have not tried KDE 2.0 or haven't done so in awhile (i.e. since July or
before), you should try this. This version is extremely stable and offers
better functionality than before. This update also introduces the KDE2
modules kdegraphics and kdemultimedia to our ports tree. Additionally,
this marks the first time FreeBSD packages were announced as part of the
KDE2 beta release announcement! :-)
Most (if not all) of the remaining modules in KDE2 will be added for the
update WRT the final release.
A hack was added to fix building with SSL in kdelibs; this has been merged
in the main tree and will go away with 2.0 release update. Thanks to David
Faure <david@mandrakesoft.com> for his help regarding this.
Also, building the docs should now succeed because I've added a build
dependency on jade and linuxdoc (should be enough).
People can get my precompiled packages from the usual location on the KDE
FTP server (should spread to the mirrors Real Soon Now (tm)):

Have fun! Remember to reports bugs through http://bugs.kde.org/.
dependencies to kde2, and add koffice to kde2, because it's part of the
2.0 release. Fix my bogon in forgetting to remove obsolete qt22 patches.
The current state of the ports as far as building and installing is quite
good, but I expect minor problems with PLISTs other than for the ones I've
fixed here. I'm going to let bento figure it out. :-)
Please, test these ports and report bugs to submit@bugs.kde.org, and send
me problems with the ports themselves. I've found that KDE2 seems to have
stabilized significantly since the last snapshot.
And now, I am removing the last patch remaining in the KDE2 ports, except
for the QT 2.2 snapshot.
I can address some of its issues (should see it marked un-broken in about
3 hours, if they're trivial enough). It took too long to get this update
out the door... :-(
This is a rather stable version of KDE2. Release is hoped for sometime
next month, so I'm going to try to reroll snapshots this weekend.
Also decide policy by removing the interactive requirement in qt22's
configure script. I don't know why they bothered adding it there..
Bugged by: *many* bug-reports, requests, etc.
After short discussion with Imura-san, back out GIF-by-default until I can
confirm whether or not there are license issues with Unisys. I will deal
with this later. I should note that I'd committed to qt2[12] previously
without conferring with him on the GIF issue first.
One big ouchie: I didn't even set MASTER_SITE/MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR on qt22
properly.. but oh well. Nobody's perfect. :-)
Things should be un-broken now.. please test these ports! I'll be trying
to update them to a new snap after a week or so.
Pointy hat: will
Patches graciously submitted by: nra
it to install the basic KDE2 stuff. Also update kdetoys to finally
remove ImageMagick dependency and allow non-i18n people to use it.
And now, KDE2 is fully imported into the tree.

This port requireat least s version 1.41 of the Qt library.
There will be an error reported by configure, if only an earlier
version is found, but no automatic port dependency exists (i.e.
the x11-toolkits/qt141 port has to be manually built and installed).
There may still be a problem with a missing -lXext in the kdesupport
port. This will be taken care of during the next few days, if the
problem still exists ...
