For example, if you check the cvs-repository, nothing has been modified on kdegames since it was updated to version 3.1 6 days ago. About 18 hours ago, I cvsuped ports-all, rebuilt INDEX like you are supposed to do after cvsuping, and then ran portupgrade -pufr qt This rebuilt all of the ports that depend on qt-3.1.1_2 and pretty much includes all of kde and arts. What version are you trying to upgrade kde from? The older versions basically require a package delete and fresh install. They also don't work with XFree86-3.3.6. You have to use version 4.x. If a port requires to much space, then you need to use the prebuilt packages. Kent
On the ports site, there is no link to the sources - What is going on here?
BTW, I am using the latest version of XFree86 (4.2 or whatever, not the 3.6.6) and I regularly update - usually on Weekends. Usually, the problems I encounter are just the kind of thing I am experiencing now, there is no source listed for the arts program and the rest of the KDE3 port seems to be unaware of this .... :((
Now, what do I do? :((
