Hi, |

I was tracking KDE-4.x for a while now while sticking to "stable" KDE-3.5, which in gentoo's case is 3.5.9. Trying to get KDE-4.2 installed spits out a blocker: |
4 |
|
5 |
[blocks B ] <=kde-base/kdebase-startkde-3.5.10 ("<=kde-base/kdebase-startkde-3.5.10" is blocking kde-base/kdelibs-4.2.0) |
6 |
|
7 |
which for me means switching to *2* testing platforms (3.5.10 and 4.2) when I want to test only 1 (4.2). |

Now my question is: how safe is it to do a workaround, and create local version of kde-base/kdelibs-4.2.0-r1 ebuild (say, -r2) which removes the block and just stick with 3.5.9 on 3.5 side ? I really don't feel like unmasking 3.5.10 builds and building them too. |

another confusing thing is: |
12 |
!<=kde-base/kdebase-3.5.9-r4 |
13 |
!<=kde-base/kdebase-startkde-3.5.10 |
14 |
which I read as "you're fine using kde-3.5.9 as long as you don't use startkde". kind of weird. |
