I’ve created an ebuild based on the one in portage.

You can find it in my overlay, wirelay, masked.

for instructions on how to add wirelay to layman, check the Documentation in the overlay or this post:

Unfortunately this version requires stuff not in the main portage tree, so you’ll have to add the “x11″ overlay

layman -a x11

I’ve also opened a bug in Gentoo’s bugtracker with the ebuild:

bug #270794 [ebuild] awesome-3.3_rc3

Lots of config changes in this version, so in my upcoming awesome+conky how-to I’ll give you two seperate config files =]

awesome 3.3_rc3 with conky-updated panels

This happened because some applications (namely ark and nepomuk) now depend on a new package in extragear/libs called libknotificationitem.

I’ve made the necessary modifications in gentoo’s kde-testing overlay to fix the issue  by adding a new ebuild for libknotificationitem and adding libknotificationitem DEPEND lines in ark and nepomuk. I also had to revbump plasma-workspace to r1 and block the old ebuild because libknotificationitem had file collisions with it.

So, if you had issues while @live-rebuilding kde4 today, sync your overlay and update

update: libknotificationitem just got moved to kdelibs/experimental
