Login here with Konq works fine for me in RC1 again. Also Kopete compiled succesfully.

OK guys step-by-step to workaround the Kopete compile issue. This will disable IRC but will let you compile the latest and greatest Kopete. =)

kopete emerged without any issues here so there must be something specific on your systems causing this.

Just two ebuilds that had incorrect patches and everything else is ok and working fine here. kcheckpass and mpeglib, just had to comment out the patches since they were not needed anymore.

Had some kwallet password issues on the box I updated from 3.4.3 but I'm using my 3.4 configs on it and I had to bring the desktop back up after I only had kdebase-meta emerged so that might have caused a few of the things I ran into.

I should mention I'm running AMD64, with GCC3.4.4. I also spoke with one other person on #kopete with this issue and who led me to the solution and he was also running 64bit Gentoo.

Does anyone know there are any kde monolithic ebuilds planed for 3.5.0_rc1 or are we going to have to roll our own?

Ok, I'm confused as well on the ebuils for RC1.

Here's what I have installed:
kdesdk-kioslaves-3.5.0_beta2
kdemultimedia-3.5.0_beta2
kdelibs-3.5.0_beta2
kdebase-3.5.0_beta2
kdegraphics-3.5.0_beta2
kdenetwork-3.5.0_beta2
kdepim-3.5.0_beta2
kdeutils-3.5.0_beta2
kdeedu-3.5.0_beta2
kdeadmin-3.5.0_beta2
kdetoys-3.5.0_beta2
kdegames-3.5.0_beta2
kdeaddons-3.5.0_beta2
kdeartwork-3.5.0_beta2
arts-3.5.0_beta2
cervisia-3.5.0_beta2

But even after just doing an emerge sync (14-Nov 12:00 EST), the system only wants to upgrade:
[ebuild U ] kde-base/arts-3.5.0_rc1 [3.5.0_beta2]
[ebuild U ] kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.0_rc1 [3.5.0_beta2]
[ebuild U ] kde-base/kdesdk-kioslaves-3.5.0_rc1 [3.5.0_beta2]
[ebuild U ] kde-base/cervisia-3.5.0_rc1 [3.5.0_beta2]

My emerge from beta1 to beta2 worked fine, but now I don't see any RC1 ebuilds for the packages that are not listed in the upgrade (meaning: I don't think this is a mask issue on my part).

What am I missing?

Now is there someone from the Developers, who can comment on what is going on here?

I mean the rc1 ebuilds are seriously broken since about 4 days, so someone should have at least noticed, and can comment on it.

With broken I mean that neither
emerge =kde-3.5.0_rc1
nor
emerge =kde-meta-3.5.0_rc1

works. (not even with the proposed eclass fix which was proposed here.)
I mean, how else am I supposed to get a complete version of rc1?
It would be nice to know at least why this is happening.

If you have metas (split) already installed and properly unmasked then there are no issues unless you haven't sync'd since they first came out. Your unmasking needs to specify >=...3.5_beta1 (or alpha1).

If you have monolithic builds installed then the only issue is that there aren't any monolithic ebuilds released yet. (arts and kdelibs are part of the split ebuilds so it wasn't a mistake)

After a bit of looking around, the best I can tell is that they have dropped the monolithic ebuilds between beta2 and RC1, even though the Split Ebuilds post said that wouldn't happen until KDE 4.0.

However, when I do an emerge on something like kdebase-meta, I see all the RC1 files, but of course they are blocked by the installed monolitic kdebase ebuild.

So now I am reading through the Split Ebuild post again to see how to get around that problem WITHOUT unmerging my existing KDE system.

Maybe I'm confused, but taking kdeutils-meta as an example, emerge -p kdeutils-meta shows:

You guys are making this MUCH more complicated than it has to be. Allow me to attempt to clear things up.

First of all, you must have in your package.unmask file, and identifier such as this:

I wanted to give rc1 a try, but I did not want to play with the meta ebuilds, I'm a monolithic kind of guy, anyway I basically copied the beta2 monolithic ebuilds to rc1 ebuilds, made a few small changes that seemed obvious, and added the patch to kdenetwork for kopete ( something to do with 64bit )

Well it works, and I'm playing on rc1 exploring it's vast features.....

In the spirit of open source, I feel compelled to make the ebuilds available to those who dare risk it all for the chance to toy with the rc1 monolithic way of life.

I copied the needed parts to /usr/local/portage/ the tatball can be unpacked there. If you do not know about the use of a portage overlay, you may just wait for the real ebuilds.

last word of warning, if it scares you, don't do it.
the tarball is here:

Would anyone mind sharing their package.keywords and unmask files for _rc1 split ebuilds ? I am installing a fresh gentoo box and would like to use _rc1 but am not having much luck with my (not so) clever forum searching and the one box I have this set up on is not reachable at the moment.

If anyone could either send me their files, point me in the right direction or offer any help i would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks & Cheers,

TightCode
