Also, very strange thing is that the dependency tree of KDE 3 is not updated:
If I have the latest openssl, which is 1.0.0j, KDE will slot-instal 0.0.8x.
Is there such an incompatibility?
You can use the newest OpenSSL. The only problem is that sftp:// URL
support in programs like Konqueror will no longer work, because
apparently the kioslaves don't know how to talk to the new SSH. I've
been able to live without that though by using FUSE mounts. There's no
reason to keep an old OpenSSL around, and in fact, it's insecure.
And third issue:
mDNSResponder ebuuild is not in the tree.
Was removed four months ago; this was the warning:
http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_f420c354ab23da51c943dff9cb4d9e76.xml
As the mail says, net-dns/avahi[mdnsresponder-compat] seems to cover
the same; perhaps you could use that?
Could someone please put it back?
Unless someone steps up to maintain it (and fix all the problems it
could have), it's not going to happen.
The solution I'm using here (since I really don't want or need either
one of them) is that I've setup only the KDE packages that require it to
build with the avahi USE flag, and nothing else anywhere. It is also
necessary to put in a mask against gentoo's main repository Avahi, and
unmask the latest version of kde-sunset's Avahi. The results of a grep
through my /etc/portage for 'avahi' shows what I mean:
/etc/portage/package.use:kde-base/kdelibs arts avahi
/etc/portage/package.keywords:net-dns/avahi::kde-sunset ~amd64
/etc/portage/package.mask:net-dns/avahi::gentoo
The one other bit of help I might offer with kde-sunset is that I've
found that if something doesn't build correctly, there is very often a
masked patched version in the overlay that fixes the problem that will
only become available if you keyword it. All sorts of things can be
fixed with an "~amd64" on the package that's having trouble.
