Subject: Removal of kdeprefix news item
Date: Wed, 18 May 2011 17:08:05 -0400
After a few years of masking, we will finally remove support for USE=kdeprefix 
from all KDE ebuilds/eclasses on or about 2011-06-06, moving everyone to the 
recommended FHS layout.  The attached news item meant to serve as an early 
warning to affected users.

I plan to commit this news item on 2011-05-22 to give about 2 weeks warning to 
users.

Please comment and review.

Title: Removal of kdeprefix support
Author: Jonathan Callen <abcd@g.o>
Content-Type: text/plain
Posted: 2011-05-22
Revision: 1
News-Item-Format: 1.0
Display-If-Installed: kde-base/kdelibs[kdeprefix]

On 2011-06-06, kdeprefix support will be removed from all KDE ebuilds in
portage.  After this is done, only one version of KDE SC will be able to
be installed at a time on a system.  If you are currently using
USE=kdeprefix to install multiple versions of KDE SC simultaneously, you
will need to migrate to a non-kdeprefix installation.

To migrate, you will need to set USE=-kdeprefix (or remove the manual
unmasking of that flag in /etc/portage/profile) and rebuild all of the
installed packages in kde-base/.  To reinstall these packages, you can
run: emerge --oneshot $(qlist -IC kde-base/)
