Something like kde-base/kde-meta ~x86 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list The unfortunate thing about that it it doesn't appear to accept the 'meta-package' to cover everything and I'm still trying to work out all the packages that need to be added.

Ugh... # grep --no-filename deprange /usr/portage/kde-base/*-meta/*-meta-3.4.0.ebuild | sort | uniq | wc -l 281 281 (probably a few less when duplicates are removed) packages to add the ~x86 keyword for...yuck. Somebody tell me there is an easier way...that doesn't involve setting ~x86 in make.conf?? I guess your alternative is to unmerge kde-meta, and emerge the kde-mega packages instead. From my system: # grep kde /etc/portage/package.keywords kde-base/arts ~x86 kde-base/kde ~x86 kde-base/kdeaddons ~x86 kde-base/kdeadmin ~x86 kde-base/kdeartwork ~x86 kde-base/kdebase ~x86 kde-base/kdebase-pam ~x86 kde-base/kdeedu ~x86 kde-base/kdegames ~x86 kde-base/kdegraphics ~x86 kde-base/kdelibs ~x86 kde-base/kdemultimedia ~x86 kde-base/kdenetwork ~x86 kde-base/kdepim ~x86 kde-base/kdetoys ~x86 kde-base/kdeutils ~x86 -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] How to update after emerging KDE-3.4.0 using ~x86
I recently emerged KDE-3.4.0 using the command ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge kde-meta and so far so good, a few little errors such as juk crashing from time to time and k3b not working, but nothing I can't live through at the moment. The issue I now have is how can I apply any necessary updates to the other packages on the system and not have KDE-3.4.0 cause issues? At the moment if I do an emerge -uDpv world I can see it wanting to downgrade a huge amount of packages whihc I obviously do not want to do. I'm thinking that there must be some way of setting up /usr/portage/package.unmask or similar to tell it that KDE-3.4.0 components and their depends should not be looked at when doing any upgrade but despite reading up on Portage and emerge I cannot work out a way to do this. Can someone please give me some words of advice on how I might do this. Thanks Jamie -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
