Kmess 2

[caesius]

I've noticed Kmess version in ports (kmess 1.5) is ooold, and still uses kde3 libs.

I downloaded the source for kmess2 (that uses kde4) and installed it without problem.

Is there a reason I'm missing why this change hasn't been commited, or at least forked off to another port, kmess-kde4?

May be you are the first one to do this?
You win the right to submit a problem report with an update for this port!

Contact the current port maintainer and report your findings, so he can submit the newer version. Or roll your own (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/own-port.html).
