emerge -C kde-meta gnome emerge depclean -a Much easier than reinstalling, and the reason for depclean. > To me reinstallation sounded a lot easier. Reinstallation is never easier.

It's not about stable code, that is up to the upstream developers. arch vs. ~arch is about the stability of the ebuilds, and this is using stable in the same way that Debian do; not changing. An arch ebuild is stable because it has not changed in, usually, at least 30 days. A ~arch ebuild is for testing, it does not mean the program is unstable. -- Neil Bothwick First Law of Laboratory Work:
