Its not like you have to use the port to compile KDE, if you need it right away just compile the source yourself. The ports system is a tool, not a requirement for running the applications on FreeBSD. Aren't the rpms created by the people @ KDE anyways? By the time they get to a release they should know it in an out and it shouldn't take them much time at all to create, if they haven't already been created by the time they release of a specific version. FreeBSD is competitive because people contribute instead of complain for the most part. If you don't have anything positive to contribute then we don't need your negative complaints about what other people donate in their spare time. > This kind of attitude is fine when you are supporting a hobby or pet > project, but not a supposedly serious and competitive OS like FreeBSD. > Critical pieces of the OS like KDE should be taken more seriously than > the other ports.
