FYI, each of these has been in -testing almost a week now, and by epel
policy requires at least 2 weeks (or testing karma) to go into the stable
repository.
Hint: each of these only requires one more +1 karma :)
Hi Rex: I wasn't clear how this might affect me. I have one SL7 box,
and it's my main machine. I showed yum the repo and it saw no
conflicts, but it didn't look as if the packages would replace anything
installed, so it seemed unlikely that they would be used, and I didn't
go ahead.
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..."

Does that help?
Thank you for the explanation :-) It's getting late here, but my
impression is that I'm out of it for now.
