In this real world, I find I have to. Mixing tree and the kde overlays tends to produce weird things on my box that go away when I use exclusively one or the other. > And when ebuilds get changed, to they do revbumps in the > overlay? No. The overlay moves on to testing the next latest greatest thing. > And when there are revbumps in the overlay, will they stay > rev-bumbed when they enter the tree or are they reset to rev 0? There is no direct connection between an overlay and the tree, it's like this for all overlays. If konqueror-4.2.2-r42 from the overlay is added to the tree, it is added as konqueror-4.2.2. Why? Well, this is how portage works. > And why > are all the ebuilds in the overlay in slot 0 instead of 4.2? They are not. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

Typically the updates happen first in the overlay and then move to the tree, so by using the overlay you get to skip the waiting period (at the expense of /potential/ problems, though I haven't had any). Sometimes the USE flags change so if you use --newuse you might run into some of that, but that happens with non-KDE stuff in the normal portage tree, too. If I look at the KDE ebuilds none of them should be in slot 0. Everything from the KDE release should be either in slot 3.5 or 4.2. Some KDE-compatible apps, however, like k3b, koffice, Amarok etc are not part of the main KDE release and will use their own slot strategy (and their own versioning strategy as well).

Unfortunately, http://kde.gentoo.org doesn't seem to be updated at all. For the latest KDE stuff use layman and add the kde-testing overlay. What happens when the ebuilds move to the tree? Will I need to rebuild again? And when ebuilds get changed, to they do revbumps in the overlay? And when there are revbumps in the overlay, will they stay rev-bumbed when they enter the tree or are they reset to rev 0? And why are all the ebuilds in the overlay in slot 0 instead of 4.2? Yeah I know, too many questions :P
