kde 3.5.0 beta2 is out.

The code I posted originally works with beta2, as it's greater than or equal to beta1 unmasking. Enjoy :X.

EDIT:
I've used the -vorbis use flag on kioslaves and its fine now, but I'd still like to get this fixed. The kdemultimedia-kfile-plugins package exhibits the same problem. I imagine Akode will too, but I've not got round to compiling that yet.

Hi guys,

I'm trying to install KDE 3.5 beta2 but when it comes to compiling kdemultimedia-kioslaves, it fails with this:

This may also come in handy:
for packages in kde-base/*; do emerge -C "=${packages}-3.5_beta1"; done

Just came across klax on bloglines - http://ktown.kde.org/~binner/klax/devel.html
downloaded the iso and got a quick review of KDE 3.5 rc1... :-)

mvh

Okay, color me stupid. I'm doing a fresh install.

I have ~x86 in ACCEPT KEYWORDS, and KDE 3.5 is not hard masked, but it wants to emerge 3.3

So I put it in unmask and keywords just to be sure. I've also put this in my package.keywords:

maybe it's time to "emerge sync" ?

KDE 3.5 stable ebuilds are now available in Portage, although there are no files for them. KDE webpage still has release pegged for Nov 29. Anybody got any idea as to the timetable?

They just changed that release date. it was the 23rd last time I looked (yesterday or so).

Oh and there's rc2 src up now too so if it is going to be a week maybe we need to get some rc2 ebuilds.
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/3.5-rc2/src

I emerge the rc2 of arts, kdelibs and the kdebase packages that were already rc1 (others still at beta*). I just replaced the tarballs with the new files and digested everything. Worked fine, one ebuild failed that had a irrelevant patch to my system. It didn't solve my problems I'm having with ebay and and local browsers though. I had to put all ebay.com traffic through my routers web proxy so search.ebay.com wouldn't time-out at random times. It seems like it could be something in kde triggering it but it happens with firefox at times too so I'm thinking something in the default network configs somehow. It's happening on 2 separate gentoo boxes but not the windows laptop with firefox and even on gentoo with firefox it works most of the time but not always. Anway I can't say it's kde 3.5 for sure or gentoo....
