kdenetwork cvs build has no newdepend line, so depends on qt-3.0.5 instead of qt-5
No cvs ebuild depends on qt-5, they all depend on 3.0.5 and work fine with it. When switching between qt-3.0.5 and qt-5 you have to recompile most cvs kde packages (but not the stable 3.0.x ones), but other than that both qt versions work OK. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you?
Sorry, perhaps I was a bit terse :) I just meant that I have emerged qt-5, but when I try to emerge a couple of the kde cvs builds, like network and addons, they try to emerge qt-3.0.5, and to me it looks like its because they dont have a newdepend line.
They're not supposed to have a newdend line, at least not one that includes a dep on qt, the eclasses (kde-functions.eclass -> need-qt() ) handles that. This behaviour is obviously incorrect. (What I mean is that is doen't usually occur :-) Try deleting your ebuild cache (rm -rf /var/cache/edp/dep/*) and make sure you have the latest version of protage installed, then try again. If that doesn't help, attach your eclass-debug.log (from /var/tmp/portage/whatever/temp).
Status update? Did you try my suggestions? How're things going? By now you should switch to qt 3.1.0 :-)
Its working now, I dont remember how I fixed it. Im wondering if I wasnt trying emerge -p as myself instead of root, which would mean I couldnt read the overlay directory. Im still using qt-5 though :) Are you just cleaning out the cupboard of old bugs? ;) Actually, are you interested in hosting my X11 cvs ebuild with your kde ones? Nobody else seems very interested in it, but Im using it right now and its fine. I'll do the support for it.
Well - I'm barely maintaining the cvs ebuilds right now, just fixing urgent progblems, until some time after kde 3.1 is out the door. Also I don't really want to have ebuilds I don't (and can't) maintain in there - kde stuff is enough for me (I most likely wouldn't even use a cvs xfree myself). I understand you're looking for more users & testers for your ebuild, and I suggest you contact the people handling xfree in Gentoo (Azarah for instance). They are already maintaining ebuilds for the 4.2.99.* xfree prerelease series, and might acept a cvs ebuild too. (There are now several cvs ebuilds in portage itself, such as wine and gaim, mainly done by phoenix).
