I unmasked all the 3.5 ebuilds and moved the beta ebuilds to a portage overlay where I added the ~x86 keyword. There were IIRC 2 or 3 compile failures, but after 'emerge --resume --skipfirst' they could also be compiled. Sorry I can't remember which failed, I could have a look in the emerge.log if needed.

I'm not too happy with an idea of putting a beta release into ~arch, especially not into ~x86 - too many clueless users are running ~x86 these days, just for the coolness factor. If someone wants to try the beta, let them make the work you did, Markus - unmasking, moving to overlay, yadda yadda. KDE team, what do you think about it?
Unmasking it is a no-go, for sure. What he's probably saying is to keyword it ~x86, leaving it p.masked. Right now it's just keyworded ~amd64 (as I'm the one who added it and I cannot test it on x86).
Markus: In general feedback is welcome, but this is beta software and these ebuilds won't ever go stable, so such a bug is pointless.
