Hello, I have looked at threads on this issue from 12jun06 and 2jun06 and http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kde-split-ebuilds.xml. By the way, this doc is good for explaining the issues, but does not explain a clear method to perform the migration form mono to meta......
Is there an easy way to remove all of the kde packages before migration to kde-meta? I like having as many kde apps installed as possible. For me, it makes it easier to find cool (kde) softaware. But if meta is going away, like the monolithic kde packaging (eventually) I'd rather go straight to the split kde package system. Comments and Recommendations on kde-meta's future? emerge -atv kde-meta lists many packages and I'm too lazy to remove them all by hand.... snip These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done! .[blocks B ] =kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.5* (is blocking kde-base/kaboodle-3.5.2) .[blocks B ] =kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.5* (is blocking kde-base/kdemultimedia-kappfinder-data-3.5.2) snip Is there an easier way to do a bulk upgrade from mono to meta ? >From mono to split? Some gentoo/kde systems I manage will want to go to the split system or a few kde-meta packages and the rest of the kde(split) apps individually installed. Any enlightenment is most welcome, as I get busy quite often and do not necessarily keep up with the latest issed on gentoo.... James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
