+ <p>The KDE on &os; team focuses on packaging and making sure
+ that the experience of KDE and Qt on &os; is as good as
+ possible.</p>
+
+ <p>This quarter, in addition to the regular updates to the KDE,
+ Qt and related ports, there have also been some changes behind
+ the scenes: our development repository has moved to GitHub,
+ and &os; is now part of KDE's official continuous integration
+ (CI infrastructure).</p>
+
+ <p>After the X.Org and GNOME ports teams, the KDE on &os; team
+ has moved its development repository to GitHub. This should
+ make it easier for others to collaborate with us via pull
+ requests, and by basing all our changes on top of the official
+ ports tree we also hope this reduces the amount of conflicts
+ and churn we need to deal with when landing big updates across
+ the tree. We would like to thank iXsystems for hosting and
+ supporting our area51 Subversion repository for many
+ years.</p>
+
+ <p>&os; has finally joined KDE's CI (Continuous Integration)
+ system as a tier-1 platform. KDE CI builds all the KDE
+ sources — 70 frameworks, the KDE Plasma Desktop and a
+ plethora of KDE Applications — continuously, straight
+ from KDE's git repositories. There is strong commitment from
+ upstream and the downstream KDE-&os; team to reduce the amount
+ of patching in the KDE ports to as little as possible. The
+ first effects are being felt in expanding unittests to
+ &os;-specific situations, and in extending Qt to handle &os;
+ filesystems better. In addition to the KDE sysadmins, we
+ would also like to extend our thanks to Adriaan de Groot, who
+ is both a KDE committer and part of our KDE on &os; team, for
+ spearheading the efforts.</p>
+
+ <p>The following big updates were landed in the ports tree this
+ quarter:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>CMake was updated to 3.8.0 and 3.8.2</li>
+
+ <li>KDE Frameworks were updated to 5.33, 5.34 and 5.35</li>
+
+ <li>The Calligra office suite was updated to 3.0.1, the first
+ release in the ports tree to be based on KDE Frameworks 5,
+ and the latest stable release upstream</li>
+
+ <li>The Konversation IRC client was updated to 1.7.2, the
+ latest upstream release and the first ports version based on
+ KDE Frameworks 5</li>
+
+ <li>KchmViewer was updated to 7.7, which is based on KDE
+ Frameworks 5</li>
+
+ <li>LabPlot was updated to 2.3.0 and 2.4.0, and is now based
+ on KDE Frameworks 5</li>
+
+ <li>QtCreator was upated to 4.2.2 and subsequently to
+ 4.3.0</li>
+
+ <li><tt>py-sip</tt> was updated to 4.19.2, PyQt4 to 4.12 and PyQt5 to
+ 5.7.1</li>
+
+ <li>Several fixes for ARMv6 were landed to the Qt4 and Qt5
+ ports — thanks to Mikaël Urankar</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>After several review rounds and exp-runs, Tobias Berner
+ (tcberner@) finally made the Ninja generator the default for
+ CMake-based ports, so that <tt>devel/ninja</tt> is used
+ instead of (<tt>g</tt>)<tt>make</tt> in most cases. This
+ should make most builds faster, even if only by a small margin.
+ Adriaan de Groot also wrote a blog post about the change.</p>
