Upgrading KDE 3.0 to 3.1

When I emerge kde 3.1 rc5 - will it be separate from 3.0 or will it be an automatic upgrade?

Stupid question i know - sorry

Not sure if I have to do an upgrade switch or not to kde 3.1 when I emerge it.

Thanks

It'll be an upgrade. There's no useage of SLOTS with the KDE ebuilds. Even if you don't use the upgrade switch, it will still upgrade and autoclean. TBH, I have no idea what difference using the -u switch makes.

I emerged them and have both installed right now and emerge world doesn't try to upgrade them. emerging 3.1 didn't try to remove 3.0

KDE ebuilds do use slots. I currently have KDE 3.0.4 and KDE 3.1rc5 installed.

You can have 3.0 and 3.1 installed at the same time due to KDE's use of slots.

Oops, you're right. I didn't see SLOTS in the ebuild but that's because I wasn't look at kde-base/kdelibs. Sorry about that.
