I want to test recent versions of
qt-4.8.4
kde-4.9.4

But adding the two overlays qt and kde just gives me - when issued "emerge -auvDN world"

Looks like normal dependencies to me. If you update a package, the ebuild will pull in whatever updates are also necessary. There's no way around it.

And/or: if you're on ~arch and you install an overlay with higher version numbers of existing packages, those will get pulled in. Again, that's to be expected.

This is all perfectly fine. Be aware that kde-4.9.4 tarball will only be officially released in two days.

I am using ~amd64

@audiodef, ok these should update, but there are no others - all qt and kde atoms I am interested in are masked

@genstorm, ok I can wait these two days. Will it be available using newer qt libs also?

But if overlays shall help Gentoo maintainers by letting ordinary users test easily - this is the hard way. Shouldn't there be an additional kdetest overlay for easy testing purpose?

The purpose of the overlays is not to provide easy non-masked packages for testing. For kde overlay you will usually find package.unmask and package.keywords files inside the Documentation directory to which you can link from inside your /etc/portage/package.{keywords,unmask} dirs.
