I thought about the kde/ category, but The thing is really three distributions. 1 -- kde-support libraries, libjpeg, and libgif. we already have libjpeg, I made a port of the original libgif that I can commit. this one won't be necessary. 2 -- kde-libraries -- just a set of libraries for the clients. 3 -- All the clients bundled up as one package. So I started on three ports, graphics/libgif, x11/kde-libs x11/kde-clients. `pkg_add kde-clients' will sort it all out via the dependancies. Unfortunately, I won't have time to work on it anymore for a couple weeks, if anyone is interested in picking it up, let me know... (I think graphics/libgif is ready for commit. kde-libs is packaged, but may have bugs) > >Satoshi > eric. -- erich@rrnet.com http://rrnet.com/~erich erich@freebsd.org http://www.freebsd.org/~erich erich@lodgenet.com
