15 KDE 3.5 is already out of package.mask from looking at 5 days ago's emerge
16 --sync. Shouldn't need to. If it's keywords masked, you can always do like
17 so:
18
19 cd /usr/portage/kde-base ; for files in *; do echo "$(basename
20 $(pwd))/${files}" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords; done
21
22 and that will setup for kde 3.5 as ~arch.
