The problem is simply older versions of kde-3 ebuilds. Newer versions |
15 |
have the plumbing necessary to keep v3 and v4 separate, but older |
16 |
versions didn't. So those blocks are on the older versions that didn't. |
17 |
By the time kde4 stabilizes (quite some time as a qualified upstream |
18 |
version isn't released yet, current kde4 will never stabilize), the newer |
19 |
kde3 ebuilds should have been stable for some time, so the blocks are |
20 |
there just in case someone has a real outdated kde3 system and tries to |
21 |
install kde4 as well. If they are going to keep their kde3, they'll need |
22 |
to update it first, to the ebuilds that handle things correctly. |
