Slightly OT on this slightly OT thread, but a new subproject in KDE has started with the explicit aim of improving the quality of KDE on FreeBSD. We already have the ports maintainers, but they are few compared to the number of Linux-tainted developers out there. Heck, I was one until a few days ago (so now I'm still tainted, but my purpose is to run down all the linuxisms in the non-core packages and fix them). There's a new mailing list -- separate from kde@freebsd.org because of a different charter that we haven't quite thought up yet -- starting up for specific KDE-on-FreeBSD questions. I just can't remember what its address is. -- +------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+ + Adriaan de Groot + Project: FRESCoS + + adridg@cs.kun.nl + Private: adridg@sci.kun.nl + + Kamer A6020 tel. 024 3652272 + http://www.cs.kun.nl/~adridg/frescos/ + To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
