I have already copied the kde packages to their new locations, but kept the copies in the old olocations also. The system is therefore in a limbo. Emerging all of kde isn't a problem, but since I changed several ebuilds to depend on the new locations, emerging them would remerge kde. Worse, after remerging kde, /var/db/pkg would have e.g. both kde-apps/foo and kde-base/foo registered. Then, when my script was run on such a database, there would be problems and I'd have to make special provisions in the script. The point is that we need either to complete the move quickly - even if it means not using jobs, or not iplementing jobs fully - or to backtrack and return kde to its original state until we can get the job system operational. -- Dan Armak Gentoo Linux Developer, Desktop Team Matan, Israel
