You wouldn't be saying this if you put in the same amount of time working on FreeBSD as each of us. Therefore, your logic is invalid. Welcome to reality. I should note that it is not easy to keep up with KDE and a number of other things (GNOME comes to mind) as far as ports goes, because they often use Linuxcentric code, and that takes more time to fix. There are a variety of other reasons why there's some delay in keeping up.. like some of us have a real life to tend to as well. Again, until you speak from experience, you do not really understand what's going on here. -- wca To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
