Hello,

I have uploaded packages for FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE at
packager@master.kde.org:~/2.1/FreeBSD/.  This includes the following:
kdesupport kdelibs, kdebase, kdegames, kdenetwork, kdetoys, kdeutils,=20
kdegraphics, and kdemultimedia.  Qt 2.2.4 is also uploaded as a
reference only.  The compile machine was running 4.2-STABLE as of Friday
February 23, 2001.

[  for ports@FreeBSD.org:  above packages will be available from
   ftp.kde.org (and mirrors) on Monday.  ]

Notes on these packages:

	1) Tested only on XFree86 4.0.2 (which has threads enabled).
	   People using 3.3.6 or older are probably out of luck and need
	   to compile it themselves.  People using 4.0.1 may also be out
	   of luck due to threads issues.  I haven't been able to
	   sufficiently test this except on my own system.
	2) Some multimedia apps (notably noatun) don't seem to work
	   quite right yet.  *sigh*  :-(
	3) While adding the packages, it is strongly advised to use the
	   -f option since the package tools aren't smart enough yet to
	   detect "sufficient" dependencies.  That is if your machine
	   already has X4.0.2 of some variation as well as QT >=3D 2.2.3.
	4) For the paranoid, there is a packages.md5 file which will
	   verify (to an extent) whether the packages are the same as
	   they were when they left my machine.  For the *really*
	   paranoid (and those that have GnuPG :), there are also *.sig
	   files for each package, signed with the same key that this
	   email is.
	5) (Followup to #1:) People who can't seem to get the packages I
	   rolled to work and don't want to build KDE 2.1 from source
	   (via ports, which I will update on Monday as soon as the
	   release announcement is out) can wait between 5 and 10 days
	   before packages for X3.3.6 & 4.2-STABLE/5.0-CURRENT are built
	   by the automatic packaging system used by the FreeBSD Project.

Other than that, my initial QA testing (4 hours of playing around and such)
indicates that this is the best release ever rolled for FreeBSD & KDE2.

Cheers!  :-)
