yes, so a lot of the support can be built, but the kde portions which drive it
still need to be tuned a bit, and I haven't touched that yet.

I'm currently working with hal, which may turn to a 32-bit only
package since I'm missing
64-bit ssl/crypto on S10 unless I pkg up a later version of openssl, or find a
64-bit ssl/crypto package that glues into /usr/sfw/lib.

I have another 50 packages of stuff I had converted to the 4.1.4 spec
model which
I need to convert to 4.4.0, and then there's the rest of the
dependencies, that I hadn't
converted.

Here is an overview of the process of changing from a Dude tarball to spec:

http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_on_Solaris/FOSS_specfiles

and an explanation of the current top level spec file used in FOSS

http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_on_Solaris/FOSS_specfiles_example1

The base spec file is referenced a bit in the first page, and I'll get around to
detailing it later.

Finally, http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_on_Solaris/Status has a
list of all
the packages that have been converted to spec, with upgrades identified.

Ben
