With respect to the wiki, you are free to discuss and make edits to it as it |
| 20 |
is a resource made by users for users. |

Talking of the official documentation, it seems parts of the split ebuilds |
| 36 |
howto are pretty outdated at the moment, in fact the part related to removing |
| 37 |
kde is better explained in the kde configuration howto, which should work as |
| 38 |
your script does. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Probably a nice plan would be to revise all the old information in the split |
| 41 |
ebuilds howto and possibly move something to the kde configuration howto |
| 42 |
(split ebuilds are not a novelty anymore), but I don't know if someone is |
| 43 |
available for the task... |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Thanks for your suggestions. |
