1. If I do set |
4 |
DEPEND=">=x11-libs/qt-x11-2.3.1-r1 <x11-libs/qt-x11-3.0.0_beta6" |
5 |
then, emerge will emerge both these packages, each for the other's |
6 |
dependency. It is not smart enouh to see that the deps can be satisfied with |
7 |
just one. This is a little off topic, just a note. |

2. If I do succeed in making such dependencies, should I (via eclasses) |
10 |
require all kde/qt apps to depend on >=qt-x11-2.3.1-r2, which is the current |
11 |
revision and is the one that introduces the new QTDIR coexistence scheme? |
12 |
Many people probably have qt 2.3.0 or 2.2.3 installed, which in fact fulfill |
13 |
the kde dependencies. And if they are forced to go from 2.2.x to 2.3.x |
14 |
they'll hvae to recompile all of their kde/qt apps, as the revisions are not |
15 |
binary compatible. Of course, with the new scheme, I can easily have 2.2 and |
16 |
2.3 revision coexist as well. Should I? That would mean manually emerging the |
17 |
new revision of the qt version you already have. |

3. The decision has been taken not to include pre-final kde (and qt) versions |
20 |
in portage, not even masked. However, many people are likely to be interested |
21 |
in the upcoming kde3 ebuilds (kde3-alpha1 was released recently; the ebuilds |
22 |
will be ready as soon as this qt thing is finished). On person has already |
23 |
asked me for copies of these ebuilds, others may as well. Suggestions for |
24 |
placing and distributing them? (Before you suggest it, I don't have a site). |
25 |

4. A question for the FHS experts: what is the right place to install |
27 |
secondary (or equal) copies of KDE? Only one copy can live in /usr, as the |
28 |
filenames don't change btween releases. /opt is as i understand for binary |
29 |
packages only. Where then? /usr/kde? /usr/local/something? /usr/lib/kde? |
30 |
~/kde? |
