I've been getting a lot of people asking about when 2.2.1 will be in ports. Well, the answer is that I've been bogged down by school and especially exams in the last few weeks, and this has delayed 2.2.1 in ports quite a bit. Someone submitted a patch recently but I don't have time to test it until Friday afternoon. In any case, there is no showstopper in 2.2 in ports that's fixed in 2.2.1 which is another primary reason the ports haven't been upgraded yet. Sorry for the delays, but there's good reasons. By the way, in case you didn't notice, I've formed a group (kde@FreeBSD.org) to work together on the KDE ports in FreeBSD, so I'm no longer a bottleneck in upgrades and such. I suspect the others are also busy and for the reasons above they haven't committed any updates either. As for your "broken early binary distribution", you really should obtain a newer binary distribution of 2.2 that has all the fixes we made in the weeks following the official release. Consult the manual page for pkg_add(1) on your FreeBSD box to see how to tell it to get KDE and dependencies, or use portupgrade(1) from ports.
