Preparing a new KDE release

This is a list of steps for importing a new KDE release into area51 and later committing it to the ports tree.

1. Update KDE4_VERSION in KDE/Mk/bsd.kde4.mk.
2. Use Tools/scripts/kdedistup to update the distinfo files for the ports; do not forget the l10n ports as well.
3. Reset/remove PORTREVISION from the affected ports.
4. svn commit to area51.
5. Test the new release in Poudriere, adjust the plists and patches as necessary.
   1. Update the area51 checkout;
   2. Merge the update with Tools/scripts/kdemerge -km /path/to/ports/tree.
   3. Build x11/kde4, devel/kdebindings4 and misc/kde4-l10n in all supported releases. poudriere bulk -t is preferred, since it runs as many sanity tests as possible. If an unrelated port causes the build to fail, try testing only the KDE ports:

cd /path/to/x11/kde4
make all-depends-list | sed -e 's,/path/to/,,' > ~/kde4-port-list
$EDITOR ~/kde4-port-list  # Remove unwanted ports
sudo poudriere bulk -t -C -f ~/kde4-port-list
# Rinse and repeat for kdebindings4 and kde4-l10n.

1. Check for conflicts with Tools/scripts/kdeconflicts and by hand.
2. Write UPDATING notes.
3. Ask for exp-run if it is a major update.
4. Use Tools/scripts/kdemerge -ck /tmp to create a ports tree checkout in /tmp/ports containing only the ports in KDE/ (add -m if there are required updates in PORTS/).
5. cd /tmp/ports && svn diff to see if everything is OK.
6. Commit (in several steps, if committing also PORTS/ updates) and be happy.
7. Close open PRs solved by the commit.
8. Announce the update on FreeBSD.kde.org.
