Which installation package / meta port for KDE 5 Plasma Desktop?

[Monti]

Hi!

I have seen guides where both pkg install kde5 and pkg install plasma5-plasma-desktop is being used, and when checking out install pakages / meta ports available in the x11 section I see:

x11/kde5
x11/plasma5-plasma
x11/plasma5-plasma-desktop
x11/plasma5-plasma-workspace

A bit confusing, so in a few words could someone please explain to me what the differences are? I have noticed that x11/kde5 also says "(current)".

Thank you.

Here is an overview regarding installing Plasma5 and applications:

Thank you T-Daemon!

Kind of got confused by the x11/kde5-baseapps version number 19.12.3 and "current" together with the x11/kde5 meta port pakage version number (5.18.4.1.19.12.3) where the other meta port packages does not have 19.12.3 included.

Too see if I got the meaning of the meta ports right:

x11/kde5 - The full big installation
x11/plasma5-plasma - In terms of less packages 36% smaller than x11/kde5 a more "standard" installation
x11/plasma5-plasma-desktop - 44% smaller than x11/kde5 just the necessary for a "basic" desktop environment
x11/plasma5-plasma-workspace - 47% smaller than x11/kde5 "streamlined" for a workplace workstation.

Have I understood the differences somewhat correctly?

Thanks
