yes, I guess it could be actually the best solution to keep it in BOTH places! This
would have the advantage of spreading all patches in both worlds: MacPorts and KDE.

I’ll test a setup and let you know how it goes.

Yes, that’s very tedious and I also would want to avoid all that, instead rather prefer
keeping only a stable kdelibs4 port on MacPorts’ official tree.

Yep, agreed.


OK, will let you guys know what I get done. Don’t expect me rushing, though. :)

Greets,
