Humm, so this sounds like a pretty complex port to bring over then. I'll be glad to help test it out a bit if you can get something to a buildable state, but the actual porting is probably a bit beyond my skill :) I will be taking a look at the kipi-plugins-kde4 again though, I had a port about ready to go previously, and was just waiting for 4.2 to hit. -- Kris Moore PC-BSD Software http://www.pcbsd.com _______________________________________________ kde-freebsd mailing list kde-freebsd@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-freebsd See also http://freebsd.kde.org/ for latest information
