Nachdem miwi und seine Kollegen in den letzten Wochen das sehr zeitraubende und komplizierte saubere Ausarbeiten der KDE 4.2 Ports geleistet haben, ist es nun Zeit für den nächstens Schritt: Öffentliche Tests. Wer also neugierig ist, was KDE 4.2 Neues bringen wird und wer zudem zeitnah eine fertige und vor allem fehlerfreie Portierung auf FreeBSD sehen möchte, hat nun die Gelegenheit ein wenig zu helfen.

We are happy to announce the first public Call for Testing
with KDE 4.2.
The past weeks we focused on the complex and very time
consuming task to get the KDE4.2 BETA2 ports into a much
better shape so we can now go on to the next step: much wider
public testing.
The experimental KDE ports are currently pulled from KDE
4.2 BETA 2 (4.1.85). Some of you may believe beta testing
is not worth it, but we want to get KDE 4.2 better then 4.1.
At the moment we would actually benefit from wider testing
the well prepared KDE 4.2 BETA 2 FreeBSD builds. We would
have much more opportunity and time to identify and eventually
correct FreeBSD specific problems with those.
We added the file UPDATING-area51. _PLEASE_ read this before you start
your update.
To get KDE 4.2:
try
svn co https://kf.athame.co.uk/kde-freebsd/tags/kde-4.1.85/ /path/to/area51
More infos here:

I like to say Thanks to all Helpers and Submitters on the kde-freebsd@
mailinglist.
That's all for the moment. Happy Testing!
