Homebrew KDE

Sponsor: Albert Astals Cid

A third-party Homebrew repo (tap), that allows to install KDE software on macOS systems.

Team

Yurii Kolesnykov is the only active contributor, but there is also some seasoned contributors from time to time.

Manifesto Compliance Plan

Values

Open Governance

We plan to perform discussion via:

Free Software

  • Homebrew KDE is licensed under BSD 2-Clause License. According to KDE Licensing Policy BSD 2-clause is acceptable.

Inclusivity

Anyone is free to contribute, and anyone can use it.

Innovation

KDE is still new and very experimental on Mac systems and it provides an easy install process for Mac users. More technical part of Mac users is already have Homebrew installed, which is one best package managers for Mac.

Common Ownership

Anyone can help out, anyone can contribute, report bugs, active contributors may request commiter rights.

End-User Focus

Homebrew KDE tries to make enrollment to it and installation of KDE software as easy as possible and automates all hard routine work under the hood.
