KDE, Teamspeak and QT 5.5

Hi together,

yesterday i tried to install Teasmspeak on my Gentoosystem. First i saw that an old version of Teamspeak (3.0.17) was listed in the official Portage Tree. Because the old Version has a fatal Bug in it i looked for the new Version 3.0.18.2. For the new Version i has added an overlay which includes the new ebuild for that version. After that i tried to install Teamspeak and i got the Messages from Portage that i need especially for that new Version QT 5.5. But Qt 5.5 for Amd64 is marked as unstable.

Now i dont know if i want to upgrade to an unstable QT. Anyone has Experience with Qt 5.5?
Its in my opinion stupid to upgrade a whole system to an unstable Release only because one Programm need it. How long does it take Qt 5.5 becomes stable?

Maybe my English is bad Sorry for that

I've been using Qt 5.5 for about four months without issue, and I expect 5.5.1 to be our next stable candidate.

If you don't want to wait for stabilisation, you could keyword the appropriate packages in /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords and keep the rest of your system stable:
