[kde-freebsd] are you trying to test kde 4.7?

[Alberto Villa]

it looks like several users are trying to build kde 4.7 from area51, and 
they keep facing obvious errors. i'd like to maintain a list of what's 
working and what's not, and a rough howto to solve those errors, but 
first:

THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR TESTS

i'm not encouraging people to test kde 4.7 from area51 (not yet), i just 
want to help those of you who are brave enough to have already 
started

if any of you has something to add to the thread, feel free to write and 
help. part of these instructions will eventually end up in UPDATING 
before the CFT

first thing first: CONFLICTS were not yet updated, but i'll try to list 
those i remember

kdehier - works, but requires hacking before updating:
# mv /usr/local/kde4/share/dbus-1/services/* 
/usr/local/share/dbus-1/services/
# mv /usr/local/kde4/share/dbus-1/system-services/* 
/usr/local/share/dbus-1/system-services/

kdelibs - works

kdebase/kde-baseapps - works. uninstall kdebase before installing kde-
baseapps. a normal update will not work because of CONFLICTS with 
konsole and kate ports

konsole, kate - work. uninstall kdebase before installing (they are 
optional dependencies of kde-baseapps anyway)

kdebase-workspace/kde-workspace - works. `portmaster -o x11/kde4-
workspace kdebase-workspace` should work

kdebase-runtime/kde-runtime - works. `portmaster -o x11/kde4-
runtime kdebase-runtime` should work

kdepimlibs - works

kdepim(-runtime) - work. they default to 4.4.11.1. if you want to test 4.7 
(it won't go to ports along with kde) you need to `kdemerge -m` AFTER 
`kdemerge -k`

kdeutils, kdemultimedia, kdenetwork, kdeartwork, kdesdk, 
kdeaccessibility, kde-wallpapers, marble - work

ktts/jovie - works. `portmaster -o accessibility/jovie ktts` should work. 
it's a dependency of kdeaccessibility

kdeadmin, kdegames, kdetoys - untested

kdeplasma-addons, kdegraphics, kdeedu, kdebindings (any), kdeutils-
printer-applet, kdewebdev, kdeplasma-scriptengines (any) - don't work

again, i'm not encouraging anyone, nor i'm taking any responsibility for 
issues you might get due to wrong instructions

good luck!
