 KDE is a powerful Free Software graphical desktop environment for Linux
 and Unix workstations.
 
-This package does not contain anything by itself -- it is a
-"meta-port" that depends on other KDE packages.  Its sole purpose is
-to require dependencies so users can install this package only and
-have all the KDE stuff pulled in by the port/package dependency mechanism.
-
-x11/kde contains current KDE Frameworks, Plasma Desktop and Applications.
+x11/kde contains Plasma Desktop and basic set of KDE Applications.
+More KDE applications can be found in x11/kde-applications metaport.
