This is what it contains: ======================== 2015-08-11-nepomuk-removal Title Nepomuk removal Author Johannes Huber <j...@gentoo.org> Posted 2015-08-11 Revision 1 With KDE SC 4.13.0 release the default semantic desktop search engine switched from Nepomuk to Baloo.[1] This change was honoured in Gentoo by changing the semantic-desktop use flag to cover the new engine and moving the old to nepomuk use flag. The underlaying storage backend for Nepomuk aka Virtuoso DB has a lot of unsolved upstream issues[2], therefore we will remove it. This means packages with build options on the old stack will drop them. Other packages which hard requiring it will be removed. If you are still using Nepomuk you can switch to Baloo by globally enable semantic-desktop and disabling nepomuk use flag in /etc/portage/make.conf or using one of the kde desktop profiles.

So far. :-) I think that migration of data will fail, address book searches won't work, etc. I haven't looked into it at any depth TBH, but enabled USE="nepomuk semantic-desktop" as it was back then for this reason. -- Regards, Mick
