Hello. I see several threads addressing this topic generally, and there's no "official" help that I can find yet. I have several boxes which I want to block KDE4 on, but one in particular is my MythTV box. MythTV will not support QT4 until the 0.22 release. I want to block all QT4+ upgrades until that is released (and probably a little longer after that release, as I have some older hardware in the form of a PVR-350 which I want to make sure still works in the new MythTV). What is the easiest and most supportable way of blocking QT4/KDE4, without making swiss cheese out of my /etc/portage/* files by hand?

Thanks in advance. If more information is needed, I'll be glad to supply it.

I would start by putting kde-base/kde-meta:3.5 (or whatever variant you use) in the world file.

In make.conf USE="-qt4 -qt3support qt3"

Hrm. But I don't want KDE. QT yes, KDE no.

I did just explicitly disable qt3support (which I didn't realize was default enabled), and I have had this stanza in /etc/portage/package.mask since forever:
Code:

mythtvbox portage # grep -i qt *
package.mask:>=x11-libs/qt-4


I get this, which makes me sad:

Code:

# emerge -puDNv --with-bdeps y system world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy ">=app-misc/strigi-
0.6.3[dbus,qt4]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- app-misc/strigi-0.7.0 (Change USE: +qt4)
(dependency required by "kde-base/kdelibs-4.3.1-r2" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "world" [argument])
             
mythtvbox ~ #


If there's a link to docs that I've missed, I'd love to see it. :)
