port, but now we remove a patch :), remove a lot of obsolete patches. I'm
not sure why I didn't notice that coolo@kde.org fixed the midfile.cc one
about six months ago... ;)

the KDE team's excellent work, I am initiating burn sequence for KDE
1.x. All base KDE1 ports are hereby nuked. I am also reluctantly
reassuming maintainership of the KDE2 ports. Official KDE 2.1 packages
built for FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE w/ XFree86 4.0.2 are available on KDE's
official ftp mirrors now. Enjoy!
Note: It seems that the KDE people rerolled their kdelibs and kdebase
packages, and a quick examination of diffs reveal minor changes, but the
port should still work. I'll fix the packaging problems that bento runs
into.

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)):
http://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/distribution/2.0Beta5/tar/FreeBSD/
Have fun! Remember to reports bugs through http://bugs.kde.org/.
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.
Konqueror can load HTML documents, KOffice works semi-well, and KDE2 in
general seems less buggy. Only kdeutils was left out of this mega-update.
However, it should return soon. :-)
The massive reduction in patches is mostly the result of using perl
regex replacement. This reduces the amount of time it will take in the
future to upgrade these ports, and load on the repository.
QT 2.2.0beta0 (aka qt-copy) is officially enabled for the express
purpose of allowing KDE2 to compile. It is available in the qt22 port.
Additionally, GIF support is re-enabled in both Qt2 ports, so that
people can now read GIF images. GIF support is enabled through an
internal GIF reader in Qt, and requires no patented libraries. Special
effort was made to ensure that people do not install both qt21 and qt22
ports at the same time.
I'd like to take a moment to thank the following people for their help:
Alex Zepeda <jazepeda@pacbell.net>, Stephan Kulow <coolo@kde.org>, Harri
Porten <porten@kde.org>, Waldo Bastian <waba@kde.org>, Marc G. Fournier
<scrappy@hub.org>, Arun Sharma <adsharma@sharmas.dhs.org>, Matthias
Hoelzer-Kluepfel <mhk@caldera.de>, and many others. Over 150 hours of hard
work, testing, etc. were put into this update. Another couple hundred of
hours were spent by CPUs trying to compile this behemoth. :->
Special thanks to: Physics Computer Network @ Purdue staff, especially
C. Stephen Gunn <csg@physics.purdue.edu>, for giving
me access to an extremely fast machine for doing
test builds (it performed 12 full builds of the
entire suite in the last 7 days).

work to ensure that LIBTOOL works properly next time I commit something to
fix this. :-(
Hopefully this will stop all the complaints that have flooded my mailbox.
Change MAINTAINER to myself.
Clean up pkg/PLIST, fix some of the unexec rmdir's and change some of the
@dirrm's to unexec rmdir.
Add USE_LIBTOOL + remove pkg/PLIST *.la.
Actually add WWW: to pkg/DESCR.

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 ...
Recompile all your applications!
Only the minor revision of the shared libraries changed, but
they are not really upward compatible with those from Beta2!
The use of --x-inc and --x-lib to pass in multiple directories is a hack,
and should be replaced by a more robust approach. It works, but relies on
implementation details of the configure script.
