I suspect this means we won't get KDE 4.4 for quite some time...

I am not sure how close KDE 4.4 is but it would have been nice to get
KDE in before the freeze

We the FreeBSD KDE Team are happy to let you know KDE SC 4.4.0 was
released few mins ago, and we're ready for a public test. Before
you ask we don't want to put KDE 4.4.0 in the ports tree before
FreeBSD 7.3 was released.

It would be nice to get the new version installed prior to the release
of FreeBSD-7.3, IMHO. Unless I am drastically wrong, installing the
new version will require a massive update of libraries, etc, similar to
the recent 'jpeg' update. It would make for a much cleaner update to
the new FreeBSD version if this procedure preceded the update rather
than postdated it. However, with the 'freeze' now in effect, there
obviously is not chance of that happening.

KDE 4.4 is coming after the release of 7.3, then don't install the older
version when you install 7.3. Or, install just the bare minimum
kdelibs/kdebase. You have plenty of advanced warning, so it's not going to
be a surprise. :)

Personally, I always recommend to people that they don't use sysinstall to
install anything except the base OS. Don't bother with the ports tree
install, don't bother with installing packages off the CD. Just install the
base OS, and boot into it. Then use all the standard tools (portsnap,
pkg_version, pkg_add, portmaster/portupgrade, portaudit, etc) to install
what you want. That way, you know exactly what's happening, and you get
exactly what you want, when you want it.
