Hi Adriaan

Last week I've Blogged about the KDE4 status on FreeBSD.
(http://miwi.bsdcrew.de/2008/02/21/freebsd-kde4-status/)

Generally KDE4 works ok here, but we have a Big list of open tasks.

Some Open Issues:
  * The checks cmake does against library versions (xine/samba/qca2) is broken.
       (example: Xine: xine-lib v1.1.10 was found on your system.
        This version is known to have problems when playing short
	sounds. Consider upgrading to version 1.1.9 or above.)
   * kopete Crash with video session (we need here someone with a webcam :P)
   * The network folder in kopete does not connect to ssh/ftp$
   * kcd crashes at start
   * The Ctrl key does not seem to work like it should (US Keyboardlayout).
   * System Monitor crashes
   * Desktops Effects cause X11 to crash (with nividia)
   * IPv6 borken
   * konqueror crashes on JavaScript
   * konqueror takes a long time to load html pages
   * klauncher dumps core sometimes

Actually, I'm working on the switch to USE_CMAKE and doing the first
build tests on a tinderbox to set the correct dependencies. Yesterday
I started to write the first parts on the new bsd.kde(4).mk framework.
The proposal for it will come later.
