to the final release of KDE 2.0. Kevin Lo <kevlo@FreeBSD.org> will continue
as the new maintainer. He has commit privileges on the KDE tree, making him
an excellent candidate for this job. I'll be behind the scenes for awhile,
since there are some structural changes I'd like to make but I'd rather have
Kevin do the work. Please, people, direct your patches at Kevin and watch
his "freetime deprivation process" _really_ start. :-P
(only ja-linux-netscape is back to sada-san)
My short vacation finished and I have no longer
enough time to keep maintaining my ports.
- Move some local-distfiles from my site to asami-san's.
- Some cosmetic changes around removing kde*-i18n ports.
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.
XFree86 (3 or 4) to depend to when USE_XLIB is set.
XFREE86_VERSION defaults to 3 for now, but adventurous users can
override it in /etc/make.conf. When XFREE86_VERSION=3, USE_XLIB
will add a dependency to x11/XFree86; when it is set to 4, the
dependency will be to x11/XFree86-4-libraries. When
XFREE86_VERSION=4, the PKG_IGNORE_DEPENDS and ALWAYS_BUILD_DEPENDS
hacks to avoid messing with XFree86 are turned off.
Since XFree86 version 4 includes some software that used to be
separate ports, when XFREE86_VERSION=3 the following variables are
provided:
USE_DGS LIB_DEPENDS on x11/dgs
USE_FREETYPE LIB_DEPENDS on print/freetype
USE_MESA LIB_DEPENDS on graphics/Mesa3
USE_XPM LIB_DEPENDS on graphics/xpm
When XFREE86_VERSION=4, these variables have no effect. The
LIB_DEPENDS in the tree for the above four ports have all been
converted to the USE_* counterparts. For your information, this
is the count of the number of ports:
USE_DGS 0
USE_FREETYPE 16
USE_MESA 36
USE_XPM 236
There is a new variable, XAWVER, which is set to 6 when
XFREE86_VERSION=3 and 7 when XFREE86_VERSION=4. This is also
passed to PLIST_SUB so ports that build Xaw based shared libraries
can use this variable to substitute the shlib version number.
There is also a provision of using a separate mtree file for
XFREE86_VERSION=4, but that part is not enabled yet.
Reviewed by: the ports list
Tested by: make index (XFREE86_VERSION=3 only)

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).

Approved by: imura, asami
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.
