Comment (by kencu):
there are a bunch of tickets open about kde not working on newer systems
already.
I have been picking off the broken deps for a few months now (boost,
others).
Getting near to the point where we can give a go at building kdelibs4
again, and then maybe some of the actual KDE apps, which is what people
want.
The KDE ports are very bitrotted, and also, frankly very old and out of
date.
KDE5 works absolutely great in a simple linux VM -- that is how I run them
now. I don't know if anyone will every try to port the KDE5 ecosystem to
MacPorts .... and when they do, no doubt KDE6 will be the thing.
I wonder if there is actually any point to the KDE ecosystem in MacPorts
at all, and whether the entire bunch of old, outdated, fragile ports
should be dumped out.
