Hi!

Code: Select all
sudo apt install amarok


gives this:

The following additional packages will be installed:
amarok-common amarok-utils docbook-xml docbook-xsl enchant fonts-dejavu fonts-dejavu-extra icoutils kate-data
katepart kde-runtime kde-runtime-data kdelibs-bin kdelibs5-plugins kdemultimedia-kio-plugins kdoctools
kio-audiocd libcanberra-pulse libenchant1c2a libgpod-common libgpod4 libkactivities6 libkatepartinterfaces4
libkdeclarative5 libkdesu5 libkdewebkit5 libkdnssd4 libkemoticons4 libkfile4 libkhtml5 libkjsapi4 libkjsembed4
libkmediaplayer4 libknewstuff3-4 libknotifyconfig4 libkntlm4 libkrosscore4 libktexteditor4 libkxmlrpcclient4
liblastfm1 libloudmouth1-0 libmygpo-qt1 libnl-route-3-200 libntrack-qt4-1 libntrack0 libplasma3 libpolkit-qt-1-1
libqjson0 libqt4-opengl libqtscript4-core libqtscript4-gui libqtscript4-network libqtscript4-sql
libqtscript4-uitools libqtscript4-xml libqtwebkit4 libsgutils2-2 libtag-extras1 libthreadweaver4 libxml2-utils
ntrack-module-libnl-0 oxygen-icon-theme plasma-scriptengine-javascript sgml-data


That's additional ~250 MB. OK, then this

Code: Select all
sudo apt install juk


gives
The following additional packages will be installed:
docbook-xml docbook-xsl enchant fonts-dejavu fonts-dejavu-extra icoutils kate-data katepart kde-runtime
kde-runtime-data kdelibs-bin kdelibs5-plugins kdoctools libcanberra-pulse libenchant1c2a libkactivities6
libkatepartinterfaces4 libkdeclarative5 libkdesu5 libkdewebkit5 libkdnssd4 libkemoticons4 libkfile4 libkhtml5
libkjsapi4 libkjsembed4 libkmediaplayer4 libknewstuff3-4 libknotifyconfig4 libkntlm4 libkrosscore4
libktexteditor4 libkxmlrpcclient4 libnl-route-3-200 libntrack-qt4-1 libntrack0 libplasma3 libpolkit-qt-1-1
libqt4-opengl libqtwebkit4 libthreadweaver4 libxml2-utils ntrack-module-libnl-0 oxygen-icon-theme
plasma-scriptengine-javascript sgml-data


and it requires ~180 MB on the disk. Similar story with KTorrent - many KDE4 libs and 184 MB.....

Let's try

Code: Select all
sudo apt install digikam


It looks better:
The following additional packages will be installed:
docbook-xml docbook-xsl enchant fonts-dejavu fonts-dejavu-extra icoutils kate-data katepart kde-runtime
kde-runtime-data kdelibs-bin kdelibs5-plugins kdoctools libcanberra-pulse libenchant1c2a libkactivities6
libkatepartinterfaces4 libkdeclarative5 libkdesu5 libkdewebkit5 libkdnssd4 libkemoticons4 libkfile4 libkhtml5
libkjsapi4 libkjsembed4 libkmediaplayer4 libknewstuff3-4 libknotifyconfig4 libkntlm4 libkrosscore4
libktexteditor4 libkxmlrpcclient4 libnl-route-3-200 libntrack-qt4-1 libntrack0 libplasma3 libpolkit-qt-1-1
libqt4-opengl libqtwebkit4 libthreadweaver4 libxml2-utils ntrack-module-libnl-0 oxygen-icon-theme
plasma-scriptengine-javascript sgml-data


And "only" ~100 MB.

Questions:

1. Does this mean that both Amarok and JuK are not ported to Plasma 5 and pull KDE4 "tail" together still ? And Digikam got rid of those KDE4 dependencies already ?
2. How do I know if a KDE app is ported to Plasma 5 ?

You can get a fairly good idea from here.

Use Ctrl+F to search for an application.

Thanks, Cobber. It helps a bit, but can we trust it :D ?
"KF5 Porting Status

This service is discontinued. View last status update"


I checked KTorrent, for example. The KDE Developer page says it's ported, but "apt" still pulls those KDE4 libs.....

Thats an issue which you can discuss with the packagers of your distribution.

@OP

If you like to use all the new kf5 apps, give KaOS a try, it ship a pure kf5 environment since a while. :)

Yeah it's only a guide.

I had Krusader installed, which wasn't ported over, then the KDE 5 version came out and I had a heck of a time trying to get it to work - especially in root mode.

They promised us the latest software - it's KDE Neon, baby :D !

And what will happen if I want Amarok on KaOS ? Will I have it ported to Plasma 5 ;) ?
On the other side I'm getting old and lazy. And I'm used to *buntu family, I love its tools and package management. You get the point ;)

P.S.: I found the answer myself - Amarok on KaOS still needs the kdelibs4support.
