The Kaffeine mediaplayer in portage builds against kde3. The preview release of kaffeine build now against kde4. As kde4 is now stable on amd64, we should probably add an ebuild for the new version. See http://kaffeine.kde.org/ Reproducible: Always
I concur. It would also: 1. let people submit bugs, helping the creation of a stable app 2. let some people (like me) unmerge kdelibs 3.5, which creates problems with 4.3
Created attachment 207829 [details] ebuild for kaffeine-1.0_pre2 This is a first version of an ebuild for the current kaffeine development version. It is tested and working on amd64 and x86, the apps are working and playing video/sound.
In portage.

(In reply to comment #5) > And DVB is working even without ... Hi, Samuli, FACTUM est: -) I had a working kaffeine including DVB-T (0.8.x) -) Somebody decided to mark this _RC_ as _STABLE_ . -) Relying, i upgraded - not any warning message at all. -) Now, I find no DVB-T ability at all. -) ... searching for reasons ... solutions ... and time goes by ... I'm not amused. And I doubt that this policy is what Gentoo should stand for. At least, it does not comply with the very good job of the KDE release team. I also have the wish to get rid of the last reminiscent KDE-3 chunks ... but not this way. P.S.: You hint > ... And DVB is working even without, see e.g. > http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-799456-highlight-kaffeine.html was not really helpful ;( cite <sera>: "Very strange considering this is a Gentoo system."

Bugzilla is not a helpdesk, it's been working for everyone I've talked to either straight away or after small setupping. If you have *real bugs* to report, *with useful information*, open a new bug. Adding a "dvb" use flag which doesn't do anything, won't help your case.

Now you have another report where it didn't. And there are postings da core ... > Adding a "dvb" use flag > which doesn't do anything, won't help your case. Again: I didn't aks for that. > If you have *real bugs* to > report, *with useful information*, open a new bug. Breaking a stable installation IS a bug - at least in my eyes ... ######### Sorry, but your answers totally a-miss the point imortant to me: IFF somebody marks a RC as being _stable_ , then he takes over the responsibility that the dependant user's upgrades do NOT BREAK working installations. At the very least, the emerge should give a notable warning. I thought that this was why we can rely on Gentoo for _stable_ systems as well ... ... just my 2 cents ...
Forgot to say that it works perfectly for me, even DVB-T: thank you.

Probably 1.0_pre2 is more stable than 0.8.8. Moreover, having kdelibs 3.5 installed gave me lots of problems, maybe someone else have my same problem... It didn't break my system, so I think you really should post another bug describing what problems you have (because you didn't say it here), because it's not an everyone's bug. Solutions to problems are bugs reports and fixes, not keeping a package masked until all its bugs are fixed, because there will always be a bug in every package ;) > I thought that this was why we can rely on Gentoo > for _stable_ systems as well ... > > ... just my 2 cents ... It's far more stable than other distros (even than Debian in my opinion), believe me ;)

Emerged kaffeine and it has no dvb flag and doesn't put ANY dvb-utils dependencies on my sistem... this is definitely a BUG, this ebuild doesn't work as expetcted and doesn't cover all program features.

You should read previous replies before posting. 2. As already said, dvb USE flag doesn't affect the package. 3. As already said, DVB works without any flag (I'm actually using it). 4. There isn't anything called dvb-utils (and similar) in the tree. If it's a package that you need, install it yourself or open a bug report requesting to add it in the tree, DON'T ASK IT HERE.
