Yes. |

FWIW, I run FEATURES=buildpkg so I always have binpkgs for what's |
| 13 |
installed, but otherwise I'd consider quickpkging the existing KDE before |
| 14 |
you upgrade, just in case something doesn't work on the upgrade. Then |
| 15 |
I'd unmerge the existing kde4, so it didn't screw anything up going to |
| 16 |
the new version. |

BTW, if you are still running kde3 as well, I strongly recommend |
| 19 |
USE=kdeprefix. Unfortunately there's a ways to go in getting the |
| 20 |
unprefixed kde4 to stay out of the way of kde3. People are having |
| 21 |
problems with kde3 apps because the config search path is the normal dirs |
| 22 |
(/usr/share/config and friends) before the prefix dirs |
| 23 |
(/usr/kde/3.5/share/config and friends), and if kde4 is installed without |
| 24 |
kdeprefix, it installs to the normal dirs, screwing up the config for |
| 25 |
kde3 packages. This system config problem is quite apart from the user |
| 26 |
config issues, which are more or less solved at this point, provided you |
| 27 |
follow instructions (or were using separate user accounts for kde3 and |
| 28 |
kde4, as recommended way earlier). |
