We would like to know how many people are still using KDE4 on FreeBSD 6.4? We are considering dropping support for 6.x. Let me explain. First of all it is sad to say, but currently there are only 2 people who actively work on KDE4. It is _really_ hard work to get KDE4 ready for FreeBSD. Also it is getting harder to build KDE4 with gcc 3.x. Of couse if somebody want to support KDE4 on 6.x you are welcome to our team! Try to compile KDE, make patches and push them upstream! So, in order to move forward we may have to drop 6.x support. We just don't have the manpower to build multiple versions. Ok, enough for the moment. What do you think about 6.4 support? - - Martin - -- +-----------------------+-------------------------------+ | PGP : 0x05682353 | Jabber : miwi(at)BSDCrew.de | | ICQ : 169139903 | Mail : miwi(at)FreeBSD.org | +-----------------------+-------------------------------+ | Mess with the Best, Die like the Rest! | +-----------------------+-------------------------------+ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkmC9CMACgkQFwpycAVoI1O/wwCeOST5gUzt56q2VPJ0K2mBqpsV QwwAn01y8XILjwb9w2dX1yXTG4OOO+a2 =/dtp -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
