Trying to get KDE-4.2 installed spits out a blocker: [blocks B ] <=kde-base/kdebase-startkde-3.5.10 ("<=kde-base/kdebase-startkde-3.5.10" is blocking kde-base/kdelibs-4.2.0) which for me means switching to *2* testing platforms (3.5.10 and 4.2) when I want to test only 1 (4.2). Now my question is: how safe is it to do a workaround, and create local version of kde-base/kdelibs-4.2.0-r1 ebuild (say, -r2) which removes the block and just stick with 3.5.9 on 3.5 side ? I really don't feel like unmasking 3.5.10 builds and building them too. another confusing thing is: !<=kde-base/kdebase-3.5.9-r4 !<=kde-base/kdebase-startkde-3.5.10 which I read as "you're fine using kde-3.5.9 as long as you don't use startkde". kind of weird. __ This communication is intended for the use of the recipient to whom it is addressed, and may contain confidential, personal, and or privileged information.
