*We don't care if you wanted it stable yesterday, it will be stable when it's ready to go stable.* And before people start thinking we got 3.5.2 months before it was released, the prereleases are three days before final release, they are _not_ for testing purposes, they are for binary distributions to prepare packages and for us to prepare ebuild, and a "build & run" kind of test to make sure there are no obvious problems. Although modular, KDE 3.5 has to go stable _at once_ and if KMail is totally broken, or has major feature loss (it had), we can't go stable. Now, we're going to stable this as soon as it's possible, but making us lose time on this is something you don't want, as that takes time to the bugs resolution. If you really want, you use ~arch directly, I'm doing that since I started using Gentoo, and works as a charm for me. -- Diego "Flameeyes" Pettenò - http://farragut.flameeyes.is-a-geek.org/ Gentoo/Alt lead, Gentoo/FreeBSD, Video, AMD64, Sound, PAM, KDE
