Hello, The qt7 backends have indeed been suppressed from the phonon code, for what I could see, and I indeed did not look up the backends proposed in the kde servers at this point. I am not sure if this is needed by any software depending on phonon, which is the main reason why I asked for a second opinion before committing it.
I am not sure that we could suppress the post-destroot phase also. This file is not installed by default by Phonon, and is only available when installing kdelibs4. Some other ports such as attica or dbusmenu-qt (among probably others) may have problems, as they are installed before kdelibs4, but I did not test this issue. I added the Portfile's diff to the ticket suggested by Ryan.

Thanks for looking into this. - MLD > > On Nov 3, 2011, at 1:12 PM, Nicolas Pavillon wrote: >> I noticed that phonon was quite behind in terms of version (4.4.2, from more >> than one year).
