KDE today announces the release of KDE Frameworks 5.87.0.
KDE Frameworks are 83 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. For an introduction see
the KDE Frameworks release announcement.
This release is part of a series of planned monthly releases making
improvements available to developers in a quick and predictable manner.

After working on (and largely maintaining) our GCC ports for more than
19 years, time has come to hand over the baton. Sadly despite multiple
requests nobody stepped up, so return this port to the pool.
Still happy to provide guidance and a helping hand, for example working
with upstream or on how to operate the (crucial) nightly testers.
libsanitizer brought in improved support for FreeBSD, alas in
conflict with one of GCC's headers file (md5.h); add a temporary
hack via files/patch-libsanitzer-buildfix .

Still happy to provide guidance and a helping hand, for example working

This brings 22 back ports for the C++ front end (including some
for coroutines) and three for the Fortran front end.
The 20211002 snapshot did not bring any changes over 20210925, so
we skipped it.
The Python ports install the library libpython3.x.so under $PREFIX/lib,
and they set USE_LDCONFIG, but these libraries are not registered, due
to a missing symlink, and they are not found by `ldconfig -r'.
This commit make them to be registered, and for some reason it helps the
dynamic linker to find them, and this allows to fix an error in
french/aster. It also helps to fix errors in newer releases of math/sage
(not yet ready to be committed due to other problems).
No exp-run, but it has been tested with many ports on several platforms.
