1 Recently finished getting CJK support for KDE done, via a howto in the
2 wiki. One of the requirements was to compile qt with the "immqt-bc"
3 useflag enabled. I discovered that I have two versions of qt
4 installed, one in slot 3 and one in slot 4, all well and good.
5 Version 3.3.6 of qt uses the immqt useflag, while version 4.1.2
6 doesn't. When I called emerge --newuse world to get things up to
7 scratch with my new use flags, qt wasn't there; I had to explicitly
8 run emerge ~qt-3.3.6 to get it to recompile. Am I missing something?
9 I think I get why things get slotted, but it seems like emerge
10 --newuse ignored the lower slotted version.
11
12 I poked through emerge/ebuild/portage man pages, as well as the
13 developer handbook, couldn't find anything particularly enlightening.
