Hi Marek,

the most recent commits can be found on my Github account in branch 
upstream-kde[1].

The package libaccounts-qt now builds and I'm able to build VM wth KDE Plasma.

However, when I log in to the Plasma session I saw only black screen so my 
assumption is it will need meta package like gnome or xfce.

The wayland session did not start but I was testing this in VM running under 
X11. So I'll use dedicated machine for that.

So my plan is to fix the 2 remaining issues this week and sumbit the patches 
here (currently about 100).

FIY I cleaned my git of all the stalled branches with KDE packages. This should 
be the one for upstream as most of the stuff should be solid there.
