Description Epicanis 2008-12-17 22:52:01 UTC
While I'm aware of the kdesvn overlay, it always seems to depend on a number of (as the name implies) SVN "-9999" package upgrades being pulled in and potential headaches later, even when explicitly asking for a specific beta version release.

Any chance a complete collection of the current "official" KDE 4.2 beta and release-candidate versions (currently "4.1.85") might show up in the kdetesting overlay soon?

(If I may be forgiven for making this two requests - a similar update to the current beta of digikam would be nice, too...overlay=0.10.0-beta2, current=0.10.0-beta6)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Observe announcements of new KDE 4.2 beta version releases
2.Fail to seem them in kde-testing
3.Begin to try out kdesvn, but stop when all the "-9999" packages are still needed even when explicitly asking for "=kdebase-4.1.85" (for example)
4.Wail, Gnash Teeth, Beat desk with fists in impotent rage.
5.Beg for a favor on bugs.gentoo.org

Actual Results:  
The steps above made me feel very sad, though the last one leaves a small glimmer of hope in my shriveled and jaded heart.

Expected Results:  
kde-4.1.85 packages magically appear in the kde-testing overlay, along with digikam-0.10-beta7 and an unexpected and miraculously ready release-candidate of K3B, the appearance of which shall be announced by the trumpeting of angels, making me so happy that I forget to eat, drink, or bathe for days as I bask in the glow of the KDE 4.2 beta features which have long been denied me.  

Or at least it will be possible to install KDE 4.2 betas/release-candidates using "released" source without hand-compiling or pulling SVN builds.

No, I'm NOT "always like this".  Just most of the time.

we have to finalize eclass updates first. So when they are working eclasses then you shalll get your kde 4.2.
For time beeing you can play with kde-crazy, it has 4.1.85 too :] but you can expect moar troubles :]
