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 Specifically, You have these flags in USE, but portage is going to remerge kdelibs without them (-) as they are no longer valid (%) for 4.2.1-r3 The ebuild and the Changelog separately mention that these flags are now redundant as support is mandatory If so are they no long valid for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)? The former. Other stuff is likely to make use of plasma and webkit (they are fairly generic things) -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

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...

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. Emereging kde-base/kdelibs-4.2.1-r3 you don't have the USE plasma and webkit anymore in the ebuild. I haven't read the changlelog but I guess those USE are not optional anymore but are now mandatory.
