Sorry, I may have assumed everyone knew what kf5 means exactly. I suspect you expected kf5 to be *plasma 5*, which is the new desktop environment (based on kf5). So allow me to explain, kde frameworks 5 are essentially runtime libraries only, and the intent is to be installable on RHEL7 without replacing anything. KF5 being in epel7 is a prerequisite to building plasma5. And, since plasma5 *replaces* el7's kde4 desktop, it cannot be in epel7 (which disallows replacement of core packages by policy). Our intent is to provide a el7 plasma5 copr repository at some point. "KDE Frameworks are 70 addon libraries to Qt which provide a wide variety of commonly needed functionality in mature, peer reviewed and well tested libraries with friendly licensing terms..." see also: https://www.kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.21.0.php https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_Frameworks_5 Does that help? -- Rex _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
