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
