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
