What do you count as downtime? When it's in the middle of rebuilding kde, and I want to use kde, I consider kde down. I've been in that situation with Source Mage, and I got kwrite windows with the toolbar icons totally mixed up. I'm running pkg_check before starting to rebuild, and I got this: WARNING: No graphics/kdegraphics4/Makefile - package moved or obsolete? WARNING: No misc/kdeutils4/Makefile - package moved or obsolete? WARNING: No mail/postfix-current/Makefile - package moved or obsolete? WARNING: No x11/kdebase-runtime4/Makefile - package moved or obsolete? WARNING: No x11/kdebase-workspace4/Makefile - package moved or obsolete? WARNING: No x11/kdebase4/Makefile - package moved or obsolete? WARNING: No x11/kdebindings4-python/Makefile - package moved or obsolete? The kde packages are still in wip (which I just updated); there is a mail/postfix. Pierre -- When a barnacle settles down, its brain disintegrates. Já não percebe nada, já não percebe nada.
