Recently I cleaned up and unified them, and added object prelinking support (via objprelink USE flag). AFAIK kde2.2 is now stable and gentoo-ready; now we need both developers and users to test it, to uncover any bugs/typos/whatever and be able to unmask it with a clear conscience. Please reply, not only with bugs, but with success stories as well. (BTW I now use it myself with no trouble.) Upgrade note: the gentoo /opt/kde${PV} system has one flaw, namely that it doesn't take the user-specific settings dir ~/.kde into account, and all kdes installed get to access the same dir. Therefore people upgrading from kde 2.1.x or 2.0.x shuold make a backup of their ~/.lde, and restore it before using their old version of kde again. BTW, tell us if there's any need for full support for multiple kde versions, or is upgrade-only support (as now) enough. Final note: a known TODO is adding support for multiple KDEDIRS in the path for libs/bins. -- Dan Armak Gentoo Linux Developer, Desktop Team Matan, Israel
