Howdy,
kde-4.3 is now unmasked for ~x86. Whooooop!
But it is looking like a non-trivial upgrade. :(
When I installed kde-4.2, I followed the advice of unmasking portage
and using sets. Also followed the recommendation to use -kdeprefix.
Further I removed kde-3.5 and added a mask on kdelibs-3.5 to help keep
3.5 off of the system.
So for the kde-4.3 upgrade, it looks like this is what will be
necessary:
1) grab the sets again from the kde-testing overlay and put them in /
etc/portage/sets (assumption is to do a replace).
2) unmerge kde-4.2 using: emerge --unmerge @kde-4.2
3) merge kde-4.3 using: emerge -av @kde-4.3
4) recustomize kde as the ~/.kde will not be migrated
Am I on the right track?
TIA,
Roy
