My experience spread over 2 days was fairly straightforward. |
| 20 |
(1) Emerged Libpng 1.4.3 ; (2) 'revdep-rebuild' showed 42 rebuilds, |
| 21 |
some of which wouldn't compile ; (3) 'lafilefixer --justfixit' helped ; |
| 22 |
(4) 'r-r' showed a much shorter list ; (5) KDE (3 or 4) wouldn't start, |
| 23 |
so re-merge Qt3 Kdelibs3 & Ksokoban Kmahjongg3 Kworldclock ; |
| 24 |
(6) re-merged Qt4 (9 pkgs) Kdelibs4 Speedcrunch ; (7) along the way, |
| 25 |
a few other pkgs needed re-merging, eg Openmotif for Xpdf ; |
| 26 |
(8) Xulrunner & Openoffice were listed by 'r-r', but seem ok asis ; |
| 27 |
(9) I deleted the Libpng '12' lib, which is now obsolete. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
HTH anyone else updating: just allow a few hours for re-merging. |
