this is not the genkde overlay based on kdebuild system. this system
is still usable only
on paludis. i can say that in some way it's a little better than the
old eapi system but
still, the non ability for binpkg of paludis is bad when you have
issues mainstream,
and in a development svn you'll most likely to have them at least once
every two weeks.
so paludis forces you to manually resync for a previous version and
hope it works. sometimes
you might end up doing more than one resync per package, and for big
ones like amarok, k3b
kdepim is meaning a lot of headache. at lest with binpkgs you can
always revert back when
something is not working.
