Tuesday, 3 December 2019. Today KDE releases a bugfix update to KDE Plasma 5,
versioned 5.17.4. Plasma 5.17 was released in October 2019 with many feature
refinements and new modules to complete the desktop experience.
This release adds a month's worth of new translations and fixes from KDE's
contributors. The bugfixes are typically small but important and include:
* Discover: Fwupd, don't whine when we have unsupported hardware.
* Unbreak build with Qt 5.14.
* Fix Cuttlefish mouse click selection in icon grid.
Changelog: https://kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.17.3-5.17.4-changelog.php
Since e.g. PPC doesn't have webengine on elfv1, this port doesn't build.
Make webengine only for x86 and ppc64 elfv2.

java/openjdk6 support was removed from Mk/bsd.java.mk (r512662) and
java/openjdk6 and java/openjdk6-jre were removed from the ports tree
(r512663). Now this patch completely removes remaining stuff from the
ports tree.

The referenced change made NO_INSTALLLIB, NO_MAN, and NO_PROFILE into
errors causing these ports that declare them and use the FreeBSD make
infrastructure as part of their build to fail.
When the offending variables occur in a BSD Makefile, NO_MAN becomes
MAN= and NO_INSTALLLIB and NO_PROFILE become MK_INSTALLLIB=no and
MK_PROFILE=no respectively. When declared in the environment they
become WITHOUT_<FOO>.
This was already added to the build-deps; however now users of qt5-gui
run into Vulkan problems, in particular sysutils/qt5-qtdiag, which is
now fixed with this build-depends.
If the Vulkan headers are installed, builds would fail with extra
artifacts produced. Since those headers are small, header-only, and
only drag in cmake which is probably needed by dependencies anyway,
push Vulkan forward.

Plasma 5.17 is the version where the desktop anticipates your needs. Night
Color, the color-grading system that relaxes your eyes when the sun sets, has
landed for X11. Your Plasma desktop also recognizes when you are giving a
presentation, and stops messages popping up in the middle of your slideshow. If
you are using Wayland, Plasma now comes with fractional scaling, which means
that you can adjust the size of all your desktop elements, windows, fonts and
panels perfectly to your HiDPI monitor.
The best part? All these improvements do not tax your hardware! Plasma 5.17 is
as lightweight and thrifty with resources as ever.
Important startup change:
With Plasma 5.17 the startup script has been renamed. People who use the
.xinitrc method to start Plasma have to call the new binary.
Previously:
exec ck-launch-session startkde
Change to:
exec ck-launch-session startplasma-x11
Announcement:

In Qt 5.13, a "helpful" upstream added #includes of the interal
FreeBSD event headers; these conflict with evdev-proto headers.
Back out that helpful fix, and rely on evdev-proto everywhere
(in particular, for dependent ports that use evdev-proto themselves).
