10 You are doing something wrong, as that exact same config works here. Do you
11 have the kde-testing overlay installed? Did you emerge @kde-4.2 or emerge
12 @kde? The latter will give you you the latest unstable snapshots which may or
13 may not work. Use these links, etc:
14
15 alan@nazgul ~ $ ls -al /etc/portage/package.keywords/kde*
16 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 85 Feb 11 17:15 /etc/portage/package.keywords/kde-4.2 -
17 > /var/portage/local/layman/kde-
18 testing/Documentation/package.keywords/kde-4.2.keywords
19 alan@nazgul ~ $ ls -al /etc/portage/package.unmask/kde*
20 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 76 Feb 26 09:46 /etc/portage/package.unmask/kde-4.2 ->
21 /var/portage/local/layman/kde-testing/Documentation/package.unmask/kde-4.2.0
22
23 Then copy the set file from $PORTDIR/local/layman/kde-testing/sets/kde-4.2 to
24 /etc/portage/sets, then run
25
26 emerge -av @kde-4.2
27
28 If you don't have the overlay installed, I can send you then files as
29 attachments if you want.
