I just maintain my own KDE tree in /opt/kde. It is very easy to do this in gentoo. If you then later want to emerge another app with a KDE component in the USE flag ( such as USE=arts ), just *tell* portage that it is installed by using 'emerge --inject kde-/' That, and make an /etc/env.d/99kde-env entry for KDEDIRS, and you are all set. Gentoo is flexable, if you don't like the way they are packaging stuff, just build your own :P -- If you wait by the river long enough, eventually you will see the bodies of all your enemies float by. - Sun Tzu >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
