the kde metabar sidebar was included in main kde. kde-misc/metabar was needed for older versions of kde. now, as the metabar is included in konq-plugins, I see no reason for its ebuild to exists (it even blocks konq-plugins). Thanks, Dan. Reproducible: Always
agree. from metabar ebuilds: DEPEND="|| ( kde-base/konqueror >=kde-base/kdebase-3.3 ) !>=kde-base/konq-plugins-3.5.0" and since we only have kde-3.5.{5,6} in portage, metabar is useless. pmask and removing in 30 days? if nobody is against removing (and I think there's no reason for this ;) ), I do it. Cheers, Przemek
Nuke this...
In itself the blocker doesn't matter. If there's someone preferring this application over the one in kde-base/, that's fine. It doesn't even build here, though, so it's masked now and will be gone, unless someone wants to maintain it.
Thanks
