OK,
This is an interesting approach.
So if I use a very restricted subset of kde-4.2 and call it @james-kde-4.2
and filter on that, it should work.
Thanks for the suggestion. I get the feeling we're all hacking our own
install semantics here for kde-4.2. With dozens of workstations to eventually
support, I'm looking for something (error free) in my systematic approach.
"Winging it" a little bit different each time brings about risk and
inhibits my conservative nature, when doing admin work. It just seems like
every thing I read, there are different wrinkles to the various approaches.
So we now have evdev (xorg.conf going on a diet),
kde-4.x gymnastics
and no installation media for '09.
Very smart folks have recommended using different media
to install (most of which have worked for me) and
things like the kernel/distro function for drivers keeps changing.
Ya just gotta love Gentoo. Just when I was ready to completely
script up my job, I have to relearn how to install and
maintain systems all over again. It's going to be real interesting
to see how the official gentoo docs end up.
"So. We have lots of work to do on the handbooks just for the autobuilds.
Should we have a new directory layout as well?"
I'll keep all of this in mind.
thx,
James
