Please, can anybody clarify a relation between kde and kf5 package groups and intended way of the kde4-to-kde5 migration in a whole?

Roughly speaking, the kf5 packages are a split version of the kdelibs as we know them from KDE 4.x. , meant to replace them.

Somewhere in the future all the apps developed on top of kdelibs will be ported to kf5 (currently only kate and maybe systemsettings have been ported). The same will happen for the plasma shell (plasma next) which is now in beta and available in the AUR.

If you're not interested in testing plasma next or testing/developing kf5 apps you have no interest in kf5 packages either.

For more info, consider reading Andrea's announcement related to kf5: http://blog.andreascarpino.it/kf5-offic … -for-arch/
