kcontacts
- net/kcalcore -> net/kf5-kcalendarcore
Force rebuild of their consumers.
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,
c++11-lib, c++14-lang, c++17-lang, or gcc-c++11-lib
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.

Bump all ports that depend on Qt5.

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.

defined via Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk which has moved from GCC 7.4 t
GCC 8.2 under most circumstances.
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,

- There was no obvious reason to split these ports, and it makes
porting simpler; the set of ports using either mostly coincided.

in the ports tree (via Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk and lang/gcc) which
has now moved from GCC 6 to GCC 7 by default.
This includes ports
- featuring USE_GCC=yes or USE_GCC=any,
- featuring USES=fortran,
- using Mk/bsd.octave.mk which in turn features USES=fortran, and those
- with USES=compiler specifying one of openmp, nestedfct, c11, c++0x,
c++11-lib, c++11-lang, c++14-lang, c++17-lang, or gcc-c++11-lib.

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

This is the current version of KDE Applications <foo>.
Note that users of KDE SC4 should stick with <foo>-kde4.
This adds a slew of KDE Pim related ports and some of their dependencies.
Note, that KDE Pim has a history of working poorly on FreeBSD.
