Gentoo ebuilds
by Arne Babenhauserheide on Thursday 02/Aug/2007, @05:15

For all other Gentoo'ers out here, there are SVN ebuilds avaible with which you can get the most recent version, and if you pull them now, you'll get the beta (Please bear with the overhear. If there's at least one visitor who didn't know, the last sub-sentence was useful :) )

http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/kde/wiki

Best wishes,
Arne, now waiting anxiously for the KDE4 beta to finish compiling.

One thing to bear in mind if you intend to keep using your KDE 3 install is to follow the advice here

http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/kde/wiki/CommonProblems

immediately AFTER building kdelibs. Otherwise, all your menus will go bye-bye when you install the rest of the ebuilds.

Just too bad it's so sadly configured that you need to mess around with multiple package.masks, now that it's on Beta1 (+Alpha3 apps, heh) maybe M~ or even ~arch (ok, maybe not) ebuilds would make it simpler for people to start breaking their systems... :-)

It's way too simple to just cp -a the system to other partition anyway. ;-)

I was updating my Gentoo KDE4 svn with this ebuild (last build, 1 mounth ago).
kdelibs compile fine, but kdebase complains that no libsolid.so.5 is installed.

In fact I noticied that kdelibs install "libsolid.so.4" !!! Where is the error?

Will this replace my current KDE or install it into a new slot?
