Howdy Guys,

Time to give you some info about our plan for
QT 4.5 and KDE 4.2.

A few weeks ago we tagged KDE_4_1 to begin the work
on QT4.5 and KDE 4.2. We now have a QT 4.5 preview
version in the area51 tree (which is really experimental).
On November 25th, KDE 4.2 BETA1 will come out,
I hope we are fast enough to get KDE 4.2 Beta 1 buildable
then we can call for testing with KDE 4.2 Beta1.
I really hope we can get KDE 4.2 known bugs
fixed (namely googletalk, jabber, msn.).

For the record, if you want to test
KDE 4.1.3 please use:
svn co https://kf.athame.co.uk/kde-freebsd/tags/kde_4_1/
if you want to help us testing QT 4.5 / KDE 4.2 BETA 1
please use:
svn co https://kf.athame.co.uk/kde-freebsd/trunk/area51

Patches/Feedback of course are welcome.
 
Current local patches

I had to apply the following:

Make kdelibs3-nocups play nice with kde4, so that unported kde3 apps can be installed.

Make devel/cmake play nice with devel/ccache, because the ar binary is not in the same directory as the compiler.

I haven't send-pr'd these cause I wasn't sure they're the correct solution to the problem.

AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org

KDE4 has been updated from 4.1.4 to 4.2.0. A number of applications have been moved between packages. The easiest way to avoid various problems during update is to delete all KDE-4.1.4 ports and install KDE-4.2.0.

pkg_delete -f kde\*4.1.4\* automoc4-\*
portmaster -a (or portupgrade -a)
cd ${PORTSDIR}/x11/kde4 && make config && make install clean

That's from https://kf.athame.co.uk/kde-freebsd/trunk/area51 posed in this thread in November 2008.
Does it mean that we can try qt-4.5 and KDE 4.2 - right now ?

How to update KDE ports to area51?
