After a few years of masking, we will finally remove support for USE=kdeprefix from all KDE ebuilds/eclasses on or about 2011-06-06, moving everyone to the recommended FHS layout. The attached news item meant to serve as an early warning to affected users.
I plan to commit this news item on 2011-05-22 to give about 2 weeks warning to users. Please comment and review. -- Jonathan Callen
Title: Removal of kdeprefix support Author: Jonathan Callen <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain Posted: 2011-05-22 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 1.0 Display-If-Installed: kde-base/kdelibs[kdeprefix] On 2011-06-06, kdeprefix support will be removed from all KDE ebuilds in portage. After this is done, only one version of KDE SC will be able to be installed at a time on a system. If you are currently using USE=kdeprefix to install multiple versions of KDE SC simultaneously, you will need to migrate to a non-kdeprefix installation. To migrate, you will need to set USE=-kdeprefix (or remove the manual unmasking of that flag in /etc/portage/profile) and rebuild all of the installed packages in kde-base/. To reinstall these packages, you can run: emerge --oneshot $(qlist -IC kde-base/)
