Comment (by rjvbertin@…):

 > get kate to build with this already!

 It's high on my list of new ports to add. I'm expecting two things: 1) it
 should build and 2) it won't be that easy ;)

 > manage version updates for all those sub-ports now? Do you use some
 script to get the checksums in sync with the corresponding version?

 Frameworks are synced and thus always have the same version (possibly with
 some additional things added in case of devel ports).
 I have indeed considered putting all checksums into an array and then
 create a script that calls say `port -v checksum` for all subports in the
 correct order. I'm afraid the array won't improve readability though; what
 we'd really need is a tool that replaces the checksum values
 automatically. "base" already shows what they should be based on what the
 portfile provides.

 > create the individual lists of dependencies of all those sub-ports, is
 it manually done or scripted??

 Done manually; I don't really see any other way to do it because not all
 frameworks declare their dependencies the exact same way.

 For both maintenance chores I can only hope that updates will be less and
 less frequent, and that the dependencies won't change much.
