Checking this applies a couple of KDE-made patches (see http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/qt-copy/patches/) to the Qt source before building. They are not required to run KDE, so they are off by default and binary packages of Qt are built without the patches applied as well. If you choose to apply the patches, the package will be called qt-copy instead of qt and you won't get technical support from Trolltech if you run into issues. We added the option to the port because KDE developers have referred to those patches as bugfixes or workarounds occasionally on http://bugs.kde.org and the switch provides a more convenient way of applying them than having to fetch and applying them from SVN manually. -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | [EMAIL PROTECTED] (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org
