Several kde4 apps including printer-applet is written on python. So PyKDE4, which is a part of kdebindings, should be ported at first. I had a hope that Danny Ricin would port it, seems he has no time for py-qt/kde currently. I've started kdebinding port for kde-4.1.0 (http://people.freebsd.org/~makc/ports/kdebindings-4.1.0.tar.bz2), but have stopped for lack of time. The port requires a lot of work to fit it for our ports infrastructure. Dima Panov has created port for python bindings (see http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-freebsd/2009-January/004328.html) and faced with one of the problems. First, kde4 ports are supposed to be installed in ${KDE4_PREFIX} to prevent conflicts with kde3. But kdebindings4 in case of python binding should install files to ${PYTHON_SITELIBDIR}, which is somewhere under ${LOCALBASE}. Same for ruby and php bindings (don't know anything about java and mono/csharp bindings). We could try install bindings to ${LOCALBASE}, if bindings dependent apps would be ok with this (I hope so). Or install them to KDE4_PREFIX, if python/ruby/etc can live with several PYTHON_*DIR/RUBY_*DIR. The second problems is how cmake does check for python/ruby. Freebsd ports provides several versions of python/ruby (and several versions could be installed in the same time) and kdebindings4 ports should respect that. The only way I see is to rewrite FindRuby/FindPython.cmake for our needs. Anyway I think kde-4.2.0 ports should be with at least python and ruby bindings, so I will restart my work soon. Help is appreciated, especially for java/csharp bindings (if anybody wants them).
