KDE 3.5.6 in ports

Tuesday, 13 March 2007

KDE 3.5.6 has been committed to ports.

UPDATING:

20070313:
  AFFECTS: users of x11/kdebase3
  AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org

The HAL option has been turned on by default and the fstabbackend
patches which have kept the fstab backend for the media kioslave
at the status quo of KDE 3.5.3 have been removed. This means that


MOUNTING DEVICES THROUGH KDE WILL NO LONGER WORK WITHOUT HAL.


Thus if you wish to use device icons or the media:/ view in Konqueror,
make sure to turn on the HAL option in the x11/kdebase3 port and also
read /usr/ports/UPDATING entry 20061219 and
http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q19 for more information on
using HAL.
