work right yet. This needs other eyes to look at in order for me to figure
out what's going on here. Help, please?
Basically, the current situation is this: You can hack the startkde
script to make KDE2 start all the way through, which basically consists of
simply replacing the kdeinit line with "kcminit". However, at certain
points after KDE is done setting things up, processes named "kdeinit" that
are in charge of certain apps go crazy and hit infinite loops somewhere. I
haven't been able to determine where exactly, and if this is related to
threads at all, or if a critical app or similar somehow doesn't get compiled
with threads. Or something like that. *sigh*
Konqueror can startup and seems to work okay in a different window manager,
but it seems to randomly set off a kdeinit proc as above.
Anyhow, this is 2 weeks' worth of debugging on a 4-month-old problem. If
you're using XFree86 4.0.2, I caution against trying this stuff out unless
you're going to help me out and are willing to help me figure out exactly
where the heck things are going awry. Things should still compile and work
just fine for those on XFree86 3.3.6. I decided to leave out these hacks
in nonessential stuff (like kdenetwork et al) because kde2 itself needs to
work with threads first. =)
I guess I can thank my lucky stars JKH's decided to stick with 3.3.6 until
some point in the future when 4.0.x becomes more stable...
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.

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
does not support OpenSSL <= 0.9.4. Also add USE_OPENSSL, to keep people
who don't have it installed from using the port. Perhaps that should be a
knob, in case people have some legitimate reason not to have OpenSSL.
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.
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
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).

Line up the rhs of variable assignments nicely. Remove a couple of extra
whitespaces while I'm here.

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.
Once we have had time to discuss whether this is the best method to solve
the broken configure behavior on most KDE ports, we will decide whether
to keep this commit or not.

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.

Only changed giflib -> libungif in kdegraphics.
They realy do NOT want libgif, and do NOT use libgif anywhere.
Some ports are checking its existence in configure, but they
are nonsense at all!!
