That's why kde should install in its own directory... It's too big, just like |

X11R6... |

I wasn't talking about just KDE, but if we put KDE in I can't see why we |
23 |
couldn't put all alpha-releases. And others might break things. So can |
24 |
KDE3 if it installs over other files (like pilot-link installing over |
25 |
glibc and stuff). |
26 |
|
27 |
And what I'm talking about here is not that the actual code is beta |
28 |
(since very much of what is in portage now is "beta"). I'm talking about |
29 |
beta-releases (which are only meant for developers of KDE/GNOME/foo, |
30 |
depending on what kind of packages it is). |

Yes probably, and that is what frightens me. |

Problems that come out of your ebuilds, yes, but really, if the tarballs |
67 |
used had been tested before being made available in Portage the job of |
68 |
finding errors in the ebuilds would be less. |
