Today's sync includes PyQt4-4.5 which is blocked by pykde4-4.2.4 (incompatible and build issues). Apparently pykde4-4.3 will fix this, but meanwhile I need to get emerge world to run and complete.
To decide what to mask and what to leave, I need to discover what these packages actually do and what the effect will be if I unmask stuff. I *could* experiment, but will probably overlook many important things. As an assist to figuring this out and deciding, can someone tell me what pykde4 and PyQt4 actually do and how these packages use them: a...@nazgul ~/downloads/kernel $ equery depends pykde4 * Searching for pykde4 ... kde-base/marble-4.2.4 (python ? >=kde-base/pykde4-4.2.4:4.2[kdeprefix=]) kde-base/plasma-workspace-4.2.4 (python ? >=kde- base/pykde4-4.2.4:4.2[kdeprefix=]) a...@nazgul ~/downloads/kernel $ equery depends PyQt4 * Searching for PyQt4 ... dev-python/qscintilla-python-2.3.2-r1 (qt4 ? >=dev-python/PyQt4-4.4) kde-base/marble-4.2.4 (python ? >=dev-python/PyQt4-4.4.4-r1[X,svg]) kde-base/plasma-workspace-4.2.4 (python ? >=dev-python/PyQt4-4.4.0[X]) kde-base/pykde4-4.2.4 (>=dev-python/PyQt4-4.4.4- r1[dbus,qt3support,svg,webkit,X]) media-sound/picard-0.11 (dev-python/PyQt4[X]) net-print/hplip-3.9.4b (!minimal & qt4 & !qt3 ? dev-python/PyQt4[X]) -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
