The continued use of x11-toolkits/qt33 is about to end. DEPRECATED= No upstream activity since 2008; unmaintained EXPIRATION_DATE= 2013-07-01 I removed x11-toolkits/qt33 from my system and then rebuilt the ports that were dependent on it with qt-4. Only a few programs absolutely needed x11-toolkits/qt33 and most of them are about to go away also. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
