Dear All ,


In

http://mirror-master.dragonflybsd.org/packages/x86_64/DragonFly-3.1/pkgsrc-2012Q2/All/


there is a package "kde-3.5.10.tgz" :


http://mirror-master.dragonflybsd.org/packages/x86_64/DragonFly-3.1/pkgsrc-2012Q2/All/kde-3.5.10.tgz


It seems that it is a "meta" package .



As a corresponding package , such a package does NOT exist for GNOME .


Such a package exists in


http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/current/pkgsrc/meta-pkgs/gnome/README.html

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/5.1_2012Q1/All/gnome-2.26.2nb4.tgz
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/5.1_2012Q2/All/gnome-2.26.2nb4.tgz



Without such a meta package , to install GNOME is difficult : By using
individual packages ,
it fetches the same depending packages many times which shows that some
install tries are redundant but it is
not known which ones .


..............................

In

http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/6.0/All/

there are the following packages which are missing in DragonFly :

http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/6.0/All/kde4-4.8.4.tgz
http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/6.0/All/k3b-2.0.2nb6.tgz

The following points are very important :

(1) K3b-2.0.*.tgz is important for backup requirements
(2) kde 4 is able to save the session on shutdown and
    then restore it on new login
(3) Auto-mount of removable devices


Thank you very much .
