the book. 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.
