Sorry, my last response got butchered. Gmane get's rediculous somethings
borderline upsurd on it's request to make lines shorter and other response
formating issues.
I have gotten ride of all of the blocking, by unmerging everthing kde I could
find:
525 emerge --unmerge kde-base/kdegraphics
526 emerge --unmerge kde-base/kdemultimedia

another pair of 'revdep-rebuild' seemed to have worked?
However, the last time I did this I got a ton of blocking isses.
One more retry. I post again if this does not work.
One of the KDE devs should put out a tool or script to completely
nuke kde, then let folks run
emerge -uavDN kde-meta' and be done with it. Disk space is cheap
and I do not have time to 'hack' at kde across 7 workstations.
Re compiling everything from from scratch is no bid deal. Waisting
lots of timer, per machine to migrate from monolithic to meta
has wasted quite a lot of time, and I still have 6 more machines to go.
So on the next machine, here's my steps to completely nuke kde
install kde-meta:
First:
# emerge --unmerge kde-base/kdeartwork
# emerge --unmerge kde-base/kdegames
# emerge --unmerge kde-base/kdeaddons
# emerge --unmerge kde-base/kdewebdev
# emerge --unmerge kde-base/kdeadmin
# emerge --unmerge kde-base/kdegraphics
# emerge --unmerge kde-base/kdemultimedia
# emerge --unmerge kde-base/kdepim
# emerge --unmerge kde-base/kdeutils
# emerge --unmerge kde-base/kdeedu
# emerge --unmerge kde-base/kdebase
# emerge --unmerge kde-base/kdetoys
Second:
<Now remove all old kde 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 kruft>
# cd /var/db/pkg && emerge -Cva kde-base/*-3.{2,3,4}*
# env-update && source /etc/profile && etc-update && update-eix && eupdatedb
Third:
<clean up broken links>
# revdep-rebuild -p
# revdep-rebuild
# emerge --sync
# env-update && source /etc/profile && etc-update
Fourth:
<install kde-meta>
emerge -uavDNp kde-meta
<if blocking occurs, unmerge clocking packages and return to Second>
emerge -uavDN kde-meta
Did I miss anything? Did I get anything out of order?
Please edit to make this a mechanical process, or add in
options at the right place to go the selection of
individual kde packages after installing kdebase-meta?
PS I sure hope this helps other avoid this time-sync.
sincerely,
James
