[gentoo-user] kde:3.5 how to phase out
Hi, I'd like to phase out KDE:3.5. One reason is, that I cannot install both, 3.5 and 4.2 without using 'prefix'. For doing so, I need to find out which (installed) packages use which parts of KDE:3.5. Is there something better than unmerge all of KDE:3.5 and let revdep-rebuild find out. Furthermore, how to unmerge all of KDE:3.5, e.g. emerge --unmerge kde-base/kde-meta:3.5 does not work. Many thanks for a hint, Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany

If so, unmerge the meta package then run emerge -p --depclean and make sure you are not loosing anything you want to keep, then run revdep-rebuild to make sure all is still sane. Also, you can remove anything kde 3.5 in your world file, then run depclean to remove it. Keep in mind that the world file supports version specific lines now. I'm sure some other guru will come along with other ideas but one of those should work. May not be perfect but is anything ever perfect? Dale :-) :-)

Some of your questions are answered here, right on the top (I hope I link to the up-to-date version and not the outdated one): http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/kde/kde4-guide.xml http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/kde/ I don't know if my advice beyond those links is of any use as I did it all the wrong way -- didn't unmerge previous kde, just unmasked the new kde versions, didn't use sets, still have USE=-kdeprefix etc. Still, sky didn't fall on me, at least not until I unmasked the then-unstable xorg 1.5 ... -- Arttu V.
