Contributed by Peter N. M. Hansteen on 2025-07-30 from the classic come-on dept. Much longed for by some, remembered as a quaint memory by other greybeards, the classic Common Desktop Environment (CDE) is being added to the ports collection. The initial commit message reads, List: openbsd-ports-cvs Subject: CVS: cvs.openbsd.org: ports From: Antoine Jacoutot <ajacoutot () cvs ! openbsd ! org> Date: 2025-07-28 12:35:38 CVSROOT: /cvs Module name: ports Changes by: ajacoutot@cvs.openbsd.org 2025/07/28 06:35:38 Log message: Import cde-2.5.2 CDE - The Common Desktop Environment is X Windows desktop environment that was commonly used on commercial UNIX variants such as Sun Solaris, HP-UX and IBM AIX. Developed between 1993 and 1999, it has now been released under an Open Source licence by The Open Group. => this is not hooked to the build yet as it still needs some fixes and improvements. tweak and ok sthen@ Status: Vendor Tag: ajacoutot Release Tags: ajacoutot_20250728 N ports/x11/cde/distinfo N ports/x11/cde/Makefile N ports/x11/cde/pkg/DESCR N ports/x11/cde/pkg/PLIST N ports/x11/cde/pkg/README N ports/x11/cde/patches/patch-programs_dtksh_ksh93_src_lib_libast_features_wchar N ports/x11/cde/patches/patch-doc_Makefile_am N ports/x11/cde/patches/patch-lib_DtMmdb_btree_berkeley_memmove_c N ports/x11/cde/patches/patch-programs_dtcm_libDtCmP_util_h N ports/x11/cde/patches/patch-programs_dtmail_include_DtMail_DtMailTypes_h No conflicts created by this import It is worth noting that this is not linked to the build yet, so will likely not be immediately available as a package. But you are of course free to build the port locally and take in the classic Unix desktop experience. Also worth noting is ajacoutot@'s warning: […] I wouldn't use is as a daily driver, it's old unsecure code but it's fun if you want to bring back memories. […] The Editors look forward to seeing this properly available as a package in a future snapshot.
