As a matter of fact, I am now in the process of upgrading my Toshiba with my old KDE4 files on it to the latest -dev version of LFS and -BLFS with the last KDE4 release that we supported, and upgrading the files to the KDE5 equivalents. I have used KAlarm, Knotes, Korganizer, Kaddressbook, Kontact, Akgregator, and Bloglio for somewhere around 6-8 years now, as it contains all of my journals and contacts in it. I also have some old Kopete conversations that I would like to save. At first, I thought that the idea of a fresh jhalfs build would work. However, this system is so old now (in build age, and in physical age) that I actually think that it would be faster to just upgrade everything in-place, although I realize I am at my own risk here. I suppose that we should ask people on -support as well. My hope is that my conversion of files goes without issue! When I get around to looking at the KDEPIM-5 stuff, I can report back if you would like. I can also make an akonadi-client tarball if needed, as I already have most of the infrastructure setup on my workstation from when I used to work on KDE -dev stuff. > -- > http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev > FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html > Unsubscribe: See the above information page >
