Then I would prefer a solution that was more configurable than 'minimal KDE'. You have all the package names and your own set of variables in bsd.kde.mk. Simply create a variable for something like "KDE_PACKAGES" and default it to *all* packages. Those of us who don't want all can just put a list of them in pkgtools.conf or /etc/make.conf .. This would improve over the previous method as well. I'm no ports expert, but something similar to what the 'gnomeng' does with package dependencies. USE_GNOME= gnomeprefix gnomehack gnomehier libwnck gnomedesktop Like that. At least, it seems like something similar would work here for KDE. -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus!
