The latter. Specifically, You have these flags in USE, but portage is going to remerge kdelibs without them (-) as they are no longer valid (%) for 4.2.1-r3 The ebuild and the Changelog separately mention that these flags are now redundant as support is mandatory If so are they no long valid for kdelibs (in which case I leave them in make.conf) or are they completely deprecated flages (and hence I should removed them from make.conf)?

ON a more pragmatic note, should I stay (delay upgrade) or should I go now (sync and update on april 2). I got this song ringing in my head about syncing and updates for kde 4. I feel euphoric about my chances of screwing up my kde 4 box. Looking for wisdom, here. I'm using 4.2.2 and there's no noticeable difference I can tell from 4.2.1 ... the changelog is mostly of khtml and kmail stuff, neither of which I use. http://www.kde.org/announcements/changelogs/changelog4_2_1to4_2_2.php My only big problem (Akregator nsplugin interface gets stuck using CPU forever after flash is encountered) was not fixed in 4.2.2...

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. James You almost certainly want +plasma, as in this case +plasma means build the base libraries required for plasma, which means if you don't, the desktop and panel won't work anymore. I'm not sure about webkit, but that would probably be another, if in doubt, enable. - -- ABCD -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAknNIh0ACgkQOypDUo0oQOokNACfcqEi5JF0iliONaUIonejOZdP iysAn1qjMPI/um9MuawSVoXVucz4qsLj =1UOi -END PGP SIGNATURE-
