#53886: submission: port:qt5-kde

------------------------+---------------------
 New spring, new ticket: I'm continuing the previous qt5-kde submission
 here, the old one (#48967) was getting too long.

 `port:qt5-qtbase & family` are now at Qt 5.7.1, which is already obsolete:
 Qt 5.8.0 has been out and running on my systems for a few weeks now (in
 the form of "devel" version of the attached `port:qt5-kde`).

 `qt5-kde` is still a Qt5 port that aims to make feature-full KF5 ports
 possible but that will work as a drop-in replacement for `port:qt5-qtbase
 & family` (drop-in to `qt5-kde`, in principle not back to
 `port:qt5-qtbase` as long as that standard Qt5 port remains at Qt 5.7). It
 also provides a `qt5-kde-x11` subport which makes it possible to run Qt
 applications on remote X11 displays or use a Qt-based X11 terminal
 emulator (like Konsole5).

 Given the number of patchfiles I'll continue to upload tarballs of the
 port directory; the port and its evolution can also be inspected on
 github:

 Please also note #53777 and #53778 for suggested (desired!) changes to the
 Qt5 PortGroups, allowing co-existence of the ports.
