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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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.

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 [...]
UPDATE: All <qt-*-4.5.3:4 ebuilds were removed on Nov 11th, 2009, so this problem is now fixed
So…… you’re trying to emerge kde 4 on your fresh ~ gentoo installation but strange blocks show up… stuff like
[blocks B ] >x11-libs/qt-opengl-4.5.1-r9999 (“>x11-libs/qt-opengl-4.5.1-r9999″ is blocking x11-libs/qt-gui-4.5.1-r2, x11-libs/qt-dbus-4.5.1)

KDE 4.2.4 showed up in kde’s ftp server (and various mirrors) today
Now available in Gentoo’s kde-testing overlay, soon in tree as usual!
update: in cvs tree
KDE 4.2.3 was officially released today
It’s already available in gentoo’s kde-testing overlay and will be added in portage’s tree really really soon
update: 4.2.3 is now in the portage tree =]
Some changes in KDE’s svn repository broke some live gentoo ebuilds today…
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 [...]
Tampakrap and I have been working to make KDE 3 out-of-kde-base applications install and work alongside KDE 4.
Most of the work is now done. The eclasses have gained EAPI 2 support, tampakrap converted the misc apps to EAPI 2, we killed some eclass bugs that made some kde-base packages fail and @kde-3.5 and other ebuilds [...]
