Tuesday, 23 June 2020. Today KDE releases a bugfix update to KDE Plasma 5,
versioned 5.19.2. Plasma 5.19 was released in June 2020 with many feature
refinements and new modules to complete the desktop experience.
This release adds a week's worth of new translations and fixes from KDE's
contributors. The bugfixes are typically small but important and include:
* Fix KRunner positioning on X11 with High DPI and Qt scaling on Plasma.
* Fix case of monitored service in startplasma's shutdown.
* KSysGuard: Expose better size hints.

Currently, Rust on powerpc64 elfv2 builds with GCC because of past issue with LLVM. However, this issue seems to be resolved now and I can already build Rust with Clang and then build with it other packages, like Firefox.
The problem is that, when using GCC, binutils is getting installed, but when using LLVM, it's not and there is -fno-integrated-as getting passed on ppc64.
Since it's only for the build and users building from ports have binutils installed anyway, add it for everyone.

Tuesday, 9 June 2020.
Plasma 5.19 is out! If we gave alliterative names to Plasma releases, this one
could be "Polished Plasma". The effort developers have put into squashing bugs
and removing annoying papercuts has been immense.
In this release, we have prioritized making Plasma more consistent, correcting
and unifying designs of widgets and desktop elements; worked on giving you more
control over your desktop by adding configuration options to the System
Settings; and improved usability, making Plasma and its components easier to
use and an overall more pleasurable experience.
Read on to discover all the new features and improvements of Plasma 5.19…

GCC 10 releases, switch to that over lang/gcc10-devel when GCC 10 is
requested.
Use lang/gcc11-devel when GCC 11 is requested, but note that this is
absolutely experimental and subject to constant change and likely
breakage over the next half year at least before that release series
enters stabilization. Use at your own risk.

patches even if one fail.
This helps when upgrading ports with a large number of patches, like
www/chromium where having to fix one patch, re-do the patching, fix the
fallout, 800 times, is really painful.
This fixes the first attempt at this which would make ports with
multiple patches patching one file somewhat explode.
- Repocopy textproc/py-sphinx to textproc/py-sphinx18
Update it to 1.8.5 (latest version from 1.8.X).
This version supports Python 2 and 3.
Add test target.
- textproc/py-sphinx: Update to 3.0.2
Python 3 only (3.5+).
Add test target.
- Mk/Uses/python.mk: Add PY_SPHINX
Shared macro to use with flavors and not break
ports with USES=python (all versions).
Python >=3.5 --> textproc/py-sphinx (v3.0.2)
Python < 3.5 --> textproc/py-sphinx18 (v1.8.5)
All ports that uses sphinx were changed to use the new variable
${PY_SPHINX} in the dependency line, exceptions:
* Ports that fails to build with sphinx 3.0.2 because of code.
They are pointing to textproc/py-sphinx18 directly.
There aren't many ports.
* Ports that doesn't know Python flavors.
- Add several patches to fix Sphinx consumers
The most common issues are related with pkg-plist, the output
files from Sphinx changes between versions, keep this dynamically
is the better approach.
This will save time in future sphinx updates.

Some changes have been made in this release that break backwards
compatibility. Let USES=gmake force users to upgrade to this version so
port maintainers don't have to support older versions.

This is not intended for production use, but to allow for an -exp run

KDE's April 2020 Apps Update
A new bundle of KDE applications is here! In these releases, you can expect to
find more features, stability improvements, and more user-friendly tools that
will help you work more effectively.
There are dozens of changes to look forward to in most of your favorite
applications. Take Dolphin, for example. Windows Samba shares are now fully
discoverable.
On the topic of playing music: the Elisa music player is adding features by
leaps and bounds. This release brings a new “Now Playing” view, easy
accessibility through the system tray, and an option to minimize the playlist
whenever you want. Thanks to the recently-added visual shuffle mode, it’s much
easier to rearrange your music in the playlists.
These are just the highlights of what’s new in KDE’s applications this month.
Read on to find out about everything we’ve prepared for you.
