Reassign MAINTAINER to kde@FreeBSD.org, a group formed specifically to
maintain and improve QT/KDE on FreeBSD. This group (at this time) consists
of: demon, olgeni, kevlo, lauri@kde.org, rwatson, and will.
Overhaul QT/KDE support: - bsd.port.mk update to use bsd.kde.mk for
USE_{QT,KDE}* - Cleanup corresponding ports for bsd.kde.mk update. - Fix
bsd.kde.mk: use correct kdelibs dependency, put qt at the bottom, introduce
QT_NONSTANDARD variable for nonstandard configure setup. - Update KDE2 to
2.1.1. Two patches included in x11/kdelibs2 to fix the proxy authentication
that was broken for 2.1.1. Remove old patches. - Potentially fix kdelibs
build for alpha. - Fix qt-designer 2.3.0 build. - Ruby stuff left alone
since it looks like black magic to me. Should still work w/ compat shims
for older USE_QT[,2] style. Some others were also left alone for the same
reason.
Bring in my fixes for KDE2 for users of XFree86 4.0.x. Basically, what this
involves is this: Cull GL from Qt by default, but still provide a Qt+GL
library that may or may not have threads. Then also provide a Qt library that
has threads but not GL. This allows us to make KDE2 depend on a library that
will *not* have threads, ever. Threads will be revisited at a later date.
Ports that require GL support need to be updated to use the hacked library,
libqtgl.so.4. The net result is that we bloat our qt2 package by 1.5-2.5MB
for compatability. Also, static qt will not have GL support.
Bring in my KDE 2.1 + X 4.0.2 + threads "fixes". WARNING: Doesn't quite work
right yet. This needs other eyes to look at in order for me to figure out
what's going on here. Help, please?
Lo and behold, welcome KDE 2.1 to our ports tree. As a direct result of 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!
Resign as maintainer of KDE2 ports, having brought them up from inception 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
Update to KDE 1.94, the fifth and final beta release of KDE 2.0. If you 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! :-)
Update to 20000829A snapshot. Disable kdenetwork2 for the time being so 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... :-(
Update to 20000724A (custom-rolled snapshot). Rejoice, because now 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. :-)
Add ODBC library support and turn it back on in kdesupport2. I will be using
similar fixes to this to get proper linking with exception handling code in
other KDE2 ports.
