A recent news article has announced that support for the desktop/kde profile has been dropped and that I should upgrade to Plasma: https://www.gentoo.org/support/news-items/2016-04-07-kde-plasma5-stable.html However, arm architectures do not have a desktop/plasma profile. I submitted a bug report about a blocker while installing kde-apps/kdebase-meta which was closed as invalid because support for desktop/kde was dropped: BUG588468 Please add the desktop/plasma profile to arm architectures since I cannot install kde-apps/kdebase-meta I will gladly start testing KDE Plasma on arm and begin submitting stabilization requests -- that is if I could emerge it ;)
Please provide output of eselect profile list.
Requested profiles actually already exist: # find profiles -name plasma | sort profiles/default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/plasma profiles/default/linux/arm/13.0/armv4/desktop/plasma profiles/default/linux/arm/13.0/armv4t/desktop/plasma profiles/default/linux/arm/13.0/armv5te/desktop/plasma profiles/default/linux/arm/13.0/armv6j/desktop/plasma profiles/default/linux/arm/13.0/armv7a/desktop/plasma profiles/default/linux/arm/13.0/desktop/plasma profiles/default/linux/x86/13.0/desktop/plasma profiles/targets/desktop/plasma Probably descriptions in profiles/profiles.desc should be added which are missing now: # grep plasma profiles/profiles.desc amd64 default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/plasma stable amd64 default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/plasma/systemd stable x86 default/linux/x86/13.0/desktop/plasma stable x86 default/linux/x86/13.0/desktop/plasma/systemd stable # grep -E "^arm.*desktop/kde" profiles/profiles.desc arm default/linux/arm/13.0/desktop/kde dev arm default/linux/arm/13.0/desktop/kde/systemd dev arm default/linux/arm/13.0/armv4/desktop/kde dev arm default/linux/arm/13.0/armv4t/desktop/kde dev arm default/linux/arm/13.0/armv5te/desktop/kde dev arm default/linux/arm/13.0/armv6j/desktop/kde dev arm default/linux/arm/13.0/armv7a/desktop/kde dev
@arm is it OK to add the plasma profile to profiles.desc?
(In reply to Nathan Shearer from comment #0) > I will gladly start testing KDE Plasma on arm and begin submitting > stabilization requests -- that is if I could emerge it ;) Stabilisation on arm is an interesting idea but I'd be concerned about the workload on the arm team, considering the number of packages involved and how fast qt/frameworks/plasma is moving.
Any news on adding the plasma profile to /usr/portage/profiles/profiles.desc? I've done it manually on several of my systems and when I unmask stable x86 packages I'm able to emerge plasma and it's remarkably stable.
