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
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).

discovered that my kdesupport2 port was botched. However, after testing
and discovering that kdegames does not need kdesupport, it is being updated
now. I hope to finish the rest of the job soon.

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!!
bsd.port.mk rev. 1.304 for details on the change.
The fix here is one of the following.
(1) Define USE_BZIP2 instead of BUILD_DEPENDS on bzip2 and redefining
EXTRACT_* commands.
(2) Change ${EXTRACT_CMD} to ${TAR} when the command is obviously
calling the "tar" command (i.e., arguments like "-xzf" are spelled
out).
(3) If ${EXTRACT_CMD} is called directly with ${EXTRACT_BEFORE_ARGS},
add ${EXTRACT_AFTER_ARGS} to the command line as well.
(4) If any of EXTRACT_CMD, EXTRACT_BEFORE_ARGS or EXTRACT_AFTER_ARGS
is set, define the other two too.
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 ...
installs the version of the port that uses shared library number 9 and the
LIBRARY_VERSION set to the default. Normally this is against our policy
(bumping the version number for minor things), however due to the major
problems caused with the upgrade, Satoshi and I decided that this was best.

kdegames -> games/
kdenetwork -> net/
kdesupport -> converters/
kdeutils -> misc/
(Repository copy already done, dependency path and category name fixups
is being done in this commit.)
(2) Add a virtual category "kde" and add all six (incl. x11/kde{base,lib})
ports.
(3) Make package names follow the convention.
(4) Change "BUILD_DEPENDS=${X11R6}/bin/moc:..." to "...=moc:...".
There is no need to specify the full pathname if the target is an
executable in the standard path. (Actually, as the same port is
specified in LIB_DEPENDS, I think we can completely do away with
this line but since Stefan added this explicitly, I assume there
is a reason for it and left it alone.)
