This includes the following: 1) kde-qt-addon 1.90 2) kdelibs 1.90 3) kdebase 1.90 4) kdesupport 1.90 5) kdenetwork 1.90 6) kdegames 1.90 7) kdeutils 1.90 8) kdetoys 1.90 9) koffice 1.90 *) complimented with a kde2 meta-port which installs all of the above except #8 and #9. That's right - it all works on FreeBSD now. Of course, as I don't really have time to test it on 3.4-STABLE, it has only been tested on my 5.0-CURRENT devbox, running the latest sources. So if you find any discrepancies, report them and they will be fixed ASAP. Everyone should consider this email a warning. I have tried my best to ensure that users don't accidentally install KDE + KDE2 stuff at the same time. I'm not sure it's even possible to have both kdelibs 1.x AND 2.x installed at the same time without a lot of trouble.. Anyway, these version conflicts will be resolved in later revisions of these ports. Sorry, but these ports are really only intended for developers (stable API now) and for users who like having / can handle the latest and hottest in goodies. So, if you want to play around in KDE2, be my guest, and send me bug reports/fixes. But don't send complaints! Especially not about how long it takes (approx 6 1/2 hours for the entire x11/kde2 port, on my PII-300 w/ 128MB SDRAM) to compile!! ;-) This is a call for people to start porting KDE2-based programs! If you create any, just assign them to me (will@FreeBSD.org) in GNATS and I'll get them in as soon as possible. It'd be nice to have a fairly functional KDE2 in the ports collection in time for 4.1-RELEASE...
