However, with the 'freeze' now in effect, there obviously is not chance of that happening. Only if you install the earlier version of KDE via sysinstall. If you know KDE 4.4 is coming after the release of 7.3, then don't install the older version when you install 7.3. Or, install just the bare minimum kdelibs/kdebase. You have plenty of advanced warning, so it's not going to be a surprise. :) Personally, I always recommend to people that they don't use sysinstall to install anything except the base OS. Don't bother with the ports tree install, don't bother with installing packages off the CD. Just install the base OS, and boot into it. Then use all the standard tools (portsnap, pkg_version, pkg_add, portmaster/portupgrade, portaudit, etc) to install what you want. That way, you know exactly what's happening, and you get exactly what you want, when you want it. -- Freddie Cash fjwc...@gmail.com ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: [HEADSUP]: ports feature freeze now in effect
It would be nice to get the new version installed prior to the release of FreeBSD-7.3, IMHO. a) it's not sufficiently tested. b) an upgrade to xorg is in the wings. That's certainly going to affect even more ports. Waiting for both of those to be finished would mean delaying 7.3 even longer. IMHO we're in good shape where we are to get a quick release out and then do some other upgrades to get ready for 8.1. mcl ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
