The Qt split ebuilds are hardmasked not because of KDE4, but because of the release candidate status. I thought that Qt 4.4 was source compatible with Qt 4.3 so that a program written for Qt 4.3 would be buildable with Qt 4.4.

[gentoo-user] Question re: upgrade to goffice
Hi all, I did an emerge --sync and got told that a few things needed upgrading, one of them being goffice. I have gnumeric installed on my system, but my USE flags include '-gnome'. I don't want gnome (i.e. the desktop) on my system!! gnumeric, gimp and abiword (and yes, I have openoffice.org, but find gnumeric and abiword more functional for some things) have always compiled okay with the -gnome USE flag. However, goffice is needed by gnumeric and probably the others, but now it doesn't seem to want to compile and I've removed the 0.2.1 version 'cause it wanted to put the 0.6.1 version into a new slot and I didn't want both versions on my system and of course, now I've broken gnumeric and as I said, goffice doesn't seem to want to compile without gnome (at least that is what I'm interpreting the error message to mean. Why all of a sudden can't I compile goffice without gnome? Any feedback would be appreciated.
