What does it change?

After re-emerging kde-4.1.1 from kde-testing (without kdeprefix) I noticed e.g. its binaries got placed in /usr/bin instead of /usr/kde/4.x/ - the latter being rather vacant now except for some kdm icons. Am I right in supposing +kdeprefix changes this to old behaviour?

From what I can tell, both kde-misc/kdnssd-avahi-0.1.2 (the dependency for KDE 3.5 with the avahi USE flag) and kde-base/kdelibs-4.1.1-r2 want to make a libkdnssd.so library.

If you don't have the kdeprefix USE flag set, you'll get a file collision on emerge (or you would have before they put in the check for kde-misc/kdnssd-avahi).

With kdeprefix, the libkdnssd.so for kde-misc/kdnssd-avahi-0.1.2 goes in /usr/lib, and the libkdnssd.so for kde-base/kdelibs-4.1.1-r2 goes in /usr/kde/4.1/lib/.

It still seems like it leaves some potential for conflicts.

Does your Kopete have Jabber support? (I use 4.1, but I've switched my keywords to 4.2 just now)

Boccaccio · Post by **Boccaccio** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 5:59 pm

Yes, my kopete has jabber support, but the 4.2 is not yet built here and 4.1.1 still is the old kdesvn-overlay version, since without kdelibs, I cannot compile kopete.

ArneBab · Post by **ArneBab** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 12:07 am

THen I nmade a mistake somewhere - mine misses the option of adding my jabber accounts.

I am trying to install kde-4.1 on gentoo using the kde-testing overlay and there is a problem with qt. As explained on the wiki (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_KDE4), I unmasked strigi-0.5 and phonon-4.2. The problem is that these 2 ebuilds seem to depend of different version of qt belonging to the same slot. Here is what I got when I emerge kdebase-startkde:4:

!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been
!!! pulled into the dependency graph:

x11-libs/qt:4

('ebuild', '/', 'x11-libs/qt-4.3.3', 'merge') pulled in by
('ebuild', '/', 'app-misc/strigi-0.5.11', 'merge')

('ebuild', '/', 'x11-libs/qt-4.4.2', 'merge') pulled in by
('ebuild', '/', 'media-sound/phonon-4.2.0-r1', 'merge')

Is there a way to solve this problem ?
Thanks for your help.

Dont Panic · Post by **Dont Panic** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 9:21 pm

The already installed version of app-misc/strigi is depending on the existing qt-4.3, so you'll need to force a re-install of strigi.

You can 'emerge kdebase-startkde:4 app-misc/strigi', or if that doesn't work, you may have to delete the app-misc/strigi package and install it after you install the new version of qt.

I don't remember if it mattered, but I installed x11-libs/qt-4.4.* on a separate emerge pass before I installed KDE 4.1.

FrancoisVal · Post by **FrancoisVal** » Wed Sep 24, 2008 5:42 pm

I managed to get strigi installed but there is a problem with phonon. When I try to install it, it shows that it depens on qt-4.3.3 and qt-coreat the same time:

Code: Select all

emerge -av1 media-sound/phonon

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Since these two version of qt are uncompatible, it is impossible to install this package. I find that rather strange. When I look in the ebuild for media-sound/phonon, it seems to only depend of qt:4.

Is there a solution to the problem ?
Thanks for your help.

Try adding "=x11-libs/qt-4.3*" to /etc/portage/package.mask.
It should work out fine.

Perhaps some interesting information about KDE4 in Gentoo, about political reasons, etc. Also read the comments: http://www.freehackers.org/blogs/orzel/ ... nd-frozen/

[EDIT] added:

I believe it's actually an issue with Git but nothing I've found online helps... anyone have any ideas?

you need to let know git that it needs to use a proxy. this is the way to do this:

1. create a file somewhere (i suggest /usr/local/bin/proxy.sh) which contains the following:

Code: Select all

#! /bin/bash

(echo "CONNECT $1:$2 HTTP/1.0";echo;cat) | socket
<um> <pwd> <proxy server> <proxy port> | (read a;read a;cat)

here's the kernel trap article about how to let git know you're using a proxy.
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git/2006/5/16/204980

the problem is that kdesvn-portage doesn't really use git, but svn[/quote] and with svn i still haven't been able to pass a proxy firewall.

hey guys im trying to install kde-testing, and it asked to unsmask a few more things then the regular ones in the given keywords file, but ok, i did.

then it started installing, no prob(im not using kdeprefix)... the it stoped on soprano out of some issue with downloading it.
it tries a few mirrors, they dont work, then it goes to sourceforge, and SF gives it a broken file, with 1% the size.
i dont know how to manually DL, and tell the emerge that i did it, so...

anyone got any hints, ideas, alternatives?
i'd love any, i just wanna use kde4.1.

You shouldn't have unmask anything. You'll only need keyword stuff if you're using the stable branch.
If it's telling that stuff is masked make sure you've added the path to the overlay to PORTDIR_OVERLAY in /etc/make.conf:

layman version < 1.2.0 --> echo "source /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf" >> /etc/make.conf
layman version >= 1.2.0 --> echo "source /usr/local/portage/layman/make.conf" >> /etc/make.conf

(This is following the instructions for using layman at: http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Overlays#Layman)

No it isn't=), but it is not very helpful lately as almost all packages have 4.1.1 versions and those that don't simply don't follow KDE versioning or are in alpha state.

You mean in testing overlay as I don't see it in the main tree? In the testing overlay it looks like they already work on 4.2 for some time=)

Yehah!

Many thanks to the Gentoo KDE team!

You're great!

...

But there's a but: I think the KDE people only open up the release tarballs before the actual release on the condition that distributions prepare and add it at the official release date - are the ebuilds scheduled to only be available for rsync on the release date?

i realized this an hour ago and ended up with a broken system.
now i don't even have 4.0 which i unmerged just before wanting to install 4.1...
can't install 4.0 nor 4.1, not even libkonq-3.5.9 (which i unmerged as well accidentally)...
there are files missing in portage tree...

Post by **asturm** » Thu Oct 02, 2008 1:35 pm

You'll have to wait for KDE.org to release the source. Once that's happened, the 4.1.2 ebuilds will go ~.
