I have both kde-3.5.10 and kde-4.1.2 and there are a couple of small
incompatibilities... and that's why they are still masked. If I recall
right... I had to upgrade to the latest ~x86 portage and then I had to iron
out kopete for both versions of kde... No show stoppers, but there are a few
issues you'll have to iron out.
Sorry, I made no notes... but in my MOST HUMBLE opinion... there's no reason
to not to try kde-4.1.2.

I must confess that I backed up my /etc just in case. ;-) Never hurts right? I used it to unmask KDE 4 when it first came out just to see what, if anything, was different. Since I am still on dial-up and KDE 4 was updating a pretty good bit, I went back to KDE 3.5. I also like the way it separated what it added to the package.* files from what I already had there. In Kwrite for example, you can just highlight from where it started to the end, hit delete and it is like it never happened. May be worth a try, just back up /etc first.

Re: [gentoo-user] KDE 4.1.2... a winner!
It turns out that /etc/portage/package.keywords and /etc/portage/package.unmask can be directories, which is convenient for organizational purposes. If this is the case, autounmask does the smart thing and creates the file autounmask-pkgname (in this case, autounmask-kde-meta) in those folders. I find this a much easier way to try it out, and maintain its additions.

It's a quick and easy way of emerging something with a lot of masked dependencies, like kde-meta:4. I used it the last time I tried KDE4 and it did just as was expected, except is added =cat/pkg-vers, which I changed to ~cat/pkg/vers so I could pick up and fixes. You can tell it not to put versions tho.

I may want 4.1.2 but not 4.2.0_beta. -- Neil Bothwick Member, National Association For Tagline Assimilators (NAFTA) signature.asc Description: PGP signature
