Hello everyone, |
2 |
|
3 |
I am glad to announce the long-awaited KDE 3.0! KDE 3.0 ebuilds have now been |
4 |
committed and unmasked. All KDE3 apps have been unmasked as well. Enjoy! |
5 |
|
6 |
Credit and thanks go to all the kde3pre testers, without whom all the anxious |
7 |
users would have had to wait even longer for these ebuilds :-) |

|

Users of kde3pre ebuilds, see below. In fact you are all advised to read to |
10 |
the end. |

|
12 |
Details: |
13 |
|
14 |
1. KDE2 and KDE3 live side by side; select the one you want to log into from |
15 |
kdm. |
16 |
KDE2 apps work under KDE3, but not vice versa. |
17 |
To get antialiasing in KDE2 apps under KDE3, export QT_XFT=true into the KDE2 |
18 |
app's environment. Consider placing the export in your .bash_login or other |
19 |
profile. |
20 |
|
21 |
2. Besides the kde-base/ core packages and the kde-i18n packages, many apps |
22 |
have kde3 versions whilch have now been unmasked. Included are: |
23 |
kdevelop-2.1 |
24 |
k3b-0.6_pre2 |
25 |
kdbg-1.2.5 |
26 |
qtella-0.4.1 |
27 |
krfb-0.6 |
28 |
kio_fish-1.1 |
29 |
mosfet-liquid-widgets-0.9.2 |
30 |
kbiff-3.6 |
31 |
|
32 |
3. Coming soon: koffice-20020404 - a cvs snapshot. The credit on this is |
33 |
Verwilst's. It is far better than the old kde2-based koffice-1.1.1. |
34 |
Unfortunately koffice-2.1 will only be released around August. |
35 |
|
36 |
4. kde3pre users: As you know, the cvs kde3 ebuilds were given 3.0 versions. |
37 |
When you emerge rsync or cvs update, my final kde-3.0 ebuilds will overwrite |
38 |
the cvs ones. To get rid of all old versions, I strongly suggest you emerge |
39 |
rsync --clean. |
40 |
|
41 |
If you have a cvs version of qt (3.0.2.1 or 3.0.3.1) emerged, I suggest you |
42 |
unmerge it and merge the portage-standard qt-3.0.3 instead for a clean slate. |
43 |
|
44 |
After things settle down with 3.0, I'll go on maintaining a set of kde cvs |
45 |
ebuilds. No sooner than in a week or more though. |
