1 Hi,

3 I run cvs with no problems at all. If the ebuild is called beta? Users should
4 know that it can brake things. I would say go for it :)...

12 I could, and that'd be the most comfortable option (for me). But when I
13 originally discussed this with Hallski (in kde3-alpha1 days) he decided I
14 shouldn't do that. His reason was/is, that portage shouldn't become a testing
15 ground for beta packages on the scale of KDE when a good stable version of
16 the package already exists, not even masked. (Maybe he could explain more
17 fully/correctly).

19 I hope this explains the situation.
