I'm wondering if something is set differently here. After running |
| 27 |
eix-sync, there were updates from the layman part. I got lines like this: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
>>> Fetching (15 of 16) kde-base/konq-plugins-3.5.10 from kde-sunset |
| 30 |
>>> Fetching (16 of 16) kde-base/kdeaddons-meta-3.5.10 from kde-sunset |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
But also some like this: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
>>> Fetching (3 of 16) media-libs/libsdl-1.2.13-r1 |
| 35 |
>>> Fetching (5 of 16) sci-calculators/kconvert-1.1-r1 |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
I haven't changed any configs for layman except to add that one line to |
| 38 |
make.conf that tells it where where the source is. This is odd. |

I thought they changed all that? I have /usr/kde/3.5 but nothing for |
| 59 |
KDE 4. Equery shows this: |

I used to have the kdeprefix flag set but they masked it. |
| 91 |
|
| 92 |
I do have both KDE 3.5 and KDE 4 installed. It's just that some things |
| 93 |
don't work in KDE 4 yet. I like it but I still use KDE 3.5 for the most |
| 94 |
part. We been discussing this on the KDE list. |
| 95 |
|
| 96 |
I'm just not a real big fan of this layman thing, yet anyway. It may |
| 97 |
grow on me. Who knows. |
