>Another nice feature could (should?) be that all (versions of) KDE-packages can
be controlled individually, but unfortunately this isn't possible (yet).
Apart from the raised maintenance cost for us (which alone is a reason not to
suport this), it would ba a nightmare for upstream developers, if you file a bug
and they ask for the version of KDE you're using and you say "for ebuild a, b, c
I use version x, y, z". In non-obvious cases they probably would tend to refuse
such a bug report. And yes, kde.org developers moaned already about the bug
reports from Gentoo users (included mine ;).
Yes, we won't support this. Mixed KDE versions are too dangerous. |
