To give an update on my last blog entry, after some work in the missing ebuilds and patches and after reviewing the KDE project page and the 4.X guide, I’ve removed the package.mask entry for 4.2.0. So after the file is propagated to the mirrors, you’ll be able to update to 4.2.0.
As always, we hope you have much fun, but if you find any snags, let us know in #gentoo-kde or in bugzilla. Before you fill any bugs, please double check the KDE-4.X Guide[1] and search in bugzilla for the bug. As we already have some open bugs[2], you may want to start there.
