Bug 209586 – KDE 4.0.1 - no monolithic ebuilds in portage

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joel 2008-02-10 19:59:55 UTC]

I'm trying to install KDE-4.0.1 so I can report bugs and contribute to the community, but when doing "emerge -avD kde-base/kde:kde-4", portage tells me that  the dependency graph is broken, or something like that (now I'm not in my computer). I have observed that for example, there is no kdegames-4.0.1 in portage. And the situation has been the same for 3 - 4 days (when kde-4.0.1 packages were put in portage). When will be kde-4.0.1 completed in portage? Thanks.

Reproducible: Always

Please read that and switch to split ebuilds for KDE 4.0.1.
There are currently no monolithic ebuilds for it and it is unsure if there will be.
(Note, that there is no "kde-4.0.1.ebuild".)

If it is just about the upgrade message, please mask any -4.0.1 ebuild, that gets pulled in (maybe kdepimlibs etc.), by adding it to your local mask file (/etc/portage/package.mask).

After some discussion we've decided that there will not be any monolithic KDE 4.0.1 ebuilds. The KDE 4 guide ( http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/kde/kde4.xml ) has been updated to reflect that, closing as WONTFIX instead.
