[gentoo-desktop] has the sun set ?

[Philip Webb]

[ forwarded to Gentoo-Desktop, the list given for Kde-Sunset ]

Using Kde-Sunset, I have  3  useful apps available in forms
which aren't provided by KDE 4 (Kworldclock Ksokoban Kmahjongg).

Yesterday, while doing my weekly system update, I encountered a msg :

  !!! The following installed packages are masked:
  - media-libs/lcms-1.19-r1::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
  /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
  # Matthias Maier <tamiko@g.o> (27 May 2015)
  # on behalf of Andreas K. Huettel <dilfridge@g.o>
  # media-libs/lcms:0 has serious security issues and is unmaintained,
  # see bug 526642. Please uninstall it and/or upgrade to media-libs/lcms:2

I looked at the bug, which explains the reason for dropping Lcms:0 .

Unfortunately, Kde-Sunset appears to require Lcms:0 for Libmng:0 ,
which is required by Qt-Meta:3 & which aren't included in Kde-Sunset itself.
For now, I can simply ignore the warning, but it looks
as if it wb no longer possible to install Kde-Sunset on a new machine.

I realise Gentoo itself doesn't provide support for Kde-Sunset,
but does anyone know of a way round this obstacle or have other advice ?
