-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello everybody! First the Good News: The past weeks we focused on the complex and very time consuming task to get the KDE4 ports into a much better shape so we can now go on the next step: much wider public testing. The experimental KDE ports are currently pulled from KDE 4.1 beta 2 (4.0.83). Some of you may believe beta testing is not worth it, especially since RC1 was released 2 Days ago. RC1 is however not yet mature enough for a public testing phase. Yes, work on RC1 is of course going on. But this really takes more time. So be patient, please. At the moment we would actually benefit from wider testing the well prepared KDE4 beta 2 FreeBSD builds. We would have much more opportunity and time to identify and eventually correct FreeBSD specific problems with those. There is a new wiki page which explains how to download, install and test, etc. Please read it carefully and make sure you understand it all. This is not a preview snapshot for the impatient! This also is not for inexperienced users. Also, please be aware of the fact that KDE4 is not considered stable enough for daily use. So please no flame wars etc.! Be constructive and you are very welcome! Bad News: I'm sorry to say that this first CFT on KDE4 doesn't support FreeBSD 6.3. The next CFT will. The problem behind it is that we really focussed on bringing support for 7.0 up to a reasonable level. We will concentrate on 6.3 for the next CFT. http://wiki.freebsd.org/KDE4/Install That's all for the moment.
