[KDE/Mac] KDE 4.13

Indeed!

I guess so, but the effort to maintain devel ports or variants is very high and I can imagine that Nicolas doesn't want to invest that much time extra. He's got enough to do with the normal releases.

Oh, I thought nepomuk is obsolete from now on...

Oh...

That's why I joined that discussion about how to effectively DISABLE (or perhaps not even install) baloo on OSX.

I don't know whether we actually have nepomuk turned off currently on MacPorts...
Nicolas, do you know about that??

Oh, I think all of us heard. It's just that there is noone proficient and willing enough to come up with Spotlight integration into KDE.

Let's hope so.
