[gentoo-dev] Multi-kdelibs/eclasses v4 released

[gentoo-dev] Multi-kdelibs/eclasses v4 released

[Dan Armak]

Hi everyone,

I have just committed the multi-kdelibs/multi-qt/eclasses version 4 package. 
This allows you to have multiple versions of kdelibs installed and so, for 
example, use KDE3 (once it's released) together with KDE2 applications.

Everyone should upgrade at some point to >=x11-lib/qt-x11-2.3.1-r2 and 
>=kde-base/kdelibs-2.2.1-r2. Or, you might emerge (or remerge) kde-base/kde 
to automatically get the latest revisions of kde-base/* (this doesn't include 
qt, you still have to upgrade it explicitly). There's no hurry though; you 
can wait until you can dedicate a night or so to compiling.

Upgraders:
1. Turn off KDE when emerging :-).
2a. If upgrading from kde-2.1.x or earlier, or from qt-2.2.x or earlier, you 
must remerge all kde apps (not just kde-base/*) and unmerge their previous 
versions.
2b. Otherwise, you only need to remerge x11-libs/qt-x11, kde-base/kdelibs and 
kde-base/kdebase.
3. Unmerge all previous revisions/versions that aren't multi-qt/multi-kde 
compatible. Compatible versions are:
x11-libs/qt-x11: 2.3.1-r2, 2.3.2
kde-base/kdelibs: 2.2.1-r2

Known issue: kdm doesn't display icons (the ones with the users' heads, black 
on white). It may be fixable but I doubt it. It isn't important enough IMO 
anyway.

---

Developers and ebuild writers: if you want to write inheriting ebuilds for 
kde/qt apps, read /usr/portage/eclass/doc/* very carefully and take a good 
long look at existing ebuilds and eclasses. Make sure you understand the 
changes in v4, see news.txt.

Nice Dan, 3.0alpha is out I think. Must read your previous posts to say
more :)

3.0alpha was released weeks ago :-). It was decided that no pre-final 
versions of kde3 are to be included in cvs. qt is now at 3.0.1.

What keeps me from adding a qt-3.0.1 ebuild, and will keep me from adding a 
kde-3.0 ebuild when kde3-final comes out, is the portage dep functionality 
that must first be added. Without this new functionality, a dependency on 
e.g. qt-2.3 will be ersolved by qt-3.0, which is bad. Everything's being 
delayed thuogh, I don't know when or by whom this will be added. (I don't 
mean to hurry people).

<x11-libx/qt-3.0 does not work ?

Currently <qt-3.0 works. Right now we don't have any >=qt-3.0, if I add any, 
then thing will stop working.

Hmm yeah, thats why

~media-libs/freetype-1.3 

does not work if 2.0.5 is already installed.
