+ AUTHOR: kde@freebsd.org
+
+ In KDE 3.4, a number of files were moved between ports, some ports
+ were added, one port has been removed and some applictions formerly available
+ in their own ports were incorporated into KDE. This means that you will have
+ to take some precautions to update your KDE installation. A simple
+ portupgrade -a will not work.
+
+ Portupgrade -R kde can fail as well, depending on what parts of KDE you
+ have currently installed. We therefore recommend sticking to the following
+ procedure. The procedure requires you to have sysutils/portupgrade installed
+ and you to be the superuser (or using sudo). We recommend not being logged in
+ to a KDE session on the machine you're performing the upgrade on. If you
+ choose to perform the update while being logged in to KDE, expect erratic
+ behaviour and crashes from applications launched until you log out and back
+ in.
+
+ 1.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE
+ ports.
+
+ pkg_deinstall -f kdeartwork-\[0-9\]\* kdebase-\[0-9\]\* \
+ kdebase-konqueror-nsplugins-\[0-9\]\* kdewebdev-\[0-9\]\* \
+ kde-\[0-9\]\* akregator\* phase\*
+
+ 2.) Now update the remaining KDE ports.
+
+ portupgrade arts\* kde\*
+
+ or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports:
+
+ portupgrade -a
+
+ 3.) Reinstall the KDE ports you deleted in step 2.
+
+ portinstall -O kdebase kdeartwork kdewebdev
+
+ Changes in detail:
+
+ - www/akregator is now included into deskutils/kdepim3.
+ - x11-themes/phase is now included in x11-themes/kdeartwork3.
+ - www/konqueror-nsplugins has been removed and is now integrated into
+ x11/kdebase3.
+ - Juk has been split out of multimedia/kdemultimedia3 and is now
+ available as audio/juk.
+ - Akode has been split out of multimedia/kdemultimedia3 and is now
+ available as audio/akode and audio/akode-plugins-*. Akode is also
+ a default dependency of multimedia/kdemultimedia3 now.
+ - audio/mpeglib_artsplug has been demoted to legacy status and is no
+ longer the default decoder backend for kdemultimedia3. It's also not
+ depended on by kdemultimedia3 by default anymore.
+
+ Known post-updating issues:
+
+ - If you're missing acoustic notifications (system sounds) after the update:
+
+ rm ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc
+
+ Then log out of KDE and back in again (also see
+ http://freebsd.kde.org/faq.php#q16).
+
+ - kdm users might get warnings from kdm about obsolete lines in kdmrc.
+ You can migrate your configuration while preserving your customizations
+ by running (as root or with sudo)
+
+ genkdmconf
+
+ Make sure to backup your old kdm configuration (usually found in
+ /usr/local/share/config/kdm) beforehand in case the merge produces an
+ invalid configuration. Especially note that kdm does not use the Xservers
+ file anymore. A genkdmconf run will merge its contents into kdmrc.
+
+ Extensive information about changes and new features of KDE 3.4 can be found
+ at http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/kde-3.4-features.html. Bugs
+ can be reported at http://bugs.kde.org.
