Does anyone know when can we expect KDE5 in FreeBSD? Better support for Rust would be also nice :(

Doesn't it rely on dbus and by extension systemd?
- fredmorcos 10y ago
  No. It's the other way around. SyStEmD depends on dbus. You can depend on dbus without depending on SyStEmD but you can't depend on SyStEmD without depending on dbus.

      Lennart gets pissy about spelling. https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ Oh, and yea, systemd depends on dbus, not the other way around. (one of the dumbest decisions in the whole thing, if you ask me)

        Some of that sounds like he's having a bit of fun, not sure if I'm mistaken though

        What that dbus doesn't depend on systemd? It's good that it doesn't because people that don't run Linux want to use it.

  Since you mentioned it, here's an update. My testing went well except for one issue which was with unlocking after the screen locked. That turned out to be because I'd built using a jail that was built before pam was updated, but was testing on a system after the pam update (11.0-BETA2). Also, the sddm package didn't build because the kdemerge tool can't merge the UIDs/GIDs files. That was changed to go ahead and build the package and give a pkg-message to create the user. I want people to be able to test using 11.0-BETA2 and have sddm, so I've updated the jail and am currently in the process of rebuilding the packages. Because the jail changed, everything builds from scratch, so it's taking a little while, but when they're done building (should be soon), I'll test some more and write up some docs on testing KDE5 and post them for those who are interested.

    Oh, and to give credit where it's due, all I'm doing is setting up poudriere and jenkins. The guys working in the area51 deserve all the real credit for doing the real hard work of getting things working.

      Now you confused me, where should I donate?
