====== 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.

  - Update ''%%KDE4_VERSION%%'' in ''%%KDE/Mk/bsd.kde4.mk%%''.
  - Use ''%%Tools/scripts/kdedistup%%'' to update the ''%%distinfo%%'' files for the ports; do not forget the l10n ports as well.
  - Reset/remove ''%%PORTREVISION%%'' from the affected ports.
  - ''%%svn commit%%'' to area51.
  - Test the new release in Poudriere, adjust the plists and patches as necessary.
    - Update the area51 checkout;
    - Merge the update with ''%%Tools/scripts/kdemerge -km /path/to/ports/tree%%''.
    - 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:

<code bash>
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.
</code>

  - Check for conflicts with ''%%Tools/scripts/kdeconflicts%%'' and by hand.
  - Write ''%%UPDATING%%'' notes.
  - Ask for exp-run if it is a major update.
  - 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/%%'').
  - ''%%cd /tmp/ports && svn diff%%'' to see if everything is OK.
  - Commit (in several steps, if committing also ''%%PORTS/%%'' updates) and be happy.
  - Close open PRs solved by the commit.
  - Announce the update on %%FreeBSD%%.kde.org.
