I was not aware of that. I have been buried far too deep in the details of individual errorlogs to notice. That kind of obviates my post. I guess I am remembering from ~6 months ago when we were hitting new problems left and right. Piotr tells me that that has setttled down. > Putting in a -devel version could slow the Frameworks releases to the > rate of Plasma releases, but [...] I don't think that's really doable > from a port-maintainer perspective. OK, fair enough. > Piotr Kubaj is all over the tree and has been helpful in our ports I know :-) I'm one of his mentors.

As well, Talos has given him remote access to one of their systems. I myself have a Talos, albeit the "little brother" to the more capable machines. As well, I have access to two P8s hosted at OSU that IBM has loaned to us. That's where I do most of my patch testing. So, yes, we have hardware. > If there's a simple "press play" thing I can do to prevent issues > reaching you Well I am willing to use my Blackbird here as a beta QA tester. (In general I use it as a backup to all the above, more powerful, machines, and in headless mode. OTOH I just brought it back up yesterday with the latest xfce4 and it seems to work as expected.) If you are interested, please contact me privately. I have not investigated any of the "press play" solutions yet. I am simply too buried. > I expect then that it'd be a week's compile on my local workstation) I'm not sure exactly how long it would take on this machine. I think it would be somewhat less than that. So far I have merely used the official FreeBSD.org packages. In my definse of my initial post, I *will* say that we (FreeBSD.org) doesn't have a package for the meta-package itself (at least on -CURRENT). Various other things have kept it from building for most of this year, but now we are back down to simply qt5-webengine. I think Piotr is working on that. I have so many patches that I have tried over the course of the last 12 months that I always have to go back to my notes to check. mcl
