Best regards, Andreas Title: KDE Workspaces 4.11 and KDE profile removal Author: Andreas Sturmlechner <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain Posted: 2017-01-08 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 1.0 Display-If-Installed: kde-plasma/kdebase-startkde Display-If-Installed: kde-plasma/kdm Display-If-Profile: default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde Display-If-Profile: default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde/systemd Display-If-Profile: default/linux/arm/13.0/desktop/kde Display-If-Profile: default/linux/arm/13.0/desktop/kde/systemd Display-If-Profile: default/linux/x86/13.0/desktop/kde Display-If-Profile: default/linux/x86/13.0/desktop/kde/systemd KDE Workspaces 4.11 has reached end of life in Portage. It was unsupported by upstream since 19th August 2015, meaning no security bugs have been fixed since then. It is therefore required for all users to upgrade to KDE Plasma 5. If you normally use KDM to launch a session, this is being removed as well. Upstream recommends x11-misc/sddm instead which is pulled in by plasma-meta by default. OpenRC users should edit /etc/conf.d/xdm and update DISPLAYMANAGER. Systemd users should run: systemctl reenable sddm.service Part of the cleanup will also be the KDE desktop subprofile, which is superseded by the Plasma desktop profile. A detailed upgrade guide is available[1] and recommended for its conflict removal advice. KDE Workspaces 4.11 packages will be moved to kde-sunset overlay.[2] [1] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/KDE/Plasma_5_upgrade [2] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Overlay:Kde-sunset
