KDE Frameworks 5 and Plasma 2 co-installability

It should be possible to install a kde frameworks 5 runtime alonside a kdelibs 4 runtime so apps can use either one

Many paths have changed by default so there is no clash

  • kdelibs 4 CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR: /usr/share/config
  • kf5 CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR: /etc/xdg
  • kdelibs 4 DATA_INSTALL_DIR: /usr/share/apps
  • kf5 DATA_INSTALL_DIR: /usr/share

HTML_INSTALL_DIR does clash as /usr/share/doc/HTML to allow khelpcentre to find docs from both kdelibs4 land and kf5 land

kio

  • /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/kioslave/ will clash unless distros change docs install path (as debian does)

kdelibs4support

  • /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/kdebugdialog will clash, manual merge request

kactivities

khelpcenter

This does not co-install with kdelibs4 version, but is not intended to.

kde-cli-tools

clashing files with kde 4's kde-runtime:

  • /usr/share/man/man1/kdesu.1
  • /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/kdesu/index.docbook
  • /usr/bin/keditfiletype
  • /usr/share/kde5/services/filetypes.desktop
  • /usr/bin/kmimetypefinder
  • /usr/bin/ktraderclient
  • /usr/bin/kioclient
  • /usr/bin/kdecp
  • /usr/bin/kdemv
  • /usr/bin/kde-open
  • /usr/bin/ksvgtopng
  • /usr/bin/kstart
