As some of you may have noticed 😉 KDE-4.1.2 was released on October 3rd after a 2 day delay for some ABI breakage and despite the news in contrary, no Gentoo is not dying, the ebuilds for this release hit the tree before the tarballs were made available by KDE.
Why are the ebuilds still masked? When will they move to ~arch? The mask was put in place to prevent issues while the ebuilds were committed (it took more than 6 hours) and while the tarballs weren’t made public. The p. mask is still in place because we’re trying to solve a few final issues regarding the integration of kde-3.5 and kde-4.1 and while we get some docs ready to help install kde-4.1. We plan to take it out of p. mask ASAP – I was hoping for this weekend, but it wasn’t possible.
So KDE is getting back on track in Gentoo, hey KDE-4.1.2 got to the tree before GNOME-2.24 😉 and we’ll start reviewing the bugs that have been piling up. As always, any help is most welcome, so if you’re interested read how to help and don’t forget to check the
KDE HT page.
Everyone wishing to use KDE-4.1 should read the KDE-4.1 Guide.
*thumbs up*
Hey!
It’s not unmasked just yet, I still have some time to beat you in the race! *g
Great work and hopefully we will be able to get those last few bugs crushed soon. I am doing what I can with a very hectic schedule 😉
I’ve tried using the kde-4.1.Guide but find it doesn’t work. something bout kdebase-kioslaves-4.1.68 masked by missing keyword.
Great work! Really good to see kde-gentoo getting up to date again.
