I had to manually uninstall all old kde ports and re-install them again adding the kde4 suffix. Are you saying I will need to do that again when I want to switch to kde5? I haven't seen any consultation being posted on this forum if/when/how the introduction of kde5 should be handled. I imagine it's not the first time such a massive upgrade of version has had happened in FreeBSD ports. Is it how it's usually handled? Also, wouldn't in this case converting kde to flavours, i.e. kde-base@kde4 and kde-base@kde5 be a better approach? GrzegorzJ
