[gentoo-dev] KDE 3.4 still ~x86

Hey All
 Im curious as to why KDE is still masked by ~x86 usually KDE moves into the 
stable tree realtively quickly. Have there been that many bugs and problems 
that it is slowing it down? I have been using it since it hit portage and 
have not had any problems. So i am just curious this is in no way a flame or 
put down just curiosity, thanks.

The explanation is quite long, just look at that bug's comments and you'll 
find why kde 3.4 can't go in any stable state soon.

The only issue I heard about was problems with gcc3.4's -fvisibility stuff.
You can confirm it on your own box by running KAsteroids and then pressing any 
key. It will cause a segmentation fault. I'm not sure what the status of 
fixing this issue is.

Hmm ... I'm still at gcc 3.3.5 but I'm running KDE 3.4 -- am I immune? I
don't use "kasteroids" so I wouldn't have run into the obvious issue.

With gcc 3.3 you should be safe (as long as -fvisibility=hidden patch wasn't 
ported to it).

Strange that a Gentoo bug (vanilla GCC 3.4 doesn't have visibility; Gentoo 
adds it via a broken patch) prevents KDE from being marked stable, seeing as 
it's not a bug in KDE...

Short version: It's the ebuild that's unstable, not KDE itself.

Wrong, it's a KDE bug.
To be exact is KDE bug #101542.

The problem is there also with vanilla gcc4 because of a flaw in design of 
visibility stuff in KDE.

there's a bug open somewhere for toolchain about gcc-3.4 and visibility 
issues ... we closed it as fixed when we updated the visibility patches, but 
someone re-opened it ...

does this mean we can close it again since the toolchain issue is resolved ?
