Hello, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
since my last blog entry[1] about adding the package.mask entry for |
| 7 |
KDE-4.2.0 to the tree, the Gentoo KDE team has put KDE-4.2.0 to the tree |
| 8 |
- - pending some final fixes/updates. |
| 9 |
After months locked in the dungeons of kde-testing[2] and kde-crazy[3] |
| 10 |
overlays the Gentoo KDE team has emerged again to deliver 4.2.0 to |
| 11 |
Gentoo users, just before a reasonable number of the members head out to |
| 12 |
FOSDEM'09. This long awaited release[3] is heralded by the KDE team as |
| 13 |
the first general public KDE-4 release. |
| 14 |
Any user wanting to update to KDE-4.2 should first read the KDE4 |
| 15 |
Guide[4]. The Guide is still being updated, so if you find any hurdle, |
| 16 |
join #gentoo-kde on the freenode or oftc irc networks. All users using |
| 17 |
sets, should ensure they have the unversioned sets in |
| 18 |
/var/lib/portage/world_sets (@kdebase or @kde and not @kdebase-4.1 or |
| 19 |
@kde-4.2). All users using metas, should ensure they have the |
| 20 |
unversioned metas in /var/lib/portage/world (kdebase-meta and kde-meta |
| 21 |
and not kdebase-meta-4.1 or kde-meta:4.2). |
| 22 |
Before you sync the tree, try it out and get upset, the ebuilds are |
| 23 |
still masked until we finish uploading the ebuilds and fix manifests / |
| 24 |
add last minute patches. So please make sure the ebuilds are out of p. |
| 25 |
mask before you start complaining and please don't abuse the rsync |
| 26 |
mirrors. You can check online[5] or hang out in #gentoo-kde with other |
| 27 |
KDE users and the Gentoo KDE team and be warned the minute the ebuilds |
| 28 |
are removed from p. mask. |
| 29 |
For the Gentoo KDE team, welcome to the KDE-4.2.0 generation. |
