On RedHat distribution you got this foolish system (of course binary packages). You don't know which application is in the normal kde distribution or just a plain application like whatever. If you see kde as one complete desktop enviroment, then you let kde as is (compiling all applications in one package the same time), there aren't a lot of patches for kde in the last few months, so we can live with it as is. regards, \sh -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+Nf+7V8AnusWiV6wRAr3RAKDOscWdRsT7AekHSNFpNqNseuUMUwCgxqNF RdUp+eaNzh+5z8uXWwrhoXs= =VFeK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
