It may be due to the holiday long week-end we just had. I'm sure it is being worked on and should appear shortly.

Errmm... are you serious? Are you complaining because a package is not on the mirrors when it's been only a few hours since its release?
0-day bugs and complains are not likely to be attended, and will only delay the bump of the package versions.
I will never understand people. In the past, they complained because the ebuilds was (hard masked) in the tree a week after the release. They unmasked them and could not donwload anything (logical, the release was not made yet), and they complained that those ebuilds should not be there then (when the error was in them, and not in gentoo, if you don't know how to use masked stuff, don't do so). Now you complain because one minute after the release, the ebuilds are not there.
Please, leave the gentoo team time to do so.

The KDE team is aware of the release.

Oh my god. kde-3.5.7 is out for several hours and not yet in portage. The world is about to end.
Get some perspective. |

I agree, even though it's only been out for a few hours, it's almost like a race to see who can get it first across distros, just check out gentoo-portage.com

If you can't wait, why not compile it yourself.
tar -xvjf kdelibs*
./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3.5.7 --disable-debug
make
make install

Just trying to upgrade. As some ebuilds are missing here, I am hacking them myself.
But to let you know, kdelibs are working by now.

| Please post if you've upgraded successfully without much package hacking. I have some issues with 3.5.5 and feel like some bleeding-edge fun. |

Here's the list of ebuilds I have bumped myself:
| Code: |
arts kdeartwork-wallpapers kmailcvt libkpgp
kcheckpass kdebase-meta kode librss
kcminit kdebase-startkde kreadconfig
kdeaddons-kfile-plugins kdebugdialog kstart
kdeartwork-sounds kdialog ksystraycmd
kopete
|
* arts is included here due to some Patches I am using for less power consumption.
* kopete is here to comment out the gnomemeeting-ekiga.patch as this one does not apply correctly - is it needed by now?

Yes but why is 3.5.6 still masked?
Un-masking KDE is not just a case of adding kde to umask but every kde app/lib that you need for umask version, which is a pain.
I am not complaining about how quick a new version is to get into portage but how it takes for new version to become marked as stable, when from what i can see every other distro is happy to use it?

carpman, please mind the slight difference between hard masked and ~keyword.
anyways - I am up and running the kde 3.5.7 base system now. No problems so far except the mentioned ones in my prev. Posting. I'm trying to compile the rest now.
Rei
Edit.:
Things going fine so far except as it wants to apply a patch that does not work here kde-base/nsplugins-3.5.7

Can you put this ebuilds in a layman overlay? |

They should be in the official tree soon. Just spotted kde-base/kdebase-startkde 3.5.7 a few hours ago.
Just copy the ebuild files from /usr/portage to your local tree and everything should be fine.

Yep i aware of differences between mask and ~x86 and will try autounmask but still why so long get KDE stable?
Will we have to wait for ever for 3.5.7 and what about KDE 4, if it takes so long to an incremental update to go stable i hate to think how long for KDE4

What's your problem? If you want to use it, just unmask it and use it!

I have been wondering about this too. KDE 3.5.6 has been out since January and it's still not stable? Come on, plenty of other distros have it stable (Ubuntu) for example. |

I believe the problem is this: As we have been told time and again on these forums, the devs work only on what they care about and we users should appreciate whatever we get. Flameeyes used to maintain KDE ebuilds and we all know what happened there.
So, now no one cares.
How long before we are told that if we want KDE to "put it in your overlay" |
