[gentoo-user] has the sun set ?

[Philip Webb]

Using Kde-Sunset, I have  3  useful apps available in forms
which aren't provided by KDE 4 (Kworldclock Ksokoban Kmahjongg).

Yesterday, while doing my weekly system update, I encountered a msg :

  !!! The following installed packages are masked:
  - media-libs/lcms-1.19-r1::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
  /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
  # Matthias Maier <tamiko@gentoo.org> (27 May 2015)
  # on behalf of Andreas K. Huettel <dilfridge@gentoo.org>
  # media-libs/lcms:0 has serious security issues and is unmaintained,
  # see bug 526642. Please uninstall it and/or upgrade to media-libs/lcms:2

I looked at the bug, which explains the reason for dropping Lcms:0 .

Unfortunately, Kde-Sunset appears to require Lcms:0 for Libmng:0 ,
which is required by Qt-Meta:3 & which aren't included in Kde-Sunset itself.
For now, I can simply ignore the warning, but it looks
as if it wb no longer possible to install Kde-Sunset on a new machine.

I realise Gentoo itself doesn't provide support for Kde-Sunset,
but does anyone know of a way round this obstacle or have other advice ?

Actually, a thousand million times better than ksokoban is EasySok,
which is, by far, the best puzzle game ever released on Linux.
Unfortunately, that one was abandoned years ago despite being better
than all other sokobans...

qt-meta is not provided by portage, you need to use an overlay for that
too.

You can install lcms:0 from the wmt overlay - eix -R is your friend here,
but depending on libraries with known security holes is a risk that only
you can decide is worth taking.

You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to
skydive twice.

It's included in Kde-Sunset.

'wmt' is not listed at  https://overlays.gentoo.org/ : a typo ?

I've forwarded my original msg to the Desktop list,
which is given as the appropriate one for Kde-Sunset.
Further comments from Users are very welcome.

For a tiny timezone app +  2  puzzle games, security isn't in question.

Or "If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving" ... (grin)
