This year’s FOSDEM is just around the corner! (February 6th/7th, Brussels, Belgium)
A lot of interesting talks and presentations will take place and I’m pretty sure there’s going to be a lot of beer too! ^_^
Many Gentoo Developers will be there for the whole weekend, including me
See you all there
I’ve been using firefox for too long.
Its excellent vimperator extension has prevented me from switching to anything else, but it is beginning to show its age. Slow loading times, occasional crashes, horrible JS performance…
Meet uzbl. Wordplay for usable. Its developers describe it as web interface tools which adhere to the unix philosophy. I like to [...]
Today we renamed kde-testing back to kde in layman. You should remove and add the overlay again:
layman -d kde-testing; layman -L; layman -a kde;
In other news,
Qt 4.6.0 final was released by Nokia yesterday. You’ll find ebuilds in portage’s ~testing. If you’re using stable and want to try it out, make sure you keyword ALL the [...]
So… qt-*-4.6.0_rc1 is now in the portage tree, masked (since its not a final release) and you can begin testing your shiny Qt applications with it.
But there’s a catch.
4.6.0_rc1 is not binary compatible with 4.6.0_beta1. [1]
This means that if you’re upgrading from 4.6.0_beta1 you have to rebuild every single app depending on qt-*, or they [...]
As most of you know, KDE 3.5 is getting off the Gentoo train for various reasons mentioned elsewhere (in short: security, lack of upstream interest).
Some people are still using it though and they have been asking how they can keep it on their system, without emerge screaming each time they try to update world.
I’m writing [...]
Starting today, Greek Gentoo users have their own mailing list to discuss stuff and ask questions: gentoo-user-el.
For more info on how to subscribe, please visit http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/lists.xml
The list is not mentioned there yet, but you can use it normally.

KDE 4.3.3 was released on Tuesday, with ebuilds instantly available to users in the main tree.
We also have KDE 4.3.1 in stable \o/
KDE 3.5 is on its way out of portage, with kde-sunset being the overlay that will (hopefully) be maintained by users still interested in it.
Finally, KDE 4.4 Beta 1 is due December 1st [...]
Nokia switched their Qt git master to version 4.7 recently, creating a new branch for 4.6.
They also created two new branches, master-stable and 4.6-stable. Commits pushed to those branches are tested in Nokia’s testing farms, ensuring that they’ll always build.
The Gentoo Qt team provides various live Qt ebuilds in our official overlay, qting-edge [1]. These [...]
UPDATE: 4.3.1 is now unmasked for amd64/x86 and the masking issue has been fixed by jmbsvicetto, so we won’t have this issue again in the future! The post below is updated to reflect on it.
The first bugfix release for KDE 4.3, 4.3.1, is now available.
You can read about the improvements it brings here.
Ebuilds for KDE [...]
KDE 4.3 has arrived
Lots of behind-the-scenes fixes, a new pretty (debatable) default plasma theme and various new stuff across the board make kde 4.3 an exciting release!
Gentoo ebuilds were available the moment tarballs were released, thanks to the hard work of our Gentoo KDE team
However, since 4.3 brings some new packages [...]
