Hi Mario x11/kde is basically the new big-fat metaport. It pulls in the desktop (plasma5) and many applications
1) most of the stuff is under ~/.config now 3) there should be a some import of the configuration happening theoretically... not sure how good it works -- be save, make a backup of your config =) 2) kde4-worskpace got back in due to a bad git-merge -- it will get dropped again. kde-runtime is also is only there as a dangling port -- not really needed by anything anymore -- I should clean that up :) 3) if you install x11/kde with all the meta-port options enabled you'll get the full thing. -- it more or less depends on what you need... isntalling x11/plasma5-plasma-desktop + "the applications you need" is also a slimer possibility. mfg Tobias On 19 September 2017 at 20:43, Mario Lobo <l...@bsd.com.br> wrote: > Thanks for answering.
