Today I saw all KDE packages were anewed. I have a fbsd-4.11-stable machine that has KDE running. My other machines have 5.4, so I cannot build the 4.11 packages on one of those (faster) machines. And then there's this dicussion on the speed of 5.4 <-> 4.11 (the latter is said to be faster). Maybe it's just to early to make the switch to 5.x if all options needed are supported in 4.11-stable. If I install the latter on the new amd64 machine (dump /restore) I will have a very fast machine (i386) which can build the packages for the main server too. HOW LONG will FreeBSD-4.11 be supported ??
