As Nick mentions, we're currently subjecting pkgsrc to a freeze in
the runup to the 1.5 tag and release. This means that no new
functionality will be added without a stonking good reason, especially
where it affects a number of other packages, as is the case with kde2.

Having said that, most people I've talked to seem to keep fairly
up-to-date with pkgsrc, even machines running NetBSD Release Branch
software, so expect to see some interesting commits when the tag
is made and the freeze is lifted.

The only other question is: why do you want a kde2 package? Is the
enlightenment package broken? :-) :-) :-)

Regards,
Alistair
