New KDE PIM

[vertexSymphony]

Hi people!

I was wondering what happened with the new stable Akonadi-based PIM that was announced for KDE 4.6.4. Any idea why the ports tree still uses 4.4?

Thanks for reading!

Hi,

it is not stable enough:

Upstream already declared it stable? :\

But it is not stable enough for us.
We need a testing phase. As soon as it is ready, it will be committed. Meanwhile, you can be a tester.

@avilla & BrainDamage: after some testing I think you're both basically right ... it has *lots* of bugs and really needs user intervention to work properly.

Never though that KDE could declare as stable such a buggy software... or it's a FreeBSD-only problem?

Thanks a lot for answering!

or it's a FreeBSD-only problem?

No, it isn't. They had to release it to expose it to a wider userbase. This will make it grow faster.
