On that subject, I'd like to raise once more the issue of KDE placing. Now is the last time we can easily change it, before doing kde3 ebuilds. I still think there should be support for multiple KDEs, which would live in e.g. /usr/kde-$ver each. Juggling paths would be a lot easier. The way things work right now - one big kde in /usr - there are the following problems: - Many users are bound to put other KDEs in other lpaces, with or without ebuilds. It'd be better for us to do it for them. - Some apps don't like living separately from their kdelibs (noatun, kdm, mosfet's widgets...) - A KDE dev called us "redhattish" :-( I don't know how FHS-compatible that is (i.e. /usr/kde-$ver), beyond not putting kde in /opt. But I'd really like it to be that way - it would certainly make life easier. -- Dan Armak Gentoo Linux Developer, Desktop Team Matan, Israel
