It's fine with me. QGL support is no more important than shipping the 4.3-RELEASE with KDE2 packages included. Now, let me ask you something: is the problem specific to FreeBSD, or moreover, is it specific to 4-STABLE? I badly wish we could let all those thread weirdness disappear before 5.0-RELEASE.. ;) I appreciate your continuous effort on Qt & KDE ports! :) -- / /__ __ Akinori.org / MUSHA.org / ) ) ) ) / FreeBSD.org / Ruby-lang.org Akinori MUSHA aka / (_ / ( (__( @ iDaemons.org / and.or.jp "We're only at home when we're on the run, on the wing, on the fly" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
