Hello, I kinda got my first kde 4.2.1 install working, as can best be describe as a "random_walk".
So I'm still getting it all straight in my head. Today upon a routine update to world, I noticed that kdelibs 4.2.1-r3 want to rebuild, minus the plasma and webkit flags: ebuild R ] kde-base/kdelibs-4.2.1-r3 USE="3dnow acl alsa bzip2 fam jpeg2k mmxnls opengl semantic-desktop spell sse sse2 ssl Not good methinks, but, I'm looking for somebody a little better versed in kde 4 to confirm that I should leave these flags. If so, my default (favorite place) for this is adding the flags to make.conf. After all I manage more than a dozen workstations and I try to have a much as possible the same on these machines. Or should I rebuild kdelibs without these flags? Sure I know what the flages do: plasma: Build optional plasma widgets that require kde-base/libplasma webkit: Enable bindings to QT Webkit enable WebKit support Use net-libs/webkit-gtk for rendering. Enable QT-WebKit rendering support Enable the webkit rendering engine Enables gtk WebKit support Use qt-webkit rendering engine for showing url thumbmails and for other things that needs webbrowser intergration. Enable the webkit rendering engine for item rendering Use net-libs/webkit-gtk for rendering rather than net-libs/xulrunner Enable x11-libs/qt-webkit support, for more sophisticated online help display using webkit's HTML renderer. But I have too little wisdom with kde4 to discern best practices. My default goal is to use sets to have something smilarly to the meta stuff, but not using meta now, so customizing my onw sets, or following other Gentooers that want massive (all) kde applications on many workstations, as to have one semantic to suppport, without "meta".
