10 All the above answers were enough for your other complaints, so let me
11 answer about the KDE issue. I'm a KDE HT and one of the maintainers of KDE
12 overlay. I use KDE snapshots (currently KDE RC1) in my laptop and KDE live
13 ebuilds on desktop, so I use the overlays' ebuilds for everyday use for a
14 long time now. KDE itself had many issues, a significant amount of which
15 have been resolved. No crashes, many missing features are imported and many
16 many impressing innovations being introduced in every full recompile.
17 Although there are still some missing KDE4 or QT4 applications like k3b, and
18 some others have some features missing, depending on what a user needs. But
19 the upstream KDE developers are doing a great job, they import features and
20 solve bugs very quickly and i can recommend the overlays for everyday use.
21 Concerning the Gentoo KDE Team, we are fully prepared for the upcoming KDE
22 4.2 release, we have made major changes to kde4 eclasses, supporting many
23 features that were announced by scarabeus, and we still solve bugs for 3.5
24 and 4.1 releases. *The latest 4.1.4 release hit the tree the same day it was
25 released by upstream *and it was available in kde-testing overlay a week ago
26 hardmasked! KDE itself is a popular area amongst Gentoo projects and this
27 can be easily seen in our IRC channel and our bugzilla list. So, please stop
28 complaining for non-existent problems and go help the community :)
