53 Hi Robin,
54
55 This change is correct - we're in the process of cleaning up some old
56 ebuilds at the moment.
57
58 In this case kde-apps/kdebase-runtime-meta:5 doesn't imply anything
59 KF5-based - it has just been ported to use a newer eclass. It still just
60 pulls in the old KDE4-based kde-runtime packages.
61
62 Kind regards,
63
64 Michael
