Hi folks,
The latest KDE 4.5.1 has hit the tree. It made it there a few days ago.
Yeppie!! It is masked but I wanted to try to install it again. The last
time was a mess to say it lightly. I use autounmask to unmask it. I use
this command:
autounmask kde-base/kde-meta-4.5.1
Easier way would be to install the KDE overlay and use the etc files
provided in the Documentation directory for unmasking and so on. If
you want to stick to KDE ebuilds from portage proper, you could copy
the etc files from the overlay and then remove it.
That may be a better idea. After adding a few more files to the unmask
file, it started complaining about packages that are not even in the
tree at all. I sort of find that to be weird tho. Anyway, I deleted
the unmask file and just left KDE at the stable version. I figure in a
few days it will be stable anyway.
May try the overlay again but that turned into a mess last time too. It
wasn't any fun at all. ;-) I also didn't know if maybe with the
latest portage if autounmask had a bug. Still don't quite get why it
didn't work this time.
Thanks.
