-Suppose KDE 4.0 comes out and you want to unmerge the split ebuilds for KDE |
| 60 |
-3.4. Because they belong to different slots, emerge won't do this for you, so |
| 61 |
-another way is needed. |
| 62 |
-</p> |
| 63 |
- |
| 64 |
-<p> |
| 65 |
-A proper solution to this problem requires modifications to portage. One such |
| 66 |
-solution is described in |
| 67 |
-<uri link="http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/glep/glep-0021.html">GLEP 21</uri>. |
| 68 |
-Until that is implemented, however, we must resort to scripts like the one |
| 69 |
-given below. |
| 70 |
-</p> |
| 71 |
- |
| 72 |
-<p> |
| 73 |
-Fortunately, all KDE ebuilds belong to the kde-base directory (and all ebuilds |
| 74 |
-in the kde-base category come from kde.org). So the following code works: |
| 75 |
-</p> |
| 76 |
- |
| 77 |
-<pre caption="Removing KDE 3.4 from the system"> |
| 78 |
-# <i>for x in `ls /usr/portage/kde-base`; do</i> |
| 79 |
-> <i>if [ "$x" != "CVS" ]; then</i> |
| 80 |
-> <i>echo -n "=kde-base/$x-3.4* "</i> |
| 81 |
-> <i>fi</i> |
| 82 |
-> <i>done |xargs emerge -Cp</i> |
| 83 |
-</pre> |
| 84 |
- |
| 85 |
-<p> |
| 86 |
-The above looks a bit hackish, but ultimately it's not a hack because all |
| 87 |
-we really need is a list of ebuilds from kde-base. That's a very simple task |
| 88 |
-and so there will always be easy ways to accomplish it. |

| 96 |
|
| 97 |
<p> |
| 98 |
The objective here is to list all split kde ebuilds derived from, say, the |
| 99 |
kdebase monolithic ebuild. Once again, the proper implementation (such as <uri |
| 100 |
-link="http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/glep/glep-0021.html">GLEP 21</uri>) |
| 101 |
-would make this trivial. Today, however, you must become involved in the |
| 102 |
-KDE eclasses' implementation details to some degree. So, if you use any of |
| 103 |
-these approaches in a script that's not for private use, tell us about it. |

+<p> |
| 455 |
+KDE gives you the power to mount devices such as CDROMs or USB sticks through a |
| 456 |
+single click in a graphical interface. To accomplish this goal you need to |
| 457 |
+have KDE compiled with <c>hal</c> in your USE variable and to have |
| 458 |
+<c>dbus</c>, <c>hal</c> and <c>pmount</c> installed on your system. You should |
| 459 |
+also add <c>dbus</c> and <c>hal</c> to the default runlevel and add yourself to |
| 460 |
+the <c>plugdev</c> group. |
| 461 |
+</p> |
| 462 |
+ |
| 463 |
+<pre caption="Setup device mounting"> |

| 471 |

| 472 |
+You can also have your devices automatically mounted without interaction, you |
| 473 |
+just need to install <c>ivman</c> and add it to the default runlevel. |

+<title>Managing KDE Installations</title> |
| 486 |
+<section> |
| 487 |
+<title>Multiple Installations</title> |
| 488 |
+<body> |
| 489 |
+ |
| 490 |
+<p> |
| 491 |
+One peculiarity of the way KDE is managed in Gentoo is that when a new series |
| 492 |
+of KDE appears (such as the 3.5.x series, which supersedes the 3.4.x series) |
| 493 |
+it will be installed alongside the old one and will not overwrite it. So if |
| 494 |
+for instance you had KDE 3.4 already installed and you emerge KDE 3.5, |
| 495 |
+you will have two versions, one installed in <path>/usr/kde/3.4/</path> and |
| 496 |
+the other in <path>/usr/kde/3.5/</path>. |
| 497 |
+</p> |
| 498 |
|
| 499 |
+<p> |
| 500 |
+It should be noted that your settings for different KDE installations will be |
| 501 |
+kept separate in the home directory. KDE 3.4 reads its settings from the |
| 502 |
+directory <path>/home/<user>/.kde3.4</path>, and the first time you run |
| 503 |
+KDE 3.5 a directory named <path>/home/<user>/.kde3.5</path> will be |
| 504 |
+created by migrating the settings in the 3.4 directory and will be then used to |
| 505 |
+store preferences and data. |
| 506 |
+</p> |
| 507 |
+ |
| 508 |
+<p> |
| 509 |
+Another important remark to keep in mind when upgrading your KDE installation |
| 510 |
+is that you could have problems with the external KDE applications you have |
| 511 |
+installed (such as <c>koffice</c>, <c>amarok</c> or <c>k3b</c>) until you |
| 512 |
+recompile them against the new KDE version. So as soon as you start using the |
| 513 |
+new KDE you should reemerge them to make them link against the new libraries. |

+<title>Unmerging Old Versions</title> |
| 520 |
+<body> |
| 521 |
+ |
| 522 |
+<p> |
| 523 |
+Having multiple versions of KDE installed poses the problem of how to remove |
| 524 |
+the old ones when we decide that they are not needed anymore. Unfortunately |
| 525 |
+portage does not support unmerging a package with all its dependencies with a |
| 526 |
+single command, so if for instance you run <c>emerge --unmerge kde</c> you will |
| 527 |
+not remove the actual kde packages. |
| 528 |
+</p> |
| 529 |
+ |
| 530 |
+<p> |
| 531 |
+To remove a KDE installation (e.g. KDE 3.4), the single packages have to be |
| 532 |
+removed. |
| 533 |
+</p> |
| 534 |
+ |
| 535 |
+<pre caption="Removing KDE 3.4 packages"> |
| 536 |
+# <i>emerge --unmerge =arts-3.4* =kdelibs-3.4* =kdebase-3.4* ...</i> |
| 537 |
+</pre> |
| 538 |
+ |
| 539 |
+<p> |
| 540 |
+Obviously this is very frustrating if you have many KDE packages installed. |
| 541 |
+However this operation can be automated in many ways. The following one is |
| 542 |
+an example. |
| 543 |
+</p> |
| 544 |
+ |
| 545 |
+<p> |
| 546 |
+First we list all the packages that we want to remove. |
| 547 |
+</p> |
| 548 |
+ |
| 549 |
+<pre caption="Listing packages to remove"> |
| 550 |
+<comment>(List all the installed KDE packages)</comment> |
| 551 |
+# <i>equery list kde-base/</i> |
| 552 |
+<comment>(List all the installed KDE packages and select the ones from KDE 3.4)</comment> |
| 553 |
+# <i>equery list kde-base/ | grep 3.4</i> |
| 554 |
+</pre> |
| 555 |
+ |
| 556 |
+<p> |
| 557 |
+At this point you should double-check that the list corresponds to the packages |
| 558 |
+that should be removed from the system. If you think it is ok, you can go on |
| 559 |
+and pass the list to the <c>emerge --unmerge</c> command. |
| 560 |
+</p> |
| 561 |
+ |
| 562 |
+<pre caption="Removing selected packages"> |
| 563 |
+# <i>equery list kde-base/ | grep 3.4 | xargs emerge --unmerge --pretend</i> |
| 564 |
+</pre> |
| 565 |
+ |
| 566 |
+<p> |
| 567 |
+Check again the output and reissue the command without <c>--pretend</c> to |
| 568 |
+start the unmerging process. |
| 569 |
+</p> |
| 570 |
+ |
| 571 |
+<p> |
| 572 |
+After the job has completed, the directory <path>/usr/kde/3.4/</path> should |
| 573 |
+contain only a few files (mainly configuration files, portage has a policy to |
| 574 |
+never touch configurations). If you desire, you can safely wipe out |
| 575 |
+<path>/usr/kde/3.4/</path> with its content to remove what remains of KDE 3.4. |
