This transition is a little annoying, but I still think it will be much less of a hassle to do it all together so there aren't any compatibility issues. AFAIK, nothing has really changed from what I wrote about in the PR. I maintain gpa and I could use what is in the CVS for it to make it compatible with libassuan 2.x. They have not made an official release that works with libassuan 2.x. There is a release candidate for dirmngr-1.1.0 which works with libassuan 2.x. That RC is from March 9, so there hasn't been much movement on that. http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2010-March/025565.html Support for libassuan 2.x is in the KDE SVN and should be included in KDE 4.5 which is due out in August. - Jason _______________________________________________ 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
