If you're trying to set up a complete desktop environment (this

to decide
whether you want to use gnome or kde.
Technically, there is no reason why he cannot have gnome and KDE
installed at the same time. LInux distros have been doing this for
years ! If two ports include the same file, then that should be
consider a bug I think ?
This is often a bug, IMHO. I try to file tickets in these cases,
like this one for hicolor-icon-theme vs. kdebase4-runtime:
http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18936
Unfortunately it was closed as "wontfix".
I don't know Gnome or KDE. It seems to me like they should be able
to install simultaneously. However, they cannot, currently, in
MacPorts. Someone with enough interest in fixing that situation
would have to volunteer to work on it, and coordinate with the
existing Gnome and KDE maintainers.
Yeah, someone needs to step in and actually maintain these packages if
they're going to be more than 50% useable. I just noticed that some
gnome packages were not compiling because they were 2.24, were
depending on API that was removed in 2.26, and their dependencies were
bumped to 2.26 already. I bumped the ones that had problems to 2.26,
so atleast they compile and run now... but that's not exactly good QA.
I believe all of gnome is 'nomaintainer' ... anyone interested? Or
just crickets?
