Subject: [gentoo-user]  kde4 upgrading
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:13:29 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20091027T170127-637@post.gmane.org> (raw)

Hello,

I have several workstations on kde4, mostly 4.2.4 or 4.2.x.


I'm looking for a clean, easy, unattended method to upgrade
about a dozen systems to kde 4.3.x (Or KDE 4 stable only). I'm 
not sure what the latest stable kde4 version is, 
or what folks recommend.


Since I try to keep the system with the same packages installed, as to
not cause me to go crazy. Most are using SETS and the /etc/portage
files are a mess and all different.


Simplification and consolidation on kde 4 that is stable is my goal.
Trying to upgrade causes a painful one step at a time editing of
the /etc/portage files. I need to get away from that!

Suggestions or documents are most appreciated, even if I have to unmerge
all of kde4-hack and reinstall kde4.3(stable).

Is this guide the best (and current) to use:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/kde/kde4-guide.xml#doc_chap2


I'm looking for guidance and wisdom here, to keep my admin time
at a minimal on kde4.


ideas?
James
