When you try to install the (huge) kde package from the binary packages CDROM (always worked on older gentoo distributions) it will not install claiming that there is no binary package for glib-1.2. The only way to get kde to install is from source (requires about 20 hours of compile time) This is seriously broken. One of the main reasons for the binary packages CD is to be able to bypass the super long compile time for kde. Please fix this BUG! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.mount packages-athlon-xp-2005.0 cdrom 2.export PKGDIR="/mnt/cdrom" 3.emerge -K kde Actual Results: There was no way to resolve the dependancy on glib-1.2 without doing an emerge sync then emerge glib After that was done there was no way to get the binary package to accept the updated portage tree, so binary loading of kde was no longer possible Expected Results: This really sucks! It shouldn't take 20 hours (always) to install kde!
I have to confirm this. At least - leaving the snapshot distributed from cd - downloading a "glib-1.2.10.tar.gz" from somewhere and copying it to the distfiles-directory makes emerge -k kde running without further complains.
Fixed with 2005.1... though it is now kde-meta (which is better anyway... :P)
I apologise for this bugspam, but I wish to close this product, so I need to move all the bugs.
