1 Hello,
2
3 I have looked at threads on this issue from 12jun06
4 and 2jun06
5 and http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kde-split-ebuilds.xml.
6 By the way, this doc is good for explaining the issues,
7 but does not explain a clear method to perform the migration
8 form mono to meta......

11 Is there an easy way to remove all of the kde packages before
12 migration to kde-meta?
13
14 I like having as many kde apps installed as possible. For me,
15 it makes it easier to find cool (kde) softaware. But if meta
16 is going away, like the monolithic kde packaging (eventually)
17 I'd rather go straight to the split kde package system.
18 Comments and Recommendations on kde-meta's future?

22 emerge -atv kde-meta
23 lists many packages and I'm too lazy to remove them all by
24 hand....

27 These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
28 Calculating dependencies... done!
29 .[blocks B ] =kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.5* (is blocking kde-base/kaboodle-3.5.2)
30 .[blocks B ] =kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.5* (is blocking
31 kde-base/kdemultimedia-kappfinder-data-3.5.2)

36 Is there an easier way to do a bulk upgrade from mono to meta ?
37
38 >From mono to split? Some gentoo/kde systems I manage will want
39 to go to the split system or a few kde-meta packages and the
40 rest of the kde(split) apps individually installed.
41
42 Any enlightenment is most welcome, as I get busy quite often and do
43 not necessarily keep up with the latest issed on gentoo....
