Update the KDE widget plasma-applet-socketsentry package (Plasma 4 widget) to the Plasma 5 widget

This widget is very useful to show the connections of your machine to the network in real time.
Socket Sentry is a KDE Plasma widget that displays real-time networktraffic

Reproducible: Always

It is a 3rd party plasmoid and not part of the KDE. Please report the problem to its author via https://code.google.com/p/socket-sentry/ .

Thank you for your attention and for the quick response from you.
I accessed the project forum "socketsentry" <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/socket-sentry> and I sent a message to Rob Hasselbaum, which seems to be the package developer. I asked him if there are plans to update the software socketsentry for Plasma 5. The last movement of that forum is the year 2011, I hope Rob is still working on this project.
Thank you

Hello. I am the author of the original Plasma 4 version. Unfortunately, I have not had time to devote to a Plasma 5 port, but the code is available on GitHub and I would certainly welcome contributions there.
