For something as unstable as KDE4 is likely to be, I would probably |
| 6 |
just checkout the sources and build it outside of portage. As long as |
| 7 |
you set the prefix to something reasonable (/usr/local/kde4,fex), you |
| 8 |
should not end up with a lot of extra cruft installed, or impacting |
| 9 |
your existing KDE installation. |

??? No such version exists in portage. |

KDE just released the first developer snapshot of KDE4 and the |
| 19 |
announcement [1] makes it clear that there isn't much for end-users to |
| 20 |
see or test yet. Generally the ebuilds for new KDE versions show up |
| 21 |
shortly after the first alpha release, and the KDE devs haven't given |
| 22 |
any dates for the first alpha, first beta, or final releases [2]. So |
| 23 |
I would keep an eye on [2] to see when there might be something useful |
| 24 |
to test. |
