Package Group for KDE Applications (KF5) ?

Hi,

with upgrading an existing KDE4 Installation to KF5 / Plasma with pacman -Rc kdebase-workspace && pacman -S plasma, I still have all the KDE Applications I got by installing KDE4 via pacman -S kde.
But when I want to set up a new installation with KF5 / Plasma, is there any package group for the KDE Applications (the new QT5-based ones and / or the "old" QT4-based ones) or do I have to install them one by one (konsole, dolphin etc...) ?

Sorry for that dumb question, but maybe I missed something...

Thanks in advance!

There's kf5 and kf5-aids.

The old kde groups/meta packages are still available. But keep in mind that some applications (kget, printer-applet) conflict with plasma 5, so some manual intervention is required to exclude them from the installation.

Sure, there are the old kde groups, but for the new QT5-based applications (for example "konsole") they only belongs to groups (konsole -> kde, kdebase), which contains the conflicting package "kdebase-workspace". Additionally the new QT5-based applications don't have a prefixes anymore (kdebase-konsole -> konsole).
