Re: [gentoo-user] unmasking qt5 and plasma 5
There is definitely a ton to unmask, and if you want kde4 alongside there are some USE flags to mess around with. I don't really remember which anymore, but portage should give some hints. I don't use SDDM, it looked nice, but I like LightDM too much I am not planning to use kde4, so I think that wont bother me. I have heard that SDDM is recommended for Plasma 5, however I am using slim right now and it is more that enough for me!

Re: [gentoo-user] unmasking qt5 and plasma 5
I couldn't stop myself anymore! Right now I am trying to get Plasma 5 on my machine. This is not easy though. I just hope I wont break anything critical! I am trying to install SDDM for the fisrt step.

SDDM is merely upstreams replacement for KDM, as I understand it. There also may be security vulnerabilities in SDDM, I know several versions have been masked because of that. Good to know. Thanks I will keep my slim, and see if slim is able to do job.

Hi. I was wondering that is it predictable that when qt5 and plasma 5 will be unmasked? thanks.
