Yes I’m alive A small update of what’s going
on here. At the beginning of this month we Called
for Testing of the new Qt-4.5 for FreeBSD, most
dependency ports build and work fine but unfortunately
py-qt4 from the portstree failed, we have now to wait
for the KDE 4.3 release to upgrade to Qt-4.5, py-qt-4.5,
and KDE 4.3. We hope to get KDE 4.3 ready before the
portsfreeze begins on 17 August. I should also now
mention that KDE 4.3 will be the last release that
I actively work on. I’ll have to step down after this
release for a while. You know I also have the Gecko
gang which needs a lot of love, I’ll post more about
that soon. Also I’d like to begin to work on some
infrastructure stuff . That’s all for the moment

So long ..

Howdy,

The KDE FreeBSD Team is happy to announce the secound public
Call for Testing with Qt-4.5.2. Recently, we focused
on the complex and very time consuming task of getting
the Qt-4.5.2 and KDE-4.3 ports into much better shape
so we can now go on the next step: much wider public
testing.

We’re planning to update Qt to the end of Week. It
would be usefull to get some feedback.

Note for KDE 4.2.X users, If you want to play with
Qt 4.5 before we commit it, you need to deinstall
multimedia/phonon and install multimeda/qt4-phonon
instead.

Happy Testing!

Yesterday Firefox 3.5 was released, and few hours
later it was in the Portstree. But I see that
some pepole can’t right read. So Please READ
the pkg-messages carefully:

Firefox 3.5 and HTML5

Certain functions used to display HTML5 elements need the sem module.

If your Firefox crashes with the following message while viewing a
HTML5 page:
“Bad system call (core dumped)”

you need to load the sem module (kldload sem).

To load sem on every boot put the following into your
/boot/loader.conf:
sem_load=”YES”

We’d like to say thank you to everyone who
helped make this possible.
