Now ppl can use the kdemultimedia port, and, from what I've been able to test here, it works... If someone wants to improve the port, by all means, go for it. I didn't take someone's port, disagree with the patches they had for that release and just whip them out...I upgraded a BROKEN port to a newer release of the software, to which the existing patches were not appropriate. > apart from just making the port compile.

And even less appropriate were this the case, or else the 'idiosyncrasies' weren't apparent when I built the newer release of kdemultimedia... Again, I'm not going to cry out if someone changes the port...my only goal was to get it to a working state, which I did...if someone doesn't agree with the removal of one of the patches, send me a copy of it that works with the new port and I put it back in again, its no skin off my back...
