28 Indeed. There's a lot of those USE="minimal" blockers, and they are
29 likely to continue till all official KDE apps are ported to Plasma5.
30 Here's my list:
31
32 /etc/portage/package.use/package.use:# 20150831: These apps with
33 USE="-minimal" block the upgrade to their kde-frameworks equivalent
34 /etc/portage/package.use/package.use:kde-apps/kde-wallpapers minimal
35 /etc/portage/package.use/package.use:kde-apps/kde4-l10n minimal
36 /etc/portage/package.use/package.use:kde-apps/kdeartwork-meta minimal
37 /etc/portage/package.use/package.use:=kde-apps/kdebase-kioslaves-4* minimal
38 /etc/portage/package.use/package.use:kde-apps/kdebase-runtime-meta minimal
39 /etc/portage/package.use/package.use:=kde-apps/konsole-4* minimal
40 /etc/portage/package.use/package.use:=kde-apps/kwalletmanager-4* minimal
41 /etc/portage/package.use/package.use:kde-apps/libkipi:4 minimal
42 /etc/portage/package.use/package.use:=kde-base/baloo-4* minimal
