Hello everyone, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I've finally committed this. If you don't want to get into details or are |
| 7 |
unsure what I'm talking about, just remember to restart kde after the next |
| 8 |
time you emerge a kde app. This will propagate the new settings into your |
| 9 |
environment. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
- --- Details: --- |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Briefly, 3rd party KDE apps (anything outside the kde-base category) now |
| 14 |
install into /usr. This change is trasparent and painless, except that you'll |
| 15 |
have to restart KDE to get the new environment settings that will allow kde |
| 16 |
apps installed in /usr to run. These settings are from the kde-base/kde-env |
| 17 |
package, which every kde app now depends on. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Apps installing into /usr also get a SLOT value of 0, instead of the old |
| 20 |
default of 3 (for kde3 apps). This means emerge clean won't remove the old |
| 21 |
versions installed in /usr/kde/3; you have to do it explicitly. Sorry about |
| 22 |
the inconvinience, but we believe it's better than the alternative. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Enjoy! |
| 25 |
|

BTW, KDE 3.0.3 and 3.1_beta1 will both be released sometime during the next |
| 27 |
week. kde-cvs users: I'm releasing a new tarball which has a lot of |
| 28 |
accumulated fixes, but which had to wait for this eclass update. |
