Some better news: Hallski, drobbins and me just had a short discussion on this in #gentoo and agreed that we should support this. This will probably be changed considerably, but here's the orig. suggestion: 2 vars to set in e.g. make.conf for kde2, kde3 respectively. Every kde apps installs into the location set by its var (via eclasses). Change the vars and you get a new location. We'll have to come up with a scheme to add all the right locations to PATH, LDPATH and it likely won't be fully automated - you'll want to decide on the order of your paths yourself anyway, unless you have only 1 or 2 locations. Again, this will change, but thei mportant news is that some support will be there :-) It'll may well take a week or so though, so don't hold your breath. -- Dan Armak Gentoo Linux Developer, Desktop Team Matan, Israel
