Hi everyone, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I have just committed the multi-kdelibs/multi-qt/eclasses version 4 package. |
| 4 |
This allows you to have multiple versions of kdelibs installed and so, for |
| 5 |
example, use KDE3 (once it's released) together with KDE2 applications. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Everyone should upgrade at some point to >=x11-lib/qt-x11-2.3.1-r2 and |
| 8 |
>=kde-base/kdelibs-2.2.1-r2. Or, you might emerge (or remerge) kde-base/kde |
| 9 |
to automatically get the latest revisions of kde-base/* (this doesn't include |
| 10 |
qt, you still have to upgrade it explicitly). There's no hurry though; you |
| 11 |
can wait until you can dedicate a night or so to compiling. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Upgraders: |
| 14 |
1. Turn off KDE when emerging :-). |
| 15 |
2a. If upgrading from kde-2.1.x or earlier, or from qt-2.2.x or earlier, you |
| 16 |
must remerge all kde apps (not just kde-base/*) and unmerge their previous |
| 17 |
versions. |
| 18 |
2b. Otherwise, you only need to remerge x11-libs/qt-x11, kde-base/kdelibs and |
| 19 |
kde-base/kdebase. |
| 20 |
3. Unmerge all previous revisions/versions that aren't multi-qt/multi-kde |
| 21 |
compatible. Compatible versions are: |
| 22 |
x11-libs/qt-x11: 2.3.1-r2, 2.3.2 |
| 23 |
kde-base/kdelibs: 2.2.1-r2 |
| 24 |

Known issue: kdm doesn't display icons (the ones with the users' heads, black |
| 28 |
on white). It may be fixable but I doubt it. It isn't important enough IMO |
| 29 |
anyway. |

Developers and ebuild writers: if you want to write inheriting ebuilds for |
| 34 |
kde/qt apps, read /usr/portage/eclass/doc/* very carefully and take a good |
| 35 |
long look at existing ebuilds and eclasses. Make sure you understand the |
| 36 |
changes in v4, see news.txt. |
