8 Is there any other reason than for testing that you want multiple
9 versions of KDE (I'm not talking about the libs here).
10
11 I see that you want to have multiple version of kde-libs installed since
12 not all apps will be ported (or that it takes some time for them to be).
13 But is there really a reason for having multiple KDE version installed.
14
15 If it's only so that people can test KDE3 and still have KDE2 installed
16 I think that you should drop this efforts and concentrate on something
17 important instead. It's easy enough to build KDE2 with --build-pkg and
18 then build KDE3 to test it, if you don't like it (which I can't see why
19 people would want KDE2 instead of KDE3 when final is out) just emerge
20 KDE2 --use-pkg to reinstall KDE2.
