Once an emerge get into the portage tree, the standard (and rarely, if ever violated) waiting time before they become stable is 30 days. I've installed a few kde-3.5 packages without problem. I have a friend that's been running it since beta 2. Since you seem to be very interested in this package, I encourage you to unmask it by adding '=cat-egory/package-3.5* ~x86' to your /etc/portage/package.keywords for each of the kde-3.5 packages you want to install. With the new style meta ebuilds you can install package by package OR try and do the whole thing by emerging kde-meta. You'll still have to add each package to your /etc/portage/package.keywords. The whole point of ~arch is testing, bug reports will help refine the ebuilds. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
