[kde-freebsd] Tales of FreeBSD porting: KDE 4.7 and Telepathy-KDE

[Alberto Villa]

It’s time for another roadmap. And let’s make it fast.

What’s keeping KDE 4.7 still out of FreeBSD? Well, the high number of 
tarballs (and thus ports) in which it was split for this release. Actually 
they’re not too much, but they require a deep scan to update 
dependencies. We’ll probably be ready for a Call for tests in few days, 
and we would even like to provide test packages to make the process 
easier and get more feedback!
KDE PIM 4.7 will also be available, but I guess it won’t be ready to be 
committed along with other ports. Let’s hope in a mature 4.7.1!

Meanwhile, as a bonus, you’re free to test the first release of 
Telepathy-KDE:
# <path to area51>/Tools/scripts/kdemerge -m /usr/ports
# make install -C /usr/ports/net-im/telepathy-kde
