[solved] masking KDE5 / Plasma 5

Message

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how I can mask the kde update. For me, KDE4 works fine, and I would like to keep it until Plasma 5 is completely done.
Is there a simple way to mask that or do I have to name every single atom in my package.mask?
I tried

Code: Select all

>=kde-apps/*-15.08.8
>=kde-frameworks/*-5.13.0

but that didn't work, so I was wondering if there's a special package I can mask instead..

kde-apps-15.08 is a mix of kde4 and kde5 - which might be an issue currently for you as you want/need the kde4-packages from that release.
I think

Code: Select all

kde-apps/*:5
kde-plasma/*
kde-frameworks/*

in package-mask should work.

Awesome, thank you so much, franzf, that worked!

I'll mark this as solved ^^

Hi, i tried plasma5/kde5 but i can't get it to work.

I've done a lot of masking/keywording to build it.
The gentoo plasma ebuilds leads to a system which crashed right after the login.
Then i tried the kde overlay. The crashes where gone but there was no desktop. I could open a context menu but nothing there worked.
New empty users didn't change the behaviour.

My system is running 12 years now and it seems finally i screwed it with this.
Now i'm trying to switch all back.

I did your changes in the package.mask.

Code: Select all

kde-apps/*:5
kde-plasma/*
kde-frameworks/*

Now i'm trying to unmerge all the new stuff:

Code: Select all

emerge --unmerge kde-frameworks/*
emerge --unmerge kde-plasma/*

Had to remerge some packages.

Code: Select all

emerge kde-apps/baloo-widgets kde-apps/kmix kde-apps/konsole kde-apps/dolphin kde-apps/kde-wallpapers kde-base/kwin konqueror kde-base/systemsettings kde-base/kdebase-startkde kde-base/plasma-workspace

Switch back profile to kde

Code: Select all

eselect profile set 6
emerge --newuse world

Will post if i get kde up and running again.

Got it doing a final

emerge --newuse --deep world

Now i have my old kde4 system back.

I did not like plasma 5, seems very unstable. Here is a mask list to stay with the old kde4 if you are ~arch

Seems stable to me. Just i am having an issue with phonon. there is no kcmshell5 kcm_phonon. Unable to switch my audio devices.

this way worked for masking kde5 using suggested stuff at the beginning:
/etc/portage/package.mask/kde5mask
kde-apps/*:5
kde-apps/*:4/15.08
kde-plasma/*
kde-frameworks/*

After this fix downgrade started

Nothing speaks against getting latest kde4-based updates, no?

I was just going to say I don't see why someone would block the :4 updates either. It seems to be working fine here with the recent updates in slot 4 on my KDE4 ~amd64 system. At least with the packages I am using...
