The KDE split ebuild howto was very recently updated by me within the last week; |
| 52 |
read it again. It properly covers 3.5. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
And gentoo-wiki is not to be relied upon -- it is not officially endorsed, |
| 55 |
supported, or at all maintained by Gentoo developers. It has nothing to do with |
| 56 |
Gentoo documentation. The wiki has lots of incorrect and/or misleading/outdated |
| 57 |
content, so I wouldn't trust it. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
But the split ebuilds guide and the KDE guide on gentoo.org were both recently |
| 60 |
updated, so they should have everything you need. Monolithic to modular |
| 61 |
migration is covered quite explicitly in the split ebuild howto. |
