I don't pretend to be an expert on how KDE works, which is why I ask: |
8 |
why couldn't you add the scattered directories to KDEDIRS? The |
9 |
documentation I have read suggests that KDE will search all |
10 |
directories in KDEDIRS for the files it needs. Am I missing something? |
11 |
|
12 |
I assume that there is some sort of conflict such that it wouldn't |
13 |
work for KDE to have all versions in its path. Is it possible to tell |
14 |
an application which KDEDIRS to use (again assuming that KDEDIRS would |
15 |
have to be different for different versions of KDE), without patching |
16 |
the application or KDE? Could a script be written that would define |
17 |
KDEDIRS for an application call? Is there a way to automatically |
18 |
detect whether an application uses one version of KDE or another? |
19 |
Could some function be easily added to all KDE-related ebuilds, to |
20 |
create a wrapper script for the applications? |
