The KDE/&os; Team have continued to improve the experience of + KDE software and Qt under &os;. During this quarter, the team + has kept most of the KDE and Qt ports up-to-date, working on the + following releases:

+ + + +

As a result — according to PortScout + — kde@ has 473 ports (up from 431), of which + 98.73% are up-to-date (up from 93.5%). iXsystems Inc. + continues to provided a machine for the team to build packages + and to test updates. iXsystems Inc. has been providing the + KDE/&os; Team with support for quite a long time and we are very + grateful for that. This quarter, we would also like to thank + Steve Wills (swills@) for providing access to another + machine so that we can do our work even faster.

+ +

While a great deal of the team's efforts are focused towards + packaging released code, we also take a proactive stand in + making sure future versions of the software we port is also + going to work well on &os;. This involves being in close + contact with upstream, raising awareness of &os; as an active + project and also sending actual patches that most of the time + benefit many other operating systems besides &os; itself. In + this regard, we have been dedicating a lot of time making sure + both clang and libc++ are fully supported in + KDE and Qt. Not only has this resulted in many patches being + sent to these projects, but the exposure to these large code + bases have been beneficial to the Clang-on-&os; project as well. + Dimitry Andric (dim@) has been of great help as a point + of contact for all the issues we have faced.

+ +

As usual, the team is always looking for more testers and + porters so please contact us at kde@FreeBSD.org and + visit our home page at http://FreeBSD.kde.org. It + would be especially useful to have more helping hands on tasks + such as getting rid of the dependency on the defunct HAL project + and providing integration with KDE's Bluedevil Bluetooth + interface.

+ + + + Update out-of-date ports, see PortScout + for a list. + Work on KDE 4.11 and Qt 5. + Make sure the whole KDE stack (including Qt) builds and works + correctly with clang and libc++. + Remove the dependency on HAL. + +
